I think I have reached the point of progression where I am chronically depressed. My legs are useless and I can't raise my right arm very high. I need help getting in and out of bed and off the toilet, and need bathing assistance. I can't turn in bed without the hospital bed rails which means I cannot sleep comfortably anywhere but home. My butt is chronically sore with the threat of pressure sores and simply repositioning is a struggle. I'm getting home health care, but this can end if skilled services are no longer approved. We are whittling away our savings for van, ramp, and now big bathroom remodeling project.
My wife works out of the home and one son lives with us working on the phone and computer for his job. I feel guilty asking them for the littlest of things and my wife is very tired working all day and then dealing with my needs.
One can spend only so much time on the Internet or watching TV. My relatives do not live close so visits are sporatic.
Just venting....but can anyone identify?
