Bio

I am now 60 with degenerative disc disease and spinal facet syndrome a chronic pain condition. I have also had both knee joints completely replaced and was caregiving for a stepmother with Parkinson’s disease the whole time and I had no assistance with my or her caregiving the whole while. Then she got dementia and basically threw me away like trash after lying to anyone that would listen. She never appreciated all I sacrificed to give her loving care🤬

...See more I am 62 and so frustrated with my spine hurting 24/7. I am scared of assisted living or an adult home. I am in Utah so winters really suck having Orthopedic problems. I am so lonely and struggle a lot with Anxiety due to my current quality of life alone with no family closer than 1,300 miles away. I am sad to say I am really scared of what my life is going to become. Do I have anything good to look forward to in my miserable life?

Life sucks when we get to our older years and have nobody we can count on. We are just alone and nobody really cares.

...See more I have been in a nursing and rehabilitation facility for 7 months, I have degenerative disc disease and spinal facet syndrome. I am in chronic pain everyday. I have also had both knee joints completely replaced. Life makes me cry everyday being 60 with no visitors and no income to get any snacks and they quite often feed me too little leaving me still hungry and 😡 ANGRY and sad in tears. I really hate my life right now.

It is so hard at 60 to be in chronic spinal pain every minute of every hour of every day.

...See more I just was just awaken by crazy spinal pain and had to wheelchair to the nurses station for my pain medicine. I have to deal with major pain until September 7th when I get a RFA to burn 8 spinal nerves. I am in tears everyday at this nursing and rehabilitation facility. I cry from loneliness far too often as well. 7 months I have been in here with no visitors and no money to buy anything. I hate my life it’s so difficult right now. They often don’t feed me enough, I am not a 4 yr old….really messed up small servings.

...See more I have spent over 4 months now in a Nursing and Rehabilitation facility and am not feeling like I am making any progress on improving my quality of life. I really don’t have any close friends that live here so I get no visits and I have no vehicle so I am stuck walking long distances and riding public transportation. My life feels so dark and lonely 😔.
