Having joined only yesterday and posted at least twice; this morning I can find no trace of my postings!!! Help needed I think!

Having suffered with less than good health for most of my life,thankfully I managed a very successful Nursing career,but then in the 80`s I was at death`s door repeatedly as major surgery and treatments were required for 4 various cancers. My husband struggled for 10 years working long hours to pay the mortgage whilst caring for me but eventually he was Medically advised to retire at 55........ or putting it bluntly we would both end up in coffins sooner rather than later! So for the past 30 years my health has deteriorated..................... and now he too has a life threatening illness newly diagnosed. We have no children or near family so life is indeed very difficult. We moved into this lovely home in the country when life seemed better but which now is proving far from ideal,the gardens,once our pride and joy are a burden,the property far too big,we live 3 miles out of town and all needful amenities. So it is a must that we drastically rearrange our lives.................... making things far easier for us to cope in a situation that is only going to get constantly worse. A situation that is easy to suggest and even to agree is right............. but not very easy to implement when perpetually feeling so under par,lots of maintenance required but no strength to do it,moving house needs the property and gardens looking well kept or there are no hopes for a buyer............ When handicapped the new home has to have certain special areas...........it is not easy finding these and viewing itself is a nightmare...............furthermore this is but the tip of the problem,time waiteth not........... and the health continues to deteriorate.................HELP!!! So we are not alone ...........there are many of us facing what seems unsurmountable and nightmarish problems.......... but it is good to share........and sharing comes for free!! I totally endorse the fact crystalbear............it is a very lonely life.......

Good afternoon to you all from Wales, and I am delighted to add I bring you some sunshine!!! The last 2 days have been pleasant and a boost to the rather disappointing and soggy summer.I live in an area which attracts very many visitors who enjoy a county with gorgeous bays on three sides, together with a plethora of pretty villages,castles and scenery that is stunning. Like several of the new posters here I am in my 70`s,married with no children and am mainly housebound,therefore my P.C is both my life line and great friend. Fortunately I was told I was born with a pen in my hand!!! so I am never short on something to say even though my life is extremely limited.........and the subject matter can be limited. Sincerely hoping that silversurfers lives up to its reputation!!! So that we shall soon be talking away like good friends.
