Hubby getting worse
Hello again,
There are a few things I wanted to ask.
Does anyone know of a place we could purchase a wheelchair for hubby? He is 6'2" and we are having difficulty finding one for his size. Ableworld say they don't have anything big enough for him. I have looked on the internet and it is like a minefield.
He had a fall on Sunday and hurt his knee and has been using 2 walking sticks instead of the usual one or none and has lost all confidence. He is due to go for a hospital appointment on Monday for a ventilator trial as a day case and will not be able to walk from the car to the appointment and we could do with getting a wheelchair asap.
His MND progress is alarming at the moment and he is finding it difficult to cope with the fact that he can't do things for himself like he used to. It is very frustrating for him and I find it so hard to watch.
All in all it is getting more and more difficult as time goes on and this is only 2 1/2 months after diagnosis.
Just wanted some contact really.....I know it isn't happening to me, but I feel a little alone in coping, as children a fair distance away and feel unable to ask them for help.
