Waiting for the eye gaze approval is getting troublesome. My one regret may be we didn't look for a used one months ago. He struggles so much with the dictation software and I am so tired of hearing him yell at it and say click, click, click over and over again.
He just wants to send emails to communicate with people and to read/listen to some news or listen to some sci-fi books.
His needs really aren't that complicated.
Also he is sometimes not having the caregiver wash him, because it tires him to take his jersey off. Tonight I ordered hospital gowns for him to wear over his pants. Does anyone have any other suggestions for what he should wear. I might have to make my own gowns for him. The patterns on these gowns are really bad in my opinion!
The caretaker does dishes, mops the floor and folds laundry, and I appreciate this, but when I discover PALS has not been washed from the waist up (I do the waist down) I get so frustrated.
I started looking at a break away at the beach for October 2023. It would give me something to look forward to, but between the risk of COVID and not knowing how long he will need care, I don't dare put down the deposit.
