Medical care
Hey all
Long story short I was taken into the ICU not too long ago as I was unable to breathe on my own.
I’m 194cm tall at 117kg and gym frequently. I am not fat by any means however I am struggling to take care of myself.
Examples
Showering I cannot wash everywhere due to extreme mobility issues (skin is now getting infected in some spots due to excessive sweat)
Getting dressed is a struggle
Tying shoes is mission impossible
On paper it sounds like I’m morbidly obese but I’m far from it
I’m starting to do mobility training to help but I cannot look after myself alone and I do struggle to breathe when I sleep
My question is what do I do?
Do I hire a care worker ?
Is that even an option for me ?
I’m 21 this year
