I know what you mean about availability of caregivers. It's horrible here. I got my extra hours approved but I can't find anyone willing to drive 30 miles for the 2 hours in the morning and at night. I'm so frustrated that I've been in bed so long unecessarily. I had the pleasure of being up for inpatient rehab for almost 2 weeks since May. Another summer gone.
I'm sorry about your brother. Even family can be very selfish. My older brother didn't even call when he found out that I broke my back and spent time in the hospital. He talked to my mom once and that is when he found out. You'd think after almost losing us, they would be a little more grateful that we are alive.

(I'd hate to see what he'll do if his wife or children were like this.) With that said, my folks and myself included no longer want him here. He is just so fixed on what others in my family are doing to help. Like God for bid he does anymore then someone else in the family...and that to boot was rare. Not to mention my twin just got his schedule changed at his job due to the advancement in his position. It put him from night shift to morning shift. So, now I face a big dilemma in my life because my folks are older and cannot do everything for me. i.e.; getting me in and out of bed. But I've looked around for grants or financial assistants to help me pay for a one rail ceiling lift so it would be less stressful on whomever had to transfer me. Any suggestion would help please... Keith/34/C4-5/NJ PS. It's crazy to think that I'd be fighting my family to stay in the community, but that's my luck. Plus, the PCA availability stinks in my area not to mention I just get max 21 hours.
