need your help - How to cope with "issues" ?
Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2009 8:44 am
I originally posted this in the General Discussion, i guess it belongs here
To make a long story short, my wife has had MS for at least 13 years. She has suffered through many exacerbations and resulting solumedrol treatments. As her neuro says "She is a very sick woman with a great many lesions".
My problem is that she is currently in the condition of needing care for all her personal hygeine issues. I need to know if there is any tricks or methods that I could use to overcome becoming repulsed and sometimes physically sick when trying to help her with these "issues".
Right now she is staying at her Sister's and she is careing for her. But she cannot continue to do this forever and I want to be able to do this for my wife.
I'm assuming that others on this Forum must have had to deal with this, and I'm hoping that you could share any information and ideas with me.
it has taken a while for me to get to the point of posting this request. Please don't think your comments or info is too simple or stupid or anything else, just post it, it might be just the thing I need.
Thanks,
