@Brie - Our library has ukelele classes and loans the ukeleles out free. Big class too.
Even her visiting nurse and physical therapist are getting after Di to clean up some of the mess. It doesn't seem to make a dent. Maybe I can make some inroads with the help of roommate J to get a couple of pieces of furniture out from underneath it all and that will help a bit. I understand though as at the moment I can barely clean up my room. Need to see the surgeon soon to see what he says about my back. Maybe there are some steps I cam take to get moving again without the surgery. Knowing my roommates, if I do go in the hospital for surgery and am there for more than one day, I will probably have to have a maid service come in and clean up.
I'd hire the maid service before then to clean up, but not sure I can afford it twice.
