2 years ago, I was independent; a nurse. Today, I am pathetic. I get it.

You do a lot! You work and care for your family! It's understandable that you have some down days
Velkyn,

I gave up trying to take a tub (I needed help to get in and out) or stand (the pain was unbearable) in the shower. I have a shower chair wedged in the tub so I can sit while I shower. The chair also allows me to get in and out of the tub without help from my husband. We have been married for over 40 years, but it was still mortifying to need his help.
