I'm with you regarding the cooking, but there are a lot of nutritious and not too expensive frozen dinners that taste pretty good (I like the organic ones, at least you can trust those). And if you combine it with a little soup and salad, some fruit for dessert ... it's sort of healthy and doesn't feel like you're totally relying on freezer food.<br />Best,<br />MartyMartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696228344180197628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211142452306927978.post-51848486283481656102009-08-17T22:47:26.380-04:002009-08-17T22:47:26.380-04:00I've missed some of your entries so I see you&...I've missed some of your entries so I see you've got lots of good advice already.

They have this really great product for putting on socks. I know because I have RA and sometimes something that simple is hard.:-)<br /><br />Also, Tabby gave you some great advice. Get febreze too. Also, I don't know if you ever looked into this but being disabled and a veteran you may be able to get cleaning help really cheap, just for a few dollars an hour. Once every two weeks for a morning or couple of hours once a week, might be great for you.

First of all do you really need to make the bed everyday...naah just close the door. I can never cook for myself just like you, I find frozen dinners to be the answer. Now a days you can get some pretty good stuff you can cook in the microwave that is healthy, like steamed veggies, pasta dinners for one, and they even have breakfast meals you can zap. For sweeping I know they have those dust pans that are on a long pole in walmart so you do not have to bend over. What ever you do when cleaning do not ever, ever mix bleach and ammonia together as it is deadly. Look for products that are chemical free that should help with your COPD. Can anyone help you with the cleaning at once a week, even if you have to pay them? Just some idea's I hope they help. Hang in there my friend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718995173309662787noreply@blogger.com
