In earlier post you mentioned you are struggling to shower and clean home.
Your support nurse could refer you to an occupational therapist to see if things like gab rails can be helpful in your shower.
Also there is help with essential cleaning.
Maybe you could mention that on next support nurse visit?

There are people scheduled to visit in the next few weeks.
The hardest part of showering is my hair but this morning I put shampoo on at the sink before getting in the shower and that was a little easier. I am learning technics with towels too to dry my back and have to wait an hour before fighting with my socks.
I do find that it is all very fatiguing but I see it as an exercise workout.

Hi Keno,
totally agree to maintain independence while safe to do so.However itโs good to do your research in advance and for example know who could arrange help if and when needed and keep record of phone numbers.
Lots of people live alone who have MND but gradually need help with personal care etc.
Hope you have a support network around you .
Maybe useful to write a list of questions for next time support nurse visits ?Hope you have a lifeline, key safe and benefits such as attendance allowance sorted out.
The members on this forum are here to help.
Best wishes
Mary

All my life has been dedicated to being independent, right or wrong that is who I am and I will fight for the right to be me to the death if necessary.
I still manage a walk but down to once a day (when i can get my coat on) and I still do my own meals although deadly with a kitchen knife so do get the Worcester farm foods in.
Being able to achieve things does help my mental health a great deal.

It's the thing |I struggle with now the weather is cold. Also dreading winter vests as I am still in teeshirts.
I had a huge problem fastening the top button on my jeans but found a device that helps with that.
I go for a pub meal on a Thursday evening with my brother so by the time I have showered and got dressed I am shattered. I also get embarrassed having to eat with a fork while supporting my wrist with the other hand.
