I think there were some good comments. Don’t have a dog. She doesn’t like dogs. We live 21 miles from town and there is nothing there when you get there. I have back trouble been going to doctors for 90 days with no results. So most days I feel bad which doesn’t help anything. I am 83 and she is 82. House we live in is over 90 years old. Have son and daughter in law live about 35 miles away. They come by and help when necessary, We are in agriculture which is tough. I have been trying to retire but have not been able to completely. There is basically no help of any kind. Thanks

Have you given any consideration to an independent living situation where you have no restrictions but there would be people to have coffee with or talk to if you’d feel like it? Some places have optional care so you would have some help with your wife.
I am in my mid sixties so I feel like that is an odd option for us at this time because of our age. If I was in my eighties, I would definitely just take a look at a couple places.
