I am elderly, got elderly type problems and then some, including legally blind (I see to read) and mostly deaf and (give me a wailing violin please) on and on. My doctor says I am blessed that I have my mind intact, I have much to be thankful for.
I have outlasted my wonderful buddies, and now I'm dependent on others like you can't believe. I had a caretaker, she was bipolar so it made it hard but I made it until she had me in the car for 45 minutes of berating me and yelling at me until I just couldn't take it any more. When I asked her to leave she called my daughter who blamed me for not getting along with her and even gave her my car I had signed over to my daughter so she could. I can't drive with my eyes, but I thought it would be an out for hiring someone to take me where I have to go.
As the caretaker left she said you have chosen to have no one now, you are up against it. And she is right. I chose not to listen to the putdowns any more, and yelling back would really be a dead end street. It was put up or shut up, and I just can't do it any more.
Now!! No groceries even. I think my church will find someone for my prescriptions. I think of Elijah, and just as he made it fine I think I will, too, but I NEED prayers.
