Thanks so much for your suggestions.
I do need, however, to explain my health concerns.
January 2025, because of my imbalance, I took a nasty fall while my husband was hospitalized for pneumonia. Well, long story short, the senior facility called 911, and an ambulance whisked me away to the local ER. From there I ended up having surgery for a broken hip, as well as a broken femur.
As a result of this, I am now in a wheelchair and am receiving PT every 2 weeks. Of course, my goal is to be able to walk with my walker (as I did before) with a cane. I don’t see in my future being able to walk without assistance, a harsh realization.
I say all this because of your suggestion to take a walk. Believe me, I’d love to! When my femur heals which was, without a doubt, the worst injury, I do plan to get outside and enjoy nature, on my walker! As it is now, this facility has a “Fitness Room” with a few dumbbells and a couple of recumbent bikes. I drag my husband there at least 3x a week. It’s kind of funny - it appears we’re the only residents who use it. I guess no one else is interested, but I’ve been working out 30 years, and although it’s a far cry from what I’m used to, I’m just not ready to completely give it up.
Since I’m not locked in to a lease, I am still looking for a place to live that would allow me to at least indulge some of my desires, while at the same time providing the care we both need.
Thank you, again.
