About who needs care: I have epilepsy requiring many medications a day and not able to be fully controlled. I have a drop right foot resulting in partial paralysis on my right foot and leg. I have neuropathy in both my feet and lowered legs as well as my hands I have arthritis in my right side I also have left side weakness. As well as hypoglycemia and extreme food allergies and intolerances. All of this makes my days quite difficult as I am unable to be very mobile, need bedside commode assistance walking, meal prep and general help overall with things like making appointments and remembering details. I'm alone for approximately 12 to 14 hours a day usually four to five times a week and sometimes more than that. So care is quite challenging. I enjoy crafting but it's become very challenging to do it on my own. It would be good for me emotionally to be able to do things like that but it would be more enjoyable if I had someone to do it with. My younger sister visits me up to 6 times a month when she will bring in some groceries that I might have delivered or eat lunch with me or things like that. About the care needs: I need someone very patient. I sometimes have difficulty communicating. It can be frustrating for both myself and whomever I try to communicate with. So, someone willing to patiently and kindly listen is important. Someone with some experience in preparing food and following directions or guidelines regarding my dietary needs. If it were possible both by Medicaid/ Medicare/ Disability social security or personal finances I would be in a Skill nursing long term care facility. At this point I am Medicaid pending with bcbskc. I have no work to collect SS from and never collected disability, though I am. Though I have no idea how we can pay for it with all of my needs and medical costs, I feel it necessary to check into these things. My family cannot care for me.
