About who needs care: I have Multiple Sclerosis. My days vary. When I get ill my mobility and self care worsens. I walk minimally with a cane in my home but use wheelchair outside my home. I currently can cook and do dishes from an office chair. My husband has back problems so he can't always assist me. I am very sedentary. When weather is nice I go outside to get in my wheelchair. I watch TV alot. I want to get my house organized so I can do some renovation. My standard day is getting out of bed around noon. Go to kitchen to make a meal for both myself and husband. I will stay in there to do dishes, organize, desk-computer work, laundry, make snacks to take to front room for evening. I dont usually return to kitchen as my strength weakens by evening. I walk to bathroom, I can't dress or undress unless sitting down , usually on my toilet. I change and do personal hygiene then walk to bedroom. We are night owls. Sleep in separate rooms.
