[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 178557"] Thank you for the support, ladies. My mom came up yesterday and made several meals. She's amazing. She made about 6 meals in the time it would have taken me to make one. So, we have plenty of main courses in the fridge and I can just make some veggies or a salad to go with them. She did find a shower stool at walmart and I used it yesterday. It was awkward because I'm not used to it, but it was easier than standing and I had enough energy after to come out my hair so it definitely helps. I thought my shower hose thingie had a water saver on it, but it doesn't. I may change it out for one that does because I waste a lot of water showering that way. The soap dish in my shower is ceramic with a little handle like thing at the top that is cemented to the tile so it works well as a handle to get up. LOL (I use liquid soap so the soap dish isn't used so it doesn't get slippery.) Wynter and I talked last night and she is very receptive to learning how to do laundry. We will start with just hers and I will supervise. It will take a lot of repetition, but she'll get it. I have also noticed that she is becoming more receptive to helping - especially if I can do something - even if it's just a little. She woke me up last night because there was a bug on her bed (more phobic than me) and she had to help me get out of bed. She kept apologizing over and over and I told her I wasn't upset...that it was ok. I was supposed to have a neurologist appointment this morning and I couldn't get up. My son tried repeatedly to get me up and I guess I wasn't even coherent. He called them and they told him the next available appointment is Jan 30. I know they have appointments sooner, but, oh, well. He really hasn't done much anyway. I'm less than impressed with him. I have to have bloodwork done next week to check electrolytes because of my new blood pressure medication. I think I'm going to ask them to check for any vitamin deficiencies...just for peace of mind. [/QUOTE]
