Congestive heart failure fatigue...

Post Reply New Topic

...is , IIRC , the name that was given to my condition , where I end up having to rest against walls/pillars after a short walk and carrying a bag .
It's a far worse problem than my foot wounds .
I got out of the hospital after two-plus weeks yesterday , 23-ish hours a day lying down had not made me any less walking tired . It could lead to some osort of SRO roo9m , but it's not now . Now , I am in a different dark , murky , shelter situation .
Now , remember , my medical situation had been presented to me by a doctor as a possibility of me dying in less than a year existing My kidneys , etc.
Thatmoney depleted from me during my period in the Polk Sreet shelter , hundrds and hundreds of dollars gone , also hurt me two .
I never really had a (non-Internet) " Aspie life "/social life .

When did they say you might get into an SRO?

..." Could happen/" we're trying " - I suppose present circumstances woul make acceptance of it nesseacary , to hopefully recover ................What a wonderful life ...

At least when you get an SRO, you won't have to deal with the shelter authorities. You could lock your door. You'll have your own room. It'll be better for you.

I guess they've given you diuretics for the congestive heart failure?

...Yeah , but I haven't gotten the pills yet , they sort of want me to stop by the workers' (HOT Team ~ Homelessness Outreach Team) offices , I'd like them maybe to bring it to me .
I have just these scanty shorts , I need to drag myself to Taget to get something ~ When I came toSan Francisco I wanted to be part of " coo " things in San Francisco ~ Now I'm SO MUCH older & sicker , what is " cool " has moved on , what's left that I might like ~ How can I afford it ? And my health .

...I'm sort of pleading for some Meals On Wheels situation , of a microwave and refrigerator and a daily delivery of three meals , to be able to eat them inside and not go out . Pathetic . ` ?

...Last night I was in the present shelter (not the Polk Street one) for hours , having to stay there for some counselor type who visited me at 12:30 PM - After that , I'd been inside for so long I had a eyes-overly-exposed-to-darkness and in overly bright light situation for a while , and stll was tired as I went out carrying nothing - I did get some needed stuff , but I also went pretty manic with junk food and sugar/carbonation , I will admit ~ On a ceertain level it does help me pull myself together .
Now what ???????????

...The last two?? days I meant to go to this library , anyway , but I ended up junk-fooding out , spending money I probably shouldn'tve .
It is rather my nature to plod along ,but I don't know that that is the best way is fighting back/regaining health in congestive heart failure .
I was , again , periodically stopping , to rest - while walking the light up the hill to the library from the present (Howard Street) shelter - Once again , someone , as I leaned for rest , asked me if I needed help .
