i'm still feeling stressed and probably will feel stressed, with depression and anxiety until we find a place to live. we both have had days that we both want to give up and both of us go home. but my wife and i by definition are fighters so suicide is not an option. we are still trying to look forward to good things ahead . we know things will get better. i think tomorrow we will feel better because we have already packed more than a pick up truck of boxes. my sons are going to take the boxes and a little furniture to storage so it will look like we are making progress. we are also starting to sell things we don't need

Will be thinking of you, and pulling for you & sending only good thoughts! @cymbele : that is intense, and perhaps sudden, indeed~
I think, I'd take solace in the fact that; you've got to trust the surgeons, and their skills. The cardiologists, or other doctors who have decided upon this route as the best available option. And then just trust the science; medically/health-wise* -& hopefully, All things will end (& go) well! My Dad has gone through this a couple of times - the first of which, was a little hairy. But even so, made it through & was eventually back (after some rehab) to his mile long hikes in the dessert / Yes, they can be unpredicatable - they did not know in the begining how difficult it was going to be... but regardless; & in the end, everything turned out o-kay. And he is now, about ~75% of the way back from his second major procedure. So I will wish the best for you & send my sincerest caring thoughts, as you go through this, adventure or endeavor. I know it is hard, when you don't have any control. And the not knowing, is indeed scary, to be sure. But again, I'd (at least) try to--trust the dr.'s, trust the profession, & their level of expertise that hopefully the stats will bear out in your favor. For that is what we want, and wish for in the end. Anything good on TV? -mrb.

I am only too familiar with this project. What I did was put nearly everything in storage and then put what I thought I could sell on a marketplace app. I didn’t use fb marketplace for safety reasons. Things went better than expected.
I used a storage space very convenient to my apartment at that time, so that if I changed my mind about anything, I could run to the storage unit and grab it. I ended up making several trips, but I think it was worth it to discover what I used regularly enough to justify moving it with me.
At the week before moving, I recycled what I could, and scheduled a junk removal service to get rid of everything remaining in the storage unit. It was challenging to see all my “stuff” being put in bins to be thrown away, but also felt much lighter afterwards.
All this to say that I know the stress of doing this, and unfortunately it gets harder the longer you stay at one address. It does pass, though, and although I miss some of my old stuff, I have a type of satisfaction knowing that everything I own fits in one carload and I can pretty much move anywhere now. So it’s not all bad.
I realize that due to your physical limitations you have to rely on family, but I imagine that your sons are happy to help. I normally like to help others, especially with physical work, and it feels good when someone asks me. Add that to the fact that you are both very important to your sons’ lives, and I would guess it is quite meaningful.

Feel lonely today. At work even the team lead noticed I wasn't myself. I told her I was just tired. I think I just spend too much time alone. My children are grown and do their own thing. All of my friendships were based around the kids, like other moms. Or when I worked at the club, other girls there. Now I really don't have any one. I try to deal with it as best as I can. Night time and weekends are the hardest.
I know this is wrong but I feel stupid for a teaction i had. They remarked on that I'd eaten more fish than they thought and I took it to mean I over-ate, using up too much food that they wanted as leftovers for tomorrow. And that I'm a glutton. After a run I like a large filet of white fish, so that's what I bought, and ate. Now I feel like I shoiuld ask them to portion out my meal for me. But. I bought it, shouldn't I be able to consume it without comments. I don't know. I don't know what to think when someone comments on how much I eat or what I eat. I'm not overweight, afaik. 139 and 5'8.5.
