I can understand completely. Being disabled is in itself enough to have to deal with, but
to try to manage all the frustrations in addition to that can be overwhelming. I'd start
making lists of what I was going to need three days in advance; that ought to speed
things up for you!
You sound perfectly competent to me. I'd invent ways to get things done, such as
making schedules, lists of things to be done in advance; organize your life having
to contact others as little as you can for help. When you're as mentally alert as you
are, you can get a lot of things done with ease.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could order all your prescriptions from one pharmacy which
also has a grocery? You could put all your medications on automatic refill, asking
that they call your daughter when one is ready. If it's a grocery/pharmacy you're
dealing with, you could order your groceries in a similar manner and request that they
contact your daughter for payment, then deliver the items.
Centralizing things helps to organize them. That's really all you might need to do.
There's a little paperback published by Hazeldon Foundation called "Keep It Simple".
I rely on that often when I get frustrated.
Here's hoping you'll like your independence and home much better after you get
the snags cleared away.
Good wishes.
