thereis a thing i do now and it's called work. i have taken part in work before but maccas doesn't really count (or does it???*raises eyebrows questioningly*) i now do home care for people who have to use a wheelchair. it's hard work but i'm actually enjoying it. so i thought i'd give you a rundown of what happens in the morning.
Start (this ranges anywhere from 5.30am to 10am)
greetings
coffee
breakfast
get shower chair from bathroom
put a sling under the client
check skin for any pressure sores or tender areas while putting slingin place
get elf (the hoist) and hook slient up so that i can move them without hurting myself
hoist client into shower chair
remove sling
wheel client to bathroom and allow time for ... well you can think of that by yourself, just think of what you do in the bathroom.
while client is in the bathroom use time to tidy the bedroom and make the bed
shower time
dry client
put client back into sling
hoist onto bed
get client dressed
hoist into normal wheelchair
make sure position in chair is even and straight and whatever assistance the client needs is in place (straps and things)
do dishes and housework
organise food for the day
Finish
this is all done in roughly 2-3 hours. there's more to it but that's roughly what i do in the morning. what do you do?

i dont do much in the mornings, let alone all that. highly commendable effort and work jess. *gives pat on the back*. it takes a special breed of people to devote their time to caring for people who need it, i respect you for that.
