Frustrated tonight.

Tweet

For all of you who are disabled in one way or another, especially if the disability is fairly new, I have a question. What do you do when you are just so tired of having to find someone to help you do things you used to be able to do for yourself? I mean, now I have to pay someone to do things for me like the general housecleaning. There are other issues because of where I live and that I don't have my own laundry facility, so my daughter has to come and get my laundry and take it to her house, then bring it back to me. All the things I used to do like the deep cleaning, rearranging my own furniture, organizing and sorting through things to find out what I want to keep or get rid of, and all the simple things we all take for granted when we are able to do them, now just frustrate me because I have to pay someone to come do it for me. That means I have to be acceptable to their schedule and it doesn't always work for me because of my part time work schedule. My work schedule conflicts with my daughter's schedule with her baby a lot of the time. So, now that I have poured out my frustrations tonight, how do you cope with things like this if you are disabled? I live alone so that makes it that much worse. I don't like my job, but I am blessed to have it because I can work from the comfort of my own home and it is part time. I could not afford to go without this job without some other income to take its place because my disability is not enough to live on. Up until today I had hopes of getting to move where it is air conditioned and where I have laundry facility I can use myself. But that deal fell through. That is a big part of the frustrations tonight.
