Hi I'm interested to hear if anyone has ideas/experience of my situation today. I'm not well, I'm sure it's nothing in anyway serious, and I will no doubt be ok again soon. I've been conscious for the last couple of years that if I was to become unwell I would need some help. I use a wheelchair out of the house, but am fully independent and live alone. Which is usually fine. But today has made it clear I'm not ok if I'm unwell - luckily my fab cleaner comes on a Monday so I decided to have a shower while she was here, and managed but only just. A friend is popping in later, so all will be well. But it's made me realise again it wouldn't need me to be very unwell before I needed some help to do basic things like get washed and get a drink. Does anyone know if it's possible to get emergency temporary help in this sort of situation?
I'm very conscious writing this that the situation I describe today is really not that bad. I reckon I've got a female strain of man flu virus!! I'm also lucky in that it's unusual for me to be unwell at the moment.
Any thoughts appreciated
