Looks like I can eliminate cousin #3 from people that can help me. She didn't call me but she responded to a text that my husband's cousin/Godson sent. She is overwhelmed with everything she has to do. I will have to double my efforts to look for someone to replace her and also cousin #2 for taking me to appointments, etc.
Breakfast - Protein bar
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Stuffed cabbage, mixed veggies, cranberry juice, tropical fruit
Dessert/Snack - Unsalted nuts, 70% dark chocolate
Dinner - Turkey/vegan cheese sandwich, veggie straws, blueberries
What did you eat yesterday?

That's too bad. You will probably have to go with home health aided..unless you can get something from Agency on Aging.

I have a list from the Council on Aging. Most require 12 hours per week which computes to over $1,000 per month. That's too expensive.

@snowy22315 I went to my PCP yesterday for my Wellness Exam. She said she knows two women who do work for the elderly and they also may be able to give me rides to my appointments.

I’m sorry, but you do need someone you can rely on.
I had the usual for lunch, and chicken soup and cheese sammiches for dinner. Yogurt and applesauce! (No fiber bars. Too many fiber bars have been…ahem…doing what too much fiber does to a system. 
)

@LindaOHio No more lentils? They and other beans are vital proteins for your health.

I hope you can find someone that can help you that you can trust and that will not charge an arm and the leg for their services.

If you find someone not affiliated with an agency, you can run a background check on them yourself, and although you are "old" you are still very with it and not someone who would become a victim of a scam. Good luck in your search.

@LindaOHio that's good news Linda. Certainly would be a big help for you without having to depend on the cousins who aren't dependable.

@Marilynda1225 Cousin #2 is always on time; and she has only cancelled on me once. But she is leaving, of course.

I still say you should seek independent operators who offer these kinds of services. They are everywhere. It would be worth your time to find someone who is not part of a big company who can "tailor" their services to your needs.
As for dinner, I have no idea what to call what I made. But I did post about it. Can we call it a taco pot pie? Whatever it was, it was damn good eats. lol

@porwest I like this better because she trusted them with her mom; and it wouldn't be like hiring a perfect stranger.

@LindaOHio I hope you can find what you are looking for because, like I said, I know damn well they are out there.
