You prove what c5 quads can do and hopefully Paul
will take heart that life goes on when one's caregiver bows out.

How do you get by with 2-4 hours a day? Do they
have time to do; laundry, vacuum, dusting,
cooking, wash dishes, run errands? Or do you do
some or all of these things. What if you need help at 3am?

Hi,
I'm Paul a c5/6 complete quad. After 2 1/2 years of marriage,
I am sadly getting a divorce. The 'quad life' was more than she
could handle, and I understand. It's very very sad.
Of those who are c5/6.......do you have a 24 hr live in? If not
can you share how you mange your caregivers and who helps
at night.
Thanks so much,
pj
