10. I hope it is a great one for you!

I am having some Carolan's and coffee. My real drinking days are over, since. my body just doesn't really like it that much anymore. No worries however, as I certainly drank my share (and a few other people's as well) back in the day. These days, it is pretty much cannabis. Which I am also enjoying.

I have been having some real struggles with the fact that said body is getting more and more unreliable and incapable of doing the things I used to do with relative ease. For example, we had to purchase a vehicle because the previous one decided to pick the worst time to die on us. We had installed a camera system in the old vehicle, and I wanted to install it in the new one. This required some contortion work, which I used to do without much fuss. However, this time, I am sore to the point of having to walk like an Egyptian two days later. I may have done something to my back because I had to lay over the door jamb to look under the dash to access the fuse box. This does not bode well for any future projects. Hell, most of the reason I am still around is because I am someone who tries to fix/repair/alter things myself instead of throwing money at them (mainly because I have none to throw). If I cannot even run a simple cable or fix a hole in the wall without wondering if I am going to code before I spend fifteen minutes on the project, I am beyond in trouble. So is my husband, as I am why we always have a running car and a solid place (as solid as I can get it anyway) to live.

So, to the question. What do you think is the best way to address the health issues mentioned (loss of ability to the point of being unable to care for oneself without help, of which there is none), other than the usual suggestions which are all out of my price range? Is there something to be done, other than resigning oneself to the fact that the time has come to find a hole in the ground somewhere because I can't even afford to be buried? I mean, I blew the 'ounce of prevention' part, and I am thinking that even the 'pound of cure' won't help me.
