Getting along

I don't go very far nowadays. Sleep all day in my chair. On oxygen now so I catch my wind faster. Been retired now for 10 years, thought I would work until I die...no way.

Getting by

Have lots to do at home..just can't. Lose my wind fast. Have to rest. Afraid to shower, but I sit on a stool every week. I'm not alone but feels like I am. Can't go to the store anymore. My kids are a big help. Love reading this I'm not alone.
