@56pan The VA has been very helpful with assistive devices like cane, shower chair, walker with seat 🙂 and a power chair (light weight and fits in back of our Blazer). Does not hurt to ask your provider if you need something. I use all of the above at differing times. The last few showers I could actually stand again 🙂 Oh how the little things can mean so much 🙂 Lidocaine cream is helpful for the neuropathy. So is Hempvana nerve pain relief. I found using a massager can help the neuropathy but had to stop when I developed blood clots in my right leg. Elevating the legs on a pillow (like "Gerd" pillow) helped some on the night I had chemo.
