'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I hate feeling guilty for wanting a house that is accessible and won't cause me physical pain to maneuver around in.
Dear sj, please try not to feel bad about wanting a house that fits your needs. You deserve to have a house that works for you, not a house you have to work around.
Oh, sj, hon, I know it's a long and frustrating search, but wanting your own home to be accessible and painless is NOT diamond shoes, and you are NOT being annoying about it. Ever.
Thanks, guys. My self loathing levels are very high today. It's probably being made worse by PMS.
Totally not ridiculous or annoying to want a house that doesn't cause you pain!!
Absolutely what they all said, sj! It's out there, and you will find it.
It's not like someone is giving you the house. It's your money. No sense investing in something that's bad for you.
We relaxed the criteria a little to include split level entry.
If it were me, I'd stick with a ranch. You have to go up and down stairs all the time in a split level. My knees would revolt. It's not your job to make the realtor happy, and if he/she doesn't come up with what you need, you can fire her.

The idea is to find a split level where everything I need is on the first floor: all the bedrooms, the bathroom, the kitchen, the living room, and the laundry. While downstairs, is an extra room for entertaining, TCG's office, and storage. So, other than going in and out of the house, I wouldn't have to do the stairs at all.
It's a reasonable idea, sj, but it would be ideal to find something where the entire house is accessible to you. It may be a longer search, but I really believe it will be worthwhile to find something that works entirely for you.

I figure I'm at least compromising by looking at other houses. It doesn't mean I have to agree to anything I'm not comfortable with; I'm fairly stubborn, so that's not going to happen. And we were already looking at ranches with finished basements so that TCG could have an office downstairs, so it's really not much different. Both TCG and I start to get nervous when there is nothing new to look at, so this keeps us moving and active.
