I can use disposable dishes and a microwave it's again cost that provides that unattainable. If we buy microwaveable food we run out of EBT in less than two weeks vs 3 weeks. I've had pt, and ot my whole childhood until I went to college and some times between that. They won't approve at home pt through my insurance so that's out. I can do pre-cut bagels but I can't put anything like butter or cream cheese on them. I can and do drink smoothies.
I can't get in and out of the shower. I can't lift my leg high enough. Their solution is accessable housing which I've been trying to get for 2 years.
The movable shower chairs I can't use because of the arms. I'm sure my parents would buy a movable shower chair if they could get the money together. I hate asking them for things because I know they're stretched maybe when they sell their RV I'll ask.
No a job won't fix my food issue. It will pay for a PCA to meal prep or a meal kit or microwaveable meals.
I have front top teeth with cavities. The rest are broken. I've already talked to insurance they'll pay for pulls and local anesthesia but that's it. I need to be put to sleep for the procedure.
My medical team won't even pay for a wheelchair because it's not a 24/7 need. I'm on a wait list for a case manager to get a home health aide to help me in and out of the shower, embarrassing.
There are soup kitchens and I would have to use them if my husband or child wasn't around and I'd be able to get meals on wheels but as of right now I don't qualify.
