Just checking in.

Hello all,

I have just been through 1 month of home modifications. It was a lot

like childbirth - you really doubt it will ever be over - but when it

is you are thrilled and all the pain is forgotten. I then caught a

flu like virus which made me very weak, but I am getting better.

I had just bought a 2 storey townhouse 8 years ago when the

symptoms of PLS slowly started. Since I can no longer go upstairs, I

had to add everything I need downtairs - accessible bathroom and

built-in wardrobe under stairs etc.

This means my adult son who lives with me can make upstairs his

private domain - so it has worked out quite well for both of us.

Although I am very independent (I have my own carers coming in) it is

comforting to have him coming and going, and living here.

As i am in a wheelchair, I am investigating an automatic door opener

for my front door. Does anyone know anything about these. It would

make life much easier for me. I use every gadget I can find to give

me the illusion of independence. Thank goodness for modern

technology.

Blessings to all

Keep well
