[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 69688, member: 47"] Thanks for the kind thoughts - I will ask at the next Dr. appointment about the PT and Occupational Therapist (OT)- thankfully my house is only a one story - no steps in the front - only about a three inch riser from the walkway to the porch and another three inch riser to get in the door - my bathrooms are realllly small - I don't know - I think people must have been really thin and short in the 60's cause the tub wasn't made for anyone to sit in that currently lives here - shower is one person size and its a step in. I have had absolutely no success today with suggestions about moving the bed so he can be closer to the bathroom - nor have I had any with the suggestion that he charge the wheelchair and start using it. Dan got upset, said I was nagging - says SO will do this stuff when HE is ready and its obviously not NOW - let him do his thing while he still can. I understand - but am sure you all know its pretty much a GUARANTEE Dan will not be in the vicinity when this 6'3 225 pound man starts to go down and I am the only one standing there - its how my life works.. I have checked out the tubs Janet, thanks for that link - how I would be able to pay for one is the next hurdle - I know Ca may spring for the truck hoist for the wheelchair - that thing weighs a ton, even taken apart. I will check to see if they have any programs available for making a house disability accessable. I know him well enough that putting anything into action is for him a sign of defeat - I am sure I would not be handling it as well as he does - foot surgery in April for a fybroid tumor at the bottom of my foot had me on crutches for a few weeks and I was definately not a pleasant person to be around. Its growing its little twin on my other foot but I have had it with the crutches thing for a little while and right now its the least of my worries. I went out and bought myself a bottle of Kalua today- I am not a drinker by any stretch, but maybe it, along with some warm milk, will help with my 2:30 A.M. woe is me can someone please turn of my head now so I can sleep pity parties. Thanks again for the hints, pointers, links. I never thought of any of his - just too brain dead with the stress I guess. Marcie Marcie [/QUOTE]
