I have waiting since July 2019 for a back operation.   I can not walk without holding on to a walker. I can not let go for more than 1 min.  The pain is so bad I scream sometimes. I’m unable to go anywhere out of the house without great pain  and difficulty. I cannot always tell when I have to go to the bathroom and my wife is left to clean it up. She has to do everything and she is 78 and has health problems of her own. She is falling apart and it’s so sad to see.  I have no date as yet for a operation. I am so unhappy and find life not worth living anymore.
