Parents of LION just moved into an assisted living place. It is not a nursing home, but is a cross between apartments and a nursing home. for $5500 a month they get a large room with a handicapped accessable bath room, room for bed, furnature and an alcove. Very Nice. Meals are included with this price, so is heat and air condidioning, electricty, telephone, cable TV, and internet. Also included is an exercise room and daily room cleaning. The recent sale of thier house will keep them here for a good five or six years or more, but then they are already 91 years old.
Because dad is a war veteran there is just over $2000 a month in veteran benefits. (Such benefits apply to WW-II, Korea, and Vietnam vets. I believe you are a Vietnam vet, is this not so?
For a single person this home would offer the same suite and services for $3500, but the vetweran benefit would only be in the neighborhood of 1700 or 1800 per month.
LION thinks this is worth looking into. The room his parents has is much bigger than your trailer, it has no steps, it has round the clock assistance, and room for a train layout and a computer lab.
LION thinks you owe it to yourself to look into assisted living in your area. Him thinks you are worth it!

Dusty Solo Jeffrey. Major medical procedures are hell on Earth to have to endure. But it's also all that other stuff you also have to endure as after effects, that's the real devil in it all.

Jeff has a remarkable ability to keep a positive attitude in spite of tough problems, but this may be very difficult. i am sure he will appreciate your words of encouragement if you post them here or contact him directly.

I have posted what Jeffrey's younger sister sent me in the Elliot's diner thread. SHe has since posted here in this old thread.
I have lit a candle for Jeffrey.
Healing energies go out to him that he may only be dealt what he can deal with right now.

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Saw this again, and hope things are progressing as well as possible. God be with you as you progress.

Thanks to all those keeping us informed.
Good luck,

I never met you, Jeff, but it's obvious that you have lots and lots of friends. People don't get friends if they don't deserve them, so it's clear that you're one of the very good guys.
My very best wishes to you for a speedy and uneventful recovery.

I hope you get well soon, Jeff.

Jeff passed away this morning.
We have lost a true friend.
25,640 post is the final count for this tough guy. He welcomed me with lots of help when I signed on and I will miss his presence on the forum. I wish there were some rafters here on the forum, we could retire his jersey and hang it up high. He won't soon be forgotten.

Goodbye Jeff, I will miss you, we will all miss you.
Happy Trails Running Bear, (Jeff)
You will not be forgotten. You have been part of my life for 8 years.
Johnboy.
Praise God. Jeffrey is in a better place now. Our Prayers are with his family and friends.
I can't remember if it was this Forum or the ATLAS Forum when Space Mouse figured out Jeff needed a new digital camera. That led to Jeffrey posting many photos on both Forums.
That had to be 15 years ago or more. It has been a long time.
I spoke with Jeff when he was in hospital briefly one time for each time he had an amputation. Now, I wish I had talked with him more.
I was certainly impressed with his positive mental attitude. He was never about to give up, and believed strongly in his ability to solve his problems.
As we remember Jeff Running Bear, let us be thankful for his postive spirit he shared with Forum members.
I spoke briefly with Jeff's Dad on the phone last year and again a few months ago. I could tell his father is a good man. .... So, to Jeff's Dad, step mother, sister, and other family members, you have my sincere condolences.

I am sad to hear of Jeffreys passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family in this time of need.
Jeff was always friendly and helpful. I admired and appreciated his military service. Always had the best "can do" attitude and was keen in the ways to being a "fix it" man.
He leaves many friends here.
God bless you Jeffrey

Over inthe Diner thread, I am known as the "keeper of the flame", and I have:
I have posted 5 lighted candles:
1} for the "light of his life"
2} for the "light he brought to others", no matter how low things got for him,
3} for the "light to light his way" from now on where ever he may be
4} for the "light his family will need in these, the darkest of days" for them regarding him
and 5}, for the "Light he would want US to have in his memory".
Rest in peace Jeff.

Jeff was one of the best moderators we ever had on this forum. Always fair and patient.
He gave advice to so many less knowledgeable modelers it will be a great loss to this forum for a long time.
Rest in peace Jeff
