I wrote this in October; not much has changed. I am regaining use of my left hand. Maybe I don't need a walker but, I am afraid to not use one.
My problems started about about two years ago. I fell and broke my leg in three place. My hip has been broken twice (but not at the same time).
I retired at age 59. Lived in an Assisted Living apt. (with Felicia and Beau). I liked it there very much.
I started having siezures. I have been on medication for siezures most of my life. So I don't know what started them.
It was decided that I needed nursing home care, until my health got better. My aunt knew someone who took Felicia. Beau was to be given back to me.
My health is OK but now my problem is "lack of funds." I can't afford to live anyplace else until I draw my pension. That won't be for 3 more years.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Nancy. Is Beau back with you again? I know things must seem really bad right now, but keep hope! You have friends that are praying for you and hoping things will turn around. Stay strong and big hugs!

Nancy, I am so glad to hear that your health is improving! This really is good news. I think you have to take things one step at a time and try to find joy in things as they happen. Things are moving forward, and while I know that the financial situation is a set back, try to think of it as temporary.
I will continue to keep you in my thoughts
You have been through so much, but have remained so strong. I hope things continue to look up for you.

No LokisMum, he isn't with me. I haven't heard from the lady caring for him for a long time either.

I really miss Beau. I miss Felicia too, but she is getting along OK. Have no idea how my Beau is getting along.

I have been told that I can't afford them until a can get my pension.

I try to have faith and not be discouraged. I am considering putting a small verse (biblical or other) on my tcs signature to remind me to do this.

That seems like the saddest part of all this to me. I hope things improve for you soon - can you - or someone on your behalf - contact Beau's carer? It would probably cheer you to know how he's doing.

You and your babies remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I agree! I sincerely hope that you receive news of Beau - how you must miss him! My prayers are with you!
