hi all its been awhile since u have seen a post from me. Very busy I have been. For those of you that dont know me here is a quick update.
I am a caregiver. My Dad is 65 years old and has had the death sentence disease for about 1 year now. Every day is different at this stage. Until today he was housebound for 20 days because he could not do stairs anymore. We built a ramp over the weekend just in time for the phone call that my Moms mom my grandma died today. So here we are a ramp and not sure how it would work. We brought in the wheel chair because walking wears him out so much. He was not very happy that we had to use it of course because he is so stubborn. The wheel chair and ramp was great until we went to get him in the car. What a pain that was. OH and of course all his equipment to manage at home still had to be taken also. All I know is they need a larger car to fit everything. well I am a mess right now so I guess I better go. I think this will be a long week ahead.
hope all of you are better than me right now!
Bye Heather
