Well, next month my wife will have trigeminal nerve surgery. I'll be responsible for her care and keeping the house going. Because of her illness, I've been doing much of the house support work for the last year (though she may have a different opinion!) But this will be a trial run of what it would be like if she became more permanently disabled.
Most important, we need to hire professional house cleaners to do a thorough monthly cleaning.
For food, I have shopping lists, and will stock up the soft foods. She likes frozen meals.
No lifting, so we need to walk through her routines to make sure things are at waist level.
We have a sleeping chair for required head elevation.
Shower stool and walk in shower.
Dog care supplies and walk schedule (her pup is high maintenance).
I need to simplify my personal work intentions so I can stay nearby.
And we need to walk through all this together so we know what our plans are.
We need to discuss her medication plan. She likes to be in charge, but at worst is too confused. There have been times I've had to take charge and chart the meds.
And what am I forgetting?
