Glad you have good family support, and isn't it great when the son or daughter in law is a good 'un?

Welcome wheel race

These are things that may help you if have not already done so.

Please get your health directive in order,DNR ( yes or no) peg feeding ( yes or no) any and all financial matters dealt with.

Do your research,do ask here,so many knowledge people here with first hand experience.

Try to stay ahead of this disease, meaning that if your low income look for resources that may help with,shower chairs, wheelchair, hospital bed and even a shower and or location of sleeping area if you are in a two level home.

thank you we have adapted the bungalow the specialist said Geoff is not well enough to warrant a peg he thinks its for the carers benefit and not the patient we have been married nearly 56 years so a dnr is difficult thanks for your advice we worked all our life but you don't realise how much costs come with illness do you but his wellbeing will always come first hes staying in his home
