as friends of jan we are in a catch 22 too ;->
pushing her hard enough to get on her feet as much as she can without slowing down healing on her foot.
seriously.. the current rules create a real catch 22 for jan. She is no longer eligible for nursing home care once her foot heals enough to no longer require daily dressing changes…
but she still lives up a flight of stairs and no matter how good we are at bring what she needs in.. she still has to negotiate those stairs at least 3 times a week for dialysis whether she gets strength back in her legs or not.
I have looked for solutions but unless a couple of real hunks out there volunteer to carry her up and down those stairs for dialysis three times a week for a week or two …
we need to mobilize any and all resources to getting jan as fit as we can before she has to leave the nursing home.
anyone willing to offer a very gentle calf or shoulder massage?
or show up to chat her way through a round of wheelchair/bed exercises..
or to offer an arm for a jaunt to the hall and back
or ????
We are a very creative community…
give us a problem.. we find solutions
jan is either going to hate me or love me for letting this genie out of the box ;-)
either way, if she makes progress, it’s worth it.
