Still quite a bit, on biscuits, and doesn't look great tbf.
Wish I had a daughter. Does she get on with her uncle? At least you'd be in the same patch.
Where you are now will feel different once she's off lawyering. SHe'll be leaving you, and you'll want her to go - sort of.
Hard.
You could take up your brother's offer for a while, see how it goes and see what you can find. Cheap rent in return for doing a few things for him, not so bad, You could get carer's allowance, but you have to be earning under 204/week net after tax etc. Looked at PIP for yourself? it depends how far you can walk, basically. A lot of people qualify for the lower bands.
If you have 3 legs or something you'd be a shoe-in, as it were...
My brother is in Devon - too far to get to now. He has 2 daughters, both abroad, but he's in frequent contact, with apps like Twitface and Whatsnap or something like that. It's not as small a world as it was.
Canada's no picnic these days, but this place is indeed going to the cats.
Anxiety? Well sorting out my late wife's stuff is doing my head in. Ought to do this, ought to do that...
A shower would be nice but I can't stand long enough. A bit daunting with everything hard and slippery. I use a motorised brush on a stick.
Best of luck! Biggest step you'll ever take, is getting out of a rut, they tell me.
