Immune Deficiencies make life horribly hard, doubly so when you have multiples (which I discovered isn't a rare thing). I empathize with you; I'm down to my last 6 pain pills to last til the end of the month... obviously that's not gonna work. I can never get my body to cooperate to make it that long. So, I try to get as much done while I have my pills, because the last week or so will be spent in bed. If only I had someone to cook supper during those times. I worry about hubs not getting enough to eat. Before old age hit us, he couldn't boil water. Now? I'm afraid the kitchen would go up in flames and STILL the water wouldn't boil! (sigh)
