Sorry about this toot, just need to offload!
My cachexia has now officially been diagnosed as refractory cachexia (meaning the #cancer treatments are no longer working). I have no heat in minus temps as it's too expensive, and my home is ridiculously damp. We also have regular power cuts upcoming thanks to Tory mismanagement.
I foresaw a lot of possibilities for my end of life care, but this was not one of them. In the dark, freezing, and damp!
Oh well. C'est la vie.

I am sorry to learn that you are contending with so much at once 💜 😔
@Minholkin Thank you. xx I'm sure there are many others in similar circumstances. It just makes me so mad about the fuel bills, tripled, because no one can afford them, let alone those of us not working. And The government simply do not care. It's inhumane.
It is inhumane. And while there are many others, my heart hurts for you extra as someone I see and appreciate.
@Minholkin That's a really nice thing to say, thank you. Life is what it is, I am old enough to know that, and remain grateful that I have a home, which so many don't. xx
Bless you for your focus on gratitude--many folks would struggle to find it <3
@Minholkin It helps to quantify things sometimes, especially when everything seems awful. Then you suddenly realise that in the grand scheme of things you're incredibly lucky to live somewhere with great health care and lots of caring folk around you. Somehow this helps. xx
@Florence
Your perspective and grace is a gift to the rest of us 💜
