Where do you go when you're no longer add value?

I had a gastric sleeve surgery in 2014. Surgeon made mistakes, panicked not knowing how to fix, so he did nothing and pretty much disappeared while I was left leaking all throughout. I spent 9 months in icu/hospital fighting to stay alive. Multisustem failure, septic, in a coma on a ventilator.

This is so awful. I’m so sorry. Is there any recourse you can take? I just can’t imagine what you’ve been through, but you fought to survive. And it had to have been hard to learn how to walk and gain your strength back.

Hi Kell,
My God! You poor thing. I know money only goes so far, but I hope there was a successful lawsuit on your behalf.
I've always been an introvert and enjoy being alone, but can sympathize with your loneliness. This may sound trite but I see several comments about pets and, if you can manage it, they can be a life changer. I would recommend a cat because they are lower maintenance than dogs who need to be walked daily, which sounds like it could be a challenge for you. We have cats that we've grown to love like children and are pretty much our whole world.
