October—November
Most noticeable at this
time is the frightening acceleration of muscles weakening in shoulders, and
finer manipulation of fingers.
December
To let readers realise the
extent of weakening disabilities:-
I now have to make two attempts (with good
rest in between) at shaving, because muscles too weak to hold electric razor up
for the 6mins needed.
I find it difficult now for fingers to break paracetamol
caplet in half and find free standing now without some sort of support a problem
(this will end my independence in so many ways, especially whilst
dressing.)
Transferring from manual chair to electric chair, the feet can get as
if welded to the floor, but at least I can get Jean to use the roto turner for
this procedure.
Finally, the trusty right arm, which served me well since
diagnosed, is almost similar to my left now virtually useless if away from the
body for any distance!
Regarding
information for carers in July. I like to think I’ve maintained the same level
of independence in December. This has only happened through dogged perseverance
and a few attempts at some particular tasks whilst dressing. (This may be wishful
thinking, Jean would have the honest answer)
