About who needs care: This first time is to accompany me to a doctors appointment in Tyler. I have memory issues. I just want someone to listen with me and make sure I get it all. It's a regular neurology appointment and date hasn't been set. Awaiting time and date from VA. Approved just waiting to be scheduled. I may need this type of care 2-3 times a year. Or if I get a procedure or injection where I need a drive and can't find one, I may request a driver only to drive me to and from and get a prescription if needed. On house cleaning it hard for me to get around but I manage. Not very well, but I do just enough to make it. I may start getting assistance depending on cost of someone to come do a deep cleaning like mopping, tubs, sinks cleaning under beds etc. about every month or bi-monthly. If affordable, I may do this bi-weekly. I'm disabled Veteran don't work on disability. I've had 3 back surgeries, neck surgery, both hips replaced. Today, back still bothers me with left hip giving out as well as both knees. Waiting to lose weight to have both knees replaced. I have depression, anxiety, some PTSD (some military and some as a child), stutter, carpal tunnel syndrome, I have memory loss due to stroke a few years ago but no physical problems from stroke. Borderline diabetic. Urinary incontinence occasionally but taking medication. I handle my health issue pretty well and stay as optimistic as one can. My hobbies used to be cooking, photography, and outdoors. Today one of my hobbies is niche perfumery. A rare hobby. I didn't pick it, it picked me so to speak. Long story short, I can make name brand fragrances that smell nearly identical to the one purchased at your retail mall stores. Took me 4-5 years to be able to do this. I like international movies probably better than American. Love baseball and college football. Right now, I'm learning very generally speaking--more about art. Tapping into my creative side which we all have. Ten years ago, I would have laughed at you if you said I'd be interested in art or perfume making. We change because of circumstances sometimes. I love learning about different cultures. My bucket list is to travel to England and the UK. I've been to Germany but nowhere else in that region. so what did I contact you for? Just kidding. I'll let you know when the appointment is when I get one. Estimation? NLT March? The cleaning? you let me know what you provide and how much you charge. Any questions, just ask. Thanks, Jerry About the care needs: Diverse, friendly. For the doctors appointment, a good listener is needed and dress casual for the appointment. Cleaning. Just someone to clean. They'll only be needed a couple of hours every time they come to clean. If it's bi-weekly, maybe 2 hours. I just need someone to mop and clean a small kitchen and bathroom, and tidy up either bi-weekly or monthly depending on how much I can afford. I do my laundry okay and bedroom doesn't get dirty really. Living room is not too bad to manage because it doesn't get "used." Cleaning floors is my biggest challenge to keep up with. That and cooking meals but I've managed ways to cook meals that last a few day, so I only end up cooking approximately twice a week. I view the world as everybody's right and wrong; everybody's good and bad. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, and light housekeeping.
