yep Kittycat, I have been told that to have a goodchance of recovery from DMD Inpatient care should have been given as soon as i was dxd. they recommend inpatient care so you get physio, talking therapy, occupational therapy and nursing care running paralell intensively on a daily basis for many months. trying to cope with the disabilities connected to the condition and the therapies required for recovery whilst still having the normal day to day things of personal care, shopping, cooking, care of home and clothes etc is too much for the person to handle.
they tried community care with me, but after getting myself up and dressed and doing a one hour physio session in my home left me unable to get to bed or even cook a quick meal for supper I was so exhausted. also over here community care is restricted to once a week for 6 weeks rather than every day for many months!
