Back to EpisodesWinning Small Battles: Showers, School Plans, and Saying Goodbye to Extra Caregivers
Description
I'm finally moving in a positive direction with my recovery after breaking my hip in July and can transition from two caregivers down to just one starting next week.
• Struggled with having multiple caregivers in my home when I prefer one-on-one care
• Experienced frustrations at a five-star rated rehab facility that didn't understand how to work with my CP
• Making slow but steady progress with in-home PT, recently celebrated taking a shower independently
• Starting school in October after pushing back the date to allow more recovery time
• Using a specialized splint as part of my rehabilitation process
• Looking forward to Arizona's winter weather after the intense summer heat
• Planning to record solo podcast episodes while my co-host is on a Disney cruise
If you're going through recovery, remember that slow and steady wins the race, and it's important to advocate for the care that works best for your specific needs.
