Hi,
Forgot my name on here.lol. Brain fog I guess. Should show up when you read this.
Been away from here awhile.
Have spinal problems since age 14. Got worse during a bad pregnancy 48 yrs ago and chronic in 1977.
But I managed to stand and teach math in college for 25 years full time but after 2 auto accidents, fibromyalgia, and a balance problem in 2005 my PT convinced me to not go back. I still did part time teaching on and off until I had a stroke in 2009 - from which I supposedly recovered but I have so many problems they don't know which one is affecting my balance. I also have diabetic neuopathy in the nerves in my feet that tell us where we are.
I have a married son who helps do things in my house but he has 4 kiddos- the oldest is autistic and his wife now works out of necessity.
I lost my hubby who did everything for me 5 years ago. He was my best friend on earth and I just cannot get over losing him. So I deal with anxiety and depression.
My knee got worse than my back and I only have a lady who cleans 3 hours a week.
I have been turned down for subsidized car service 3 times. I am too embarrassed to say how many meds I am on. They tell me to take 3 buses to see my son. I haven't been on a bus in over 5 years.
I feel like a complainer writing all this but unfortunately it is my life.
Most of my few friends have moved away or passed away and my neighbors are almost all from a different ethnic group and know none of this. They probably think that I am rich cause I take car service and cabs.
I wish I could go to lunch with some of you or visit or have you visit. You would understand that I cannot entertain you and we would have a great time and forget about reality for awhile.
I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart.
