Shelly, no, I doubt that Sylvia could live here alone - and before I came, Queensland Health were unhappy about it, saying she should go into care if she doesn't have a carer living here.
It was heading towards a court case, because she's independently-minded, and was refusing to budge.
I can see their point, because if Sylvia had become injured or died while she was alone, and it turned-out that QH knew about her situation, all hell would've broken lose, perhaps people there losing their careers - western nations are becoming nanny-states more and more these days.
The court case to put her into care would've involved doctors, psychiatrists, lawyers - in other words, expensive.
That's when I stepped in and said I'd park my motorhome on her property, and help her with mowing her 5 acres, and some other stuff (bearing in mind that I'm 75 myself).
Anyway, it's quieted the baying wolves in Qld Health, and as well as the motorhome, I have the spare bedroom in the house.

My hand is healing, though not totally healed. For instance, I used to be able to lift and pour from a smallish pail, one-handed, including twisting my wrist and my hand. But these days I need to use both hands to do that. It's definitely healing though, and I'm confident it will get back to normal.

Shelly, my antennae twitched when you said you're on medication for acid reflux: After my last endoscopy, they said they'd found Barrets Esophagus, which is a pre-cancerous lesion in the espohagus caused by bile. I'd never felt any burning or other sensation before, but as it can lead to esophageal cancer, they've put me on medication to stop the reflux. It's called Pantoprazole. Is that what you take?
