need some help please. I am at the stage where speech is going--tired at end of day. I am gagging more, (still able to cough). I am confined to wheelchair. I need assistance with bathroom and turning over at night.
My questions are--What do others do about going out? My daughter can't drive our van so can't run errands or shop with her. I'm terrified I will start gagging/coughing in public. I hate the way people look at me. I am very shy and therefore don't go out. Missing out on teens events. How do others handle this?
Also, what about vacations without me? Who do you get to stay with you? To care for you overnight? My parents come to visit but are too old to help transfer me.
Thanks for any ideas
