A minor technical issue: In order to provide Internet access to my website, I had to connect one of my computers with the cable which you made for me, and thereby to disconnect the TP-LINK_55AO access point on which the surveillance images from the 2nd floor School Street Room and from the Oil tank depended. These images can be restored either: a)by your reprogramming the cameras to rely TP-LINK_OA58 or TP-LINK_A232 b) replacing TP-LINK_A232 in the basement kitchen with the presently unused TP-LINK_55AO, or c) by your finding, and my connecting an unused LAN Switch which I believe to be lying on the table in the basement kitchen. This is obviously a trivial, readily soluble issue.

A non-technical issue, which may or may not be trivial or contrived, is whether now is the time for me to issue the declaration: "I cannot walk," as did Mommy so suddenly, memorably and conclusively at about 11 p.m. on June 24, 2015. By contrast to the difficulty of an hypothetical decision, "I cannot walk,"  at this time, my decision about three months ago, no longer to try to climb or descend stairs was easy, because I had the second floor where to sleep and write, and Nathaniel was willing to bring me food. But today I have no idea what I would do, or what would be done to me, if I claimed I could no longer get up to urinate or to defecate. An alternative perspective: If one has decided to let events take their course, how does one determine when they in effect have done so.  Wenn man entschlossen ist, etwas auf sich zukommen zu lassen, wie bestimmt man den Augenblick wenn dies Etwas tatsächlich auf einen zugekommen ist. 

My present situation is as follows: To get into bed, I stand, encased and supported by the walker at the edge of the bed. I then grap the walker and lean back until I lose control and fall onto the mattress.  I try to swing my legs onto the mattress by grasping the blankets on the bed with my right hand. Sometimes this maneuvre requires several attempts. As of today they have always been successful.  Once in bed, there are only two positions I am orthopedically able to assume, a) on my back, with a pillow supporting my left leg, or b) turned half-way to the left, with the pillow between my knees, supporting my right leg. Each of these positions is comfortable for only five or ten minutes, after which one or both legs become painful, and I resort to the opposite position. When I am not tired, or when I am somehow agitated, I continue to toss and turn in this manner for many hours. Otherwise, I fall asleep after the first few cycles, and then sleep soundly. I awaken not from pain, but from the urge to urinate.

To get up out of bed, I swing my legs over its edge, position the walker around my knees, place my feet on the floor as widely separated as possible, grasp and press down the walker's tranverse bar, and then pushing against the mattress with my left arm, raise myself into an upright position, transiently imbalanced, until I manage to support myself with my arms by leaning on the walker. As soon as I am upright, I feel significant pain in both thighs and legs, left more than right, pain which fluctuates with each step. Usually at every third, fourth or fifth step, the pain in the left thigh become more pronounced, and the left leg then "gives way", and I keep from falling by leaning on the walker. Under these circumstances walking is so difficult and uncomfortable that I limit my trips to the bathroom and to the room on the School Street side, as much as possible. But I am able to sit at the table comfortably for long periods of time.

My question: What, if anything, should I do now in order to prevent
what would be worse? Um schlimmeres zu verhüten?
