I have a sweet miniature poodle who has made my life much better as I do live alone and rarely see my family members. My social life is further limited by my having celiac disease which caused my neuropathy. I have to be super-careful with what I eat because if I ingest gluten, my body gets a scary inflammatory response. Luckily, I do not have the digestive issues that some celiac folk have. Sometimes I feel I would just rather be alone as that is what I am now accustomed to. I live here in Queens, a borough of NYC, and it is anything but quiet. Be glad that you are in the "boonies". I hope that you will have more days without pain and that you will still go out for groceries but may be less doctor appointments as they can be stressful and not always helpful. Good luck to you
