It’s really hard when friends are in bad health suddenly. It brings all of our mortality to the forefront.

So true. My SIL, who is in her mid-50s and was diagnosed with breast cancer, has just ended her chemo and is going into radiation. The manager of our dry cleaners, who is in her 60s and has become a friend, was just diagnosed with colon cancer and is just undergoing therapy for it. It definitely makes me think about my mortality.
 
Overwhelmed, everything is falling apart, I'm at the end of my rope and just ready to call it a life.

I've got twenty days until I have to be out of here ready or not, my wife in the nursing home may have had a stroke Sunday, and my little anti-social cat I can't find a home for her and she's sick too with only a short time left. I've got my bully cat re-homed, my house is in an awful state, and things are pretty much at rock bottom here, the only thing for certain is my time is drawing short and the future looks bleak.

I'm sorry to be a downer, but I'm ready to give up. On top of this my social security has been cut due to their screw up **** it I'm so ready to be out of her if I knew where to get it I'd take fentanyl and croak.

This believe this is the number to your state's Senior Services Center : 1-800-235-5503

I have no idea if they can help, but worth a shot.
 
My strength is pretty close to zero. Saturday at the ER hey told me I am anemic. (among all the other stuff), Got a call this morning from last Tuesday's Urgent care saying I tested positive for a staff infection.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with the cardiologist but I have no idea how I will get from the parking lot to the office. It took me all day to do a small load of laundry and I left half of it on the dryer. Maybe it's time to check out my late son's walker which has never been used.

Feeling a little goofy. That should be staph infection not staff.

How horrible for you, at least you know what is is and so can take treatment.
Are you feeling any better?

I'm sorry you are having difficulties. Have you thought about a rollator walker? It has 4 wheels and a seat in case you need to sit for a minute. They are pretty stable. I used one when I had a knee injury and had to get to the doctor's office from my car.

Since that original post I have been through a lot. I had internal bleeding and required 4 bags of blood and 7 days in the hospital. I was able to come home for my 87th birthday. Thank you all for your good wishes.
