Hello all, I'm new to the forum. My wife was diagnosed back in 2006 and has slowly been progressing down the path of losing her ability to walk.
I've been doing everything I can to help her. We've installed a stair lift in the house, a handicap accessible shower and recently installed a chair lift outside so she can get outside.
Very recently, she's been having more issues. Her left leg has started becoming more spastic. She's on Baclofen for that, but it doesn't seem to help.
It is to the point now where she has trouble standing and transferring from the bed to her chair and chair to the toilet.
I just don't know what to do now. I work full time and can't stay home to care for her and I ear too much money to have the state help with in-home care for her. her sister is eager and willing to help, but we are at a point how where her mobility is causing issues.
What do I do? Where can I go to get help? I'm so frustrated right now that it is literally bringing me to tears.
Please help.
Thank you,
Craig Brauckmiller
