A few years ago I had a seizure that was followed by a botched surgery, severely impacted mobility, another surgery to correct it a year later, and, even though they said I may not walk again, I have, but the "remodel" that occurred while I was in the hospital has shifted my life entirely.
There is a journey that was put into motion from a bad doctor, but the hell I live with and in has been prolonged by a contractor who took advantage of my grandmother (the property owner) and myself; I was not here to see what the heck was going on, but I came out of surgery and found my home destroyed, no way for me to get around in my wheelchair, and no handicap devices the bathroom- I had asked for the floor to be repaired and the shower door for safety-
My bed, clothing (and I worked as a fashion stylist formerly so my collection paid th bills) were ruined- my furniture- but lets go on- the plumbing, the walls ripped out, the floors- no underlayment, a bath fan that is not connected, and the insects- oh, and the shifting of my home- and the laundry and the insects!!!!! And now, there is a white something or other on the beams, in my hair, on the surface of everything. The wiring is side by side with the plumbing- some new, some old; The house is always damp or wet.
I joined this forum because it was not just my home that has been compromised, to say the least, by random breakouts of mosquitos in the dead of winter or fleas or feeling sick all the time-; I really had to change a lot of gears physically, mentally, and after not being able to walk, losing my business in order to redo er from that, I have had relationships affected, my general demeanor is so unhappy and all because I am so tired all the time from trying to fix this place that is sucking the life out of me. I am not in a position to move- not yet, and I do not know where to begin in order to just make my household run little easier, and not feel like my life is over.
