My husband and I are in our 60's and neither is in good health. Major issues on both sides.
Our house has become too big for us and the laundry is in the basement which means stairs. Not good. Not awful, but we will have to go up and down and we have to heat the basement with firewood. No way.
I absolutely love it here and do not want to go, but I know we have to. We bought a ranch house in the next town in a neighborhood which means fairly close houses... not too bad. I am sick over this move. Sam is taking it pretty well.
The one good thing is we will be 7 minutes away from our son.
I am totally stressing about the move, the packing, the mess and the fact that I can't life a box of dust without feeling exhausted. So I won't be much help. My husband is a cheapskate and won't spring for a mover. I'm trying to convince him that we need one. He seems to think we can depend on the kids. They will help, but I'm sure they won't be able to do much for us. Everyone has their own lives, jobs, kids etc.
Anyway I'm pretty sure all my fatigue and pain and chest flutters are probably just anxiety, but I can't tell where the anxiety lets off and the MS fatigue steps in. We are fortunate that we don't have to rush through this. Haven't sold our country place yet. So we might have months to move into the new place.
I just don't know where to begin. I find myself running from one room to the other, beginning to sort out and pack, then getting lost in the process.
Anyone been thru this? Anyone have suggestions? Help!!!
