I was originally scheduled for April but that got postponed for COVID of course. Then I had another date scheduled in July but that got postponed again when I broke my small toe in a freak accident at night. (Have installed a night light to avoid a repeat of that.)
I'm trying to get everything as prepared as possible in advance. My wife is 77 so I don't want to put too much on her. In fact, my biggest question is whether we should hire someone to assist her. Hopefully she'll just need to drive me to and from surgery. I don't expect to need a lot of help but it is hard to know in advance.
I do most of the cooking so I'll stock up on groceries and prep meals in advance. I'm thinking of getting someone to exercise our younger dog and asking my wife to walk the older one (who has had knee surgery). They're used to being allowed on my bed covered in a special dog bed. I wonder if that will be okay to do that still, for at least some time each day?
Anyway, hello from Berkeley, California. I've only read a couple of posts so far but once I've read more I expect I'll find answers to most of my other questions.
I've installed a grab bar in the bath/shower and have a raised toilet seat with handles for the toilet.
