I knew it was coming, but I was holding out hope. I’ll be shutting down my cleaning business at the end of the month. After my visit to the VA this morning for severe back pain/spasms, I watched as other veterans very much my senior wobbled into the building or needed to be pushed inside in a wheelchair.
At that point, I came to terms with the fact that I am getting older, and I need to focus on healing my body rather than breaking it down even more. I am keeping a couple of my most beloved clients for basic cleans, but I can’t continue working this way. If we had an appointment, I’ll be in touch with you about bringing you a cleaner I trust who is less broken.
On a lighter note, many thanks to a new but wonderful friend of mine for driving my broken @$$ around town today so I could get some relief. Let this be a lesson to you younger folks. Take care of your body. You won’t always be young (as I repeat what my parents told me years ago that I promptly ignored).
After a couple of pain and steroid shots along with a muscle relaxer, I’m feeling better. I forgot what it was like to not experience pain all the time. I need more of this in my life.
