I am getting very tire of having to fight so fiercely to achieve the things I need. Let me explain why so you will understand better: for instance, the past two nights I slept only 4 hours in spite that I was in bed for 7 hours. Since I am a quadriplegic, I have to be repositioned at least every 5 hours or the pressure points will give me wounds. My husband has been my sole caregiver, but just a few months ago, his cardiologist diagnosed him with Congestive Heart Failure. Also, my husband had stents placed in his Aorta vein four years ago. So I came to the conclusion that we now need extra help and hired 2 caregivers. One, from Monday thru Thursday, and the other one Friday & Saturday. Which means a lot of money! This has me extremely upset because I don't know if I am going to have the money to pay for services like that for a long time.
The stress of being a quadriplegic creates on the person, as well as on their loved ones, tremendous anxiety.
