I suppose this is a trivial request compared to what some of you are going through, but what activities have you found that you can with MND.
My wife and I used to cycle, walk and swim, something that I cannot do anymore.
Because my arms are useless, my hands have limited use and my legs are wobbly, I am limited as to what we can do as a couple. I end up "tagging" along with her when she visits her dad to clean his house once a week, or getting pushed around a park in my wheelchair. Otherwise I/we sit and watch her TV programmes during the day and evening. It is soul destroying when she plays games for hours on her ipad at the same time as hogging the remote.
I would like to suggest to her that we do something together (god forbid), but I need ideas.
We tried jigsaws which lasted about a week due to the difficulty for me picking up pieces, as I would often drag the pieces rather than lift and place.
Ideas welcome, thank you.
