About who needs care: I'm diabetic type 2. I have medications that I take because I don't need any help with that. Both feet have been amputated. I can get around in a wheelchair and I'm starting to work with prosthetic limbs. I have arthritis in my shoulders which makes it difficult to get in a wheelchair sometimes and I have a shower/toilet wheelchair which is taller than that regular wheelchair and I sometimes need assistance to get into the wheelchair. I have a washer and dryer and I need assistance in putting laundry in and drying it. And taking it out and putting it away. I sometimes have to use urine bottles because I can't always make it to the toilet or I don't want to try to make it to the toilet because it's hard to do, I don't have many accidents but sometimes the pea battles will spill and they have to be cleaned out and dried so I can have them before I can get to them. My dishes just need to get organized so that everything is on a lower shelf so I can have clean utensils and plates and cups to use. My home is not very vague and it doesn't require any heavy cleaning. A little sweeping and mopping and gathering trash. It's mainly keeping my room clean so that I'm in a good environment. Occupational therapy will be coming to help me work on my prosthetic getting up and walking. The home side probably won't need to help me with that. The main problem for me is not being able to do the therapy that I need to do while having to try to keep my house clean. Keep myself clean and dealing with daily daily things that I need to do in order to heal. No working on trying to get me an aid that can get paid by my insurance company but I need someone dependable, considerate, and who actually wants to help me with daily situations that only serve to impede my progress. I will be patient, understanding, and empathetic. I'm used to people depending on me but since I lost my legs all I can try to do is keep my head above water. I've always been a very kind and patient individual but dealing with the kind of people I've been talking about has made it very difficult to continue to be that way I was raised to respectful of other people, especially when they're trying to help me. But I've had some bad experiences with people who's only concern is that they get paid and they get out of their their work area as soon as possible. I've had two different organizations and they was like two people in each organization that actually did their job and I actually tried to help. I have enough problems dealing with my situation that I can't tolerate of being mistreated. What's some of the therapy? People don't understand is that unless you can get your daily needs taken care of, it's pretty hard to even try to do therapy. I told the current company that's working with me and that if they can't get me an aid then I will have to find another organization that will or I will just have to figure out how to deal with it. Losing my legs is then the absolute worst thing that's ever happened to me and turn my world upside down and I'm trying to get it right side up again but I can't unless I get some help. About the care needs: I need someone that's not experienced in helping people bathe and that will help me watch where it is difficult for me to get to like my back and my hair
