No one wants to be in a position of depending on others but sometimes it's inevitable.

As a consequence I now have a care-link connected to my 'phone and wear an emergency button on my wrist.
Whilst my health lasts, I would be loathe to leave here, but if my health does deteriorate, then I suppose I shall have to be resigned to living in 'sheltered accomodation' of some description.
For now I live with my daughter and son-in-law in a bedroom on the second floor. I can still do stairs slowly, with a good grip on the handrail. I started the "what if I wind up in a wheelchair" conversation a few days ago and Sarah looked quite startled, then replied "Well that would be a problem..." as the doorways are narrow and there's no way to fix up a bedroom on the main floor. So... the plan is to stay on my feet as long as I can. There's motivation for me, eh?
