Of Wednesday

I have not been out, today. I will go down to the lobby, later on to get my medication delivery. It cost $1.00 for both the antibiotic and the inhaler.

I have decided or should I say that I have come to the realization, that my life as I know it, is probably about as good as it is going to get. That is not intended as a derrogatory statement. Actually, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I, chipchocolate am truly blessed. First and foremost, I have Bear70. I have a caregiver that comes to my home, 5 days per week to assist me with whatever I might need. I have health insurance which, in and of itself is worth its weight in gold. It covers all doctors’ visits, hospitalizations, medications, c-pap supplies and equipment, a walker, a cane, a therapist, bloodwork and any other testing, and a plethora of other services, too numerous to mention. I qualify for HUD housing, wherein  I have a beautiful apartment with all utilities included with my rent. I have free medical transportation. The list goes on and on. I am not boasting about it. I am very grateful to God for all that has been bestowed upon myself.

Do I wish that I could have had a lifetime career as a nurse? My answer is yes. Unfortunately, stones were thrown at me and things did not go in my favor. Still, as a disabled individual, I have no right to complain.

The one thing that I lack are friends. I intend to find friends in books, and all they have to offer. That is my only recourse, and I think that it is a very wise choice. I like going to the local library. IT offers a basically quiet atmosphere to get lost in the world of biographies, psychology books and books based on true life stories.

My life, as I know it is pretty good. And I have three wonderful daughters and seven amazing grandchildren. My oldest and youngest daughters have spouses that take care of them and love them very much. What more could I ask for? God even granted me the ability to journal and write poetry, which is how I purge. I am truly blessed! 🙂
