It seems that most of my daily activities require modification to get accomplished, with some severely modified. I have cut my hair from below my waist to near the shoulder just so I can wash and brush by myself. I have changed handles in the house to levers. I struggle to get dressed everyday so regular bras have long since gone out the window. Shirts are button up when possible and pants are drawstring. These are just some of the things I have done since being injured.
But, other things I find nearly impossible. My neck shoulder and arm are pretty useless due to nerve issues. So how do you get things done? I know that you folks have dealt with more for far longer than me so I ask for your advice on daily skills. If you have any suggestions I am open and appreciative. Most trouble comes from: Washing dishes. Loading/unloading dishwasher Loading/unloading washer dryer folding clothes I am trying desperately to remain as independent as possible. I don't have the funds to hire anyone to help and insurance does not cover anything like that. So, anyone? Please? |
