Hi Victorious, I have found moves hard and they seemed to get even harder as I aged. How long ago did you move if you don't mind my asking? I remember a sibling who was active duty at the time and extremely fit developing back pain during moving. So when it comes to moves youthful days don't guarantee not racking up pain. Losing the support of close relationships also has taken a toil on my health in the past. You have been enduring many changes like these that increase the old stress scale. I am currently in a online Mindfulness class to learn methods to better deal with my stress. I make progress some weeks and have setbacks on others. I take some (in place) Mindfulness walks.
Many cities have Senior Centers that one can call and make a appointment with a Nurse or Social Worker to learn about any available local caretaking resources. It sounds like you could really use a break from caring for your husband. My father was a Veteran so I am limited in knowledge to his V.A. resources.
I moved into a city I was uncomfortable with at first, but eventually it feels like home. A friend drove to Stockton recently to view a Cambodian sculpture garden. Her pictures are incredible! I trust things will come out in the wash and you will become all around more comfortable than you presently are.

Hi thx for reply. Just moved 2 miles away from our expensive retirement
community. I am 74 years old and have terrible spine issues ...getting out
if bed is torture. I get relief from an opiate but the pain is so severe
that I,m not emotionally stable to put up with all the noise and sudden
temper outbursts. His pain is getting worse and the pandemic threw
all our progress out the door. My PC was going to check community svs to
see if I can get some help thru Medicare. I hired a lady from church whom
I pay $22 hrs. To help me sort through the junk that still remains to be
sorted and tossed.
My husband can be so sweet and it hurts to see him decline. I need to get
away from him for a spell. Had gone to the library for books on subject.
Had 10 sessions of free counseling g from my church and walked around my
apt. Now I Hurt so much to get dressed and get going. Force myself to do
some chores. In this group, I just need to vent. Will be meeting with
hubby's cardiologist to discuss vein transfer which was our original
attempt before good vein surgeon left the country during the pandemic, I
had bowel cancer and surgery, clean results 6 months ago and waiting for
new f/u results. Having self pity issues lifting both walkers in the car
and my hubby's stubbornness to wear his hearing aids among other stuff.
Will go to other appropriate connect sites, but right now I just want to
scream.
Am hoping nerve abelation on December will help me cope better. But our
hospitals and medical sites are a disaster in the last two years.The
homeless have taken over and many med personnel have quit leaving those
left, stressed and overworked.
Hugs to you....
