Thank you. I'll check it out tomorrow as its after 10 PM here now and I have to come outside to use data on my phone . I'm not going to a nursing home or rehabilitation home though .

@A MyCOPDTeam Member look in your phone book and see if you have a number for Elder Care. Maybe they can direct you in getting assistance. I was told each state has one. If you are put into the hospital there is a social worker there who can direct you as to who to contact. Also many senior centers have info.
Do you have any food banks in your area? They can be a great resource for food and can definitely help your budget.
