Flip flopping between hope

and ... The doctors, and the tests look ok. But it's been a year that I have been totally exhausted. In addition my shoulder may never heal and I will have limited movement. It's my right arm so that is not good news... I would like to be healthy again. At this moment that does not look likely

I used to think the "getting old ain't for sissies" saying was pretty silly, then I started getting older! LOL.... for sure it is a time of change especially physically. If feels like constant change as in, looking at how to do everything a different way in order to accommodate whatever part is fussing next. Interesting that there is nothing they can do to address your shoulder.

It's possible that surgery can fix it. It's possible that the physical therapy things I'm doing will help a lot. There's more going on with my body. They don't know why I'm totally exhausted for a year now. I'm also worried about my medicare and whether everything is going to be paid for. I have to ask "is it covered?" for every single thing they do. If I don't I may end up homeless. I have to wait now and see what happens when the paper work from sept comes in. The whole thing is just overwhelming. Caretaking for my 96 yr old mother. It's a long list of hard work for me. carrying groceries up stairs. laundry up and down the stairs. non son stop cleaning, washing dishes. no family to help really. And not one person has any money. it's pretty much the total collapse of everything
