My husband and I had been together for 59 years. He had Parkinson's so his balance was not so good. I begged and begged for him to use the walker at night when he had to get up to go to the bathroom, but all he said was "I can do it myself." So you can guess what happened. He fell and broke his leg and that was it. Shortly thereafter was when I had to have my hip replaced. My oldest son lives far away - he teaches school in China. If it were not for pandemic I would go to him. His wife is a nurse and they wanted me to come so they could take care of me. Other son lives in Texas. It is a place I would never want to live. In addition we have had a major falling out. We are still speaking, but barely. Now my house cleaner didn't show up. So will have to see if I can find someone - again. I don't have any plans to make everyone around me miserable, mainly because there are so few people near me. I am hoping to be in your place soon. That is, having more good days than bad. Thank you more than I can say for your words of comfort.
