Hello everyone,

Just a general question today, do you have a carer? If so, who is it? Has them being your carer changed your relationship?

Please comment below and share :)

Hi. I don't have a carer as such, but my husband does a lot. He cooks the meals and does jobs around the house that I can't do. I dont need help with washing/showering or dressing. I had to take ill health retirement in November 2017. It's lovely not being tied to an alarm clock but I do miss the social interaction.

@JosephineO I don’t have a carer. Still seem able to cope. I don’t cook per se just live on microwaveable/oven meals (ones where I can just leave them for time required, where I don’t need to be there to ensure all ok). I’m ok with that. Relatively active too, have gym/swim session once a week, physio fortnightly, and I can still cycle (which I love, just got an e bike pack for my Brompton, which enables me travel further and easier with the electrical assist!!). All fun

I don't have a carer, although my husband does alot for me. He cooks, drives me places, reminds of things I need to do.

@Susiek what is a sliding board? I am barely transferring to scooter to get to bathroom. That sound fun. I’d like to try. I have a caregiver 4 hrs a week for showers and light housekeeping. If I want to keep my med insurance, I don’t qualify for more help and I can’t afford self pay. Ugh

A sliding board is made of wood and shaped like a banana I need help to put it under my hips then I can slide from my wheelchair to bed and back again I am waiting to be checked using it at home although I was using it in hospital it makes you feel a bit more in control!! ❤️
