I was diagnosed oct. 2008 just after turning 55. At that time i was starting to have trouble walking. My right foot was dropping. I started using a cane when out of the house. Now i need a walker. It is still just my legs that are affected.
We live in a beautiful 2 level home and our bedrooms are upstairs. I can still climb the stairs but i want to plan for when i can't climb them anymore. We do not have a main floor bedroom but we could convert our diningroom into a bedroom however the biggest problem is our main floor bathroom is only a sink and toilet. We could add a shower or walk in tub but it will be at least a $25,000 cost. Are there experts in the vancouver area that can re design a house to meet my needs. If we do the reno i want to be sure to think of everything i will need in the future.
Any ideas?
