hi from Wheatland

[Sally Sanchez]

Life has changed. My health is not good. After months of agonizing pain, inability to move my body enough to perform daily needs the physicians finally realized that I have Rheumatoid arthritis in multiple body parts. Pain management was ineffective but they gave me steroids and I was able to move, short term. Methotrexate pills does work but they added Humira. They forgot to inform me that it would take 6 months to begin to work and it was minimally 6 months.  Was it research? Did that confirm that I had the severity I already knew. The two medications has stopped the damage to my joints but I am increasing pain once again.

I did move to my daughter's new office. I thought I would not work as hard. Cleaning house/office, holding her office open by greeting all at the door, taking rent... Well I didn't take into account that three ladies would not do well in one office even though I was low man on the totem pole/worthless and the other two ladies worked mostly out of the office that they, my daughter included, would gang up on me.  They would gossip about me, keep secrets, and call me names such as fucking weird.  I would hide in my bedroom which is all I had to myself, put puzzles together and watch TV. That was unacceptable. Most important was the female co-worker needed to be respected for all she "did for me".  Any time I tried to talk to my daughter was not well received. 

I chose to return to the vineyard. That also was not received. I am not part of the family. I was not a very good daughter and I was not to have much association with my grandson nor my son-in-law.  I received a lengthy email that specified I was not to expect any help so I understand that my heavy work has caused me to lose whatever the medications are trying to do for me. 

After all of that I wondered what you did to help yourself  by moving and I understand your life has been enlightened. I just want to live with less bills and my Bella, who is my Keltie runt. She is all I have and I need to find a new place that will keep my Bella happy.  I looked into a senior living that will take dogs but none seem like they are as dog friendly as Bella needs.  I was hoping to talk with Chugwater. That would be a great place but they need to rearrange their buildings to accommodate elderly with dogs. Politics may infringe on progress.  I can't be the only senior who needs their doggie. I cannot live without her.

Do you have any ideas? 

Be Seeing Ya,

Hi Sally, 

I guess we part of Edith's group. I'm Susan Kotowicz in Cheyeene.

 I am sorry to hear of your troubles. I would suggest that you call 211. That won't send the cops or an ambulance. What it will do is connect you with an information source they say for all of Wyoming. Maybe they can help you find the right living situation for you and your pup! I'll leave any other suggestions up to you and your medical team. Best of luck!

Susan
