90DF Live Chat 3: I Gave Up Everything To Be Here

Hi everyone, popping in early so I can type out my tale of woe. Friday was the closing for the transfer of my coop apartment from my mom to me (I have lived here 30+ years!). A good thing, but a monthslong, stressful, complicated process, and in the short term, I’m poorer. Anyway, just as I was about to leave for my car service to the coop attorney’s office in downtown Manhattan (I am in Brooklyn), I found the elevator was not working.

So I had to walk down six long flights of stairs. Because of various injuries, plus stairs phobia, I haven’t taken stairs in years. And my legs are still weak from a pelvis bone break and not enough walking and exercise. So now my thighs are killing me. And the elevator, which worked intermittently on Friday, so I could take it upstairs when I returned, is now well and truly out. In fact, a resident got caught in between floors and had to get out via a ladder!

We may find out tomorrow how long the elevator will be out, because it looks like it has serious problems. Meanwhile, I have kept postponing my grocery delivery (they won’t walk up to the sixth floor), and I have to send postclosing coop tax forms via Fedex, and I have an ultrasound for Tuesday … and my legs are too wobbly, at least for now, to try the stairs anytime soon …

And my almost 92 year old mom in Michigan just got Covid! I need snark and hugs, my friends!

 

I am sorry. I hope we can make you laugh tonight….sending love and positive vibes
