About who needs care: I currently have a shattered top of my humerus, I am presently in a sling. I also have injured tailbone & wounds in my bottom area that are very painful. I am a larger gal & I need help with one arm getting up out of my recliner as well as assistance getting my pants down & up in the bathroom, along with wiping. Need help showering. I also need help making simple meals like scrambled eggs in the morning, bringing me food thats heated in the microwave, filling up water, making tea/coffee in the kitchen. My hobbies prior to my injuries were cross stitch and other crafts! I love watching movies & TV programs like NCIS, Tracker, Hallmark anything, as well as HGTV etc. I enjoy playing board games, being crafty with different projects. My ideal day would be coverage during the time my husband is at work, helping me with breakfast of scrambled eggs & coffee. Helping me to the bathroom & wiping assistance, then getting me back settled in my recliner, as needed. Possibly working on some small household cleaning & organization projects. Help opening up medicine bottles - that I am unable to open one handed. I would also possibly help getting a shower. And potentially prepping some meals or running errands to get those groceries. Mostly just being here until around 5 p.m. when my husband gets home. About the care needs: The BIGGEST factor is a caregiver who is NOT a smoker, does NOT WEAR perfume, cologne, scented lotions or soap. I am very allergic and cannot be around this kind of person, it triggers migraines & causes my throat to close. They need to be able to help with assisting me in getting up, to a standing position & making sure I am steady on my feet before going to the bathroom. Help getting my pants down, wiping me when I am done. A person who is detail oriented, because I have some specific needs as far as set up of cushions & things for my tailbone & broken shoulder needs. A person who is kind & tenderhearted. Also, if they are outgoing & like to chat, would be nice. At the moment, I am not currently recovering from surgery, but surgery has not been completely ruled out either. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
