Leaves are in piles need picked up, one small branch hanging off tree in back needs cut off. Yard needs to be mowed. Dirt needs to be spread that’s here and 3 Timbers need to be placed for unfinished job where they were left. I have winter rye grass seed someone is welcome to, but I don’t think it will grow if we do plant it and try to water it. I don’t think it would grow long because it’s already getting hot. I probably need some sort of sod or patch sodding to get my grass going again. I broke my back three years ago and I’ve had two botched surgeries after falling out of the bed at the hospital when the nurses left the side of the bed down. Caregivers are hard to come by. They don’t get paid enough so they don’t show up for work very often. My daughter became my caregiver over the last 2 years or so and we became very close and Texted and talked all the time…. but she was recently killed by her roommate and I am heartbroken. It feels as though my life is falling apart, but it’s really just the yard. I don’t have the equipment anymore, even though I used to have a lot of tree service and I know how to do it. I sold my laundry service in the 90s because I broke my neck falling out of a tree. I’ve had scoliosis since I was a child but that’s why they’ve done the recent surgery because my spine started to twist into my brain stem. In fact that’s why my back broke because I took a desk job and my core started to relax so much that the curve turned into a C and L3 snapped right in half. Any help you can give me would be great. I appreciate it. I can’t afford much but I can certainly afford something. The cities been out here twice because the neighbors have gone because the leaves get into the pool and then the pool turned green and it draws mosquitoes and ducks. I really need the help please. I recently fell off the bed because nobody was here to help me change lightbulbs when it was cold and dark in my room, and I broke all the ribs on the left side and in my back when I saw the x-ray, my doctor thought that I’d have been in a car wreck. I should’ve gone to the ER that night, but I have a small dog and I knew that we’re gonna keep me so it’s been two months since that happened and I just got the x-rays on Friday. I don’t really know what to do with that because I still have no one to take care of my dog. My daughter would’ve been the one to help me, but she’s dead and my other daughter lives in Oklahoma with my four grandkids There’s really no one to help me. I have friends here and there, but most of the mom cats and my dog has gotten so attached to me in the last three years that she can’t really be away from me so I can’t take her to the hospital, but I’m having trouble breathing And I probably punctured along my pancreas or something. I know there was internal breathing because I could hardly breathe when it happened and I just laid still for the first couple of weeks but when I saw the x-ray from the CD and from the attack on Friday, we both went. Wow I am very lucky! Faith is my superpower. I know that God loves me. There’s no doubt in my mind, but I’m still at a losses to what to do. I know I need another surgery for my back because there’s six broken screws on my tailbone because the second surgeon left them there and now I know I have all my rooms except one look like they’re broken severely so I need help my dearest friends live in Arizona, Colorado, Seattle, San Antonio, Kerrville, and the one that lives here is 82 years old and has five cats or she would take my dog. I know prayers work. I just don’t know what God has planned for me or for my dog. Please let me know how you can help. Thanks so much for listening Monica Brown I’m just gonna take some pictures out back. Stay there. I’m not going outside. I’m just going to the window.
