I'm in a nursing home, been here since right after Thanksgiving last year and my wife just called me [View all]

We own a mobile home that we bought in 1999 and it is sitting in a mobile home park, trailer park, or as the owners like to call it, a" Sherwood Forest Mobile Home Community, Greenville, Ohio", call it what you will.

Its about 10 miles from the nursing home and she worries about me getting sick. So far feel good. Temp hovering in the 97 degree range with occasional poke into low 98's.

I have a roommate my age (65) and he has stage 4 lung cancer and dementia. We've been together about 3 1/2 weeks now. He hasn't shown any Corona signs of fever yet but to be expected he is coughing alot. (He's also in Hospice care for past 2 weeks).

The nursing home is on shutdown as of 3 days ago. No visitors. Family or friends can drop things off but they have to leave them outside and an aide brings it in. I can visit with her through a closed window.

She just called me while I was watching "The Flintstones" instead of watching TrumpleThinSkin, and told me that park management had left a notice on the door that lot rent was going up by $10 a month. We currently pay $280/mo. Now for the really good news. We can pay that much by signing a lease for the $290/mo. or go month to month for an extra $50.($330 mo.)

These are the same bastards that started charging us for water last year.(another$40/mo.) And a 3/4 months after they installed the water meters, with me in the nursing home, the pipe before the meter busted and since I couldn't fix it, it cost about $300 to fix it. Then a month or so later it started leaking in another place but my wife found a guy that fixed it all with pex tubing for $65. So far no more leaks.

I've since found out that the water company this place contracted the water service too is the same one in Michigan that poisoned Flint, Michigan's water, is one and the same.

And since my wife and I are disabled and on fixed incomes, it could be difficult to move out.

I guess the next thing will be my wife and/or I will get sick.

We can always hope.

Take care all. I'll just wave from over here.
