Ever since I had my bad fall three months ago I find it hard to even stand and walk.So I just use my wheelchair.It doesnt help any since I already fell twice using my walker.I tried to get help ya sure at 21 dollars an hour for three days a week.No way I cannot get help from anyone even the4 nurses you have to have permission from your doctor that u can get a nurse that is not happening,it costs me 108.to go to the doctors furthermore I have no use for doctors.Even my own kids wont help me my best friend cleaned a couple of rooms for me,so here I am cleaning using my wheelchair I just cannot stand anymore then a minute the legs start to shake.

Medicare? Medicaid? You clearly need skilled help, including physical therapy (& they can evaluate home modification needs that are covered).

Good advice! Or see about moving to a nursing home? If only for rehab? The city or county or state should be able to help you. You just have to ask for help. You dont want to just fade away!

No suggestions I'm afraid... I just wanted to let you know I read your post. Best wishes...

I use my wheelchair now it isnt ti easy getting around to clean but I am doing it.i have very shaky legs nobody can tell me why.when I fell in the bathroom I was about a half a inch from the toilet I was using my walker I could feel like something a muscle maybe separate from my leg and I went down this is very scare living like this.I am so tempted just to stay on my couch all day,maybe I can make a hole in the middle of the couch so I can pee/well it sure would beat falling down
