About who needs care: Recovering from hip femur injury and fractured heel. Wheelchair painful to use. Urinal rinse/dry. Need help getting to kitchen from bedroom. Not sure how much meal prep. If I can do at least my late breakfast, I will. Plant based diet (Im vegan). Oatmeal (microwave 2minutes with my blended protein concoction) plus nuts, seeds, raisins. Rinse utensils. I'm not sure how Ill manage oral hygiene in the bathroom since the wheelchair doesn't fit. Ill use the commode after breakfast. After that I'm not sure how Ill spend my time; hopefully Ill be able to get back to cello practicing, but use of urinals throughout the day and commode at least once is assured. I was prepping my sailboat for painting when I slipped on the trailer fender and crashed my heel. Hip complex was fractured when I was hopping to the toilet for lack of someone to facilitate my using urinals instead of toilet, and I missed the toilet. Afternoon or morning grocery shopping without me in the beginning. Evening basically the same, but includes preparing/steaming fresh veggies or maybe salad. I prepare (did) my grains and beans for 5-8 days of meals, requiring only heating in microwave, adding some flax seed oil, nutritional yeast, sauce, or whatever. Spaghetti is popular here once a week or so, and now and then a frozen plant based entree. I hope I can be on my own after my late breakfast. If not I will become more independent as time goes by. Buying groceries can be done without me. Finish up some days in the tub, where I might need assistance getting in/out, then heating dinner, brushing my teeth somehow from a chair, followed by maybe computer correspondence or movie or reading. Help getting to bed via wheelchair via my deck, sleep. That's my day, more or less, until I can make it the 52 steps to the street, where I might want to be driven somewhere for shopping, or doctor appointments, etc. if its not too painful. About the care needs: Strength to really support me if needed. There wont be any heavy metal, rap, etc. in the apartment. I'm open to music other than classical, which I usually turn off because I'm dissatisfied with the performance. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
