yes this is very complex. i feel for you as you a=are on your own. luckily i have my daughter but it is very hard on her. i know what you mean with not taking things in i am the same and i cant remember say 5.10 mins ago. i had a lot of skills and trained hard for these but because of the health problems etc i have lost them and spelling can be hard as i am starting to forget how to spell things.

as the the mobility problems i was offered an operation and my back to create some space between L4 and L5 but with risks as i am om warfrain and bleeding out plus there was no chance of the op working as it could go i would be fine for good or fine for a while then the horid pain would come back or it would not work at all or the nerves would be damaged that i would be in my wheelchair all the time and have no control over my bodily functions at all,

so i was told the wheelchair would be the better way to go to slow the compression down and and "put off" as it were the op but at some point i may have to have it as i cant not stand long less then 2 mins if that and getting worse and if the pain gets so unbearable for me as they can not give me stronger pain killers as i drive so i am on co codamol the high strength. my daughter discribes my compression as putting your thumb and first index finger apart which would be what a normal person would have in their back as space and mine is half by bringing the thumb and finger in by half. i say its like being in a cage. so we have to fight to get what we need.
