Pedicure

Page views: 653 My pedicure has so far been carried out by a chiropodist, friends and family. After the latest „incident“ following the removal of supposedly dead skin, the question arose once again as to whether professional chiropody would be better suited to me. In and of itself, I would immediately say sure, that makes sense. But who is going to pay for it in the long term? The same thing...

Micropositioning legs

Seitenaufrufe: 1,283 Hin und wieder tut ein wenig Abwechslung richtig gut. Mit dieser Lagerungsmethode entspannen meine Beine sehr gut. Codewort: Beine lagern Die Haltung ist im Grunde dieselbe wie immer, wenn ich auf dem Rücken liege. Anstatt die Füße mit dem dünnen 40×80 Kissen zu lagern, legst du mir dieses allerdings längs unter das Bein. Und zwar auf der...

Basic care

Seitenaufrufe: 605 Tja, die Grundpflege. Was gibt es dazu zu sagen? Nicht viel, du bist der Profi. Es genügen, denke ich, ein paar Stichpunkte. Dies war das Ende meiner ursprünglichen Beschreibung der Grundpflege. Doch dann kam alles anders. Ich habe mich geirrt. Es ist eben doch nicht klar, wie die Grundpflege bei mir ablaufen soll. Was mich konkret dazu...

Oral care

Page views: 537 If my carers had followed these instructions, they would still be relevant today and I would have been spared a lot of grief: When it comes to oral care, one thing above all is important: Not wasting time and not scrubbing my gums. If the toothbrush switches off, the maximum recommended brushing time has been exceeded. We brush our teeth, not the towel underneath, not the...

Facial care

Seitenaufrufe: 571 Es genügt mir vollkommen, wenn du mit handwarmem Wasser das Gesicht abwischst. Ab und zu mal wenig Duschgel ist okay, mehr nicht. Bei Verwendung von Duschgel bestehe ich allerdings darauf, danach nochmal mit klarem Wasser abzuspülen. Und noch eine Bitte: Bevor du mich in irgendwas einseifst, schaue was du da in der Hand hältst. Erspar uns die...

Urination ("wee-wee")

Pageviews: 590 I'm not incontinent, but my atrophied groin, pelvic, buttock, leg and abdominal muscles make it difficult for me to „push out“ urine residue and sometimes even to pee within seconds at the push of a button. So you don't have to stand with me the whole time and hold the urine bottle or even my penis when I have to pee. Whoever is doing this to you in...

Hygiene and care

Page views: 654 My absolute favourite topic. I was told that you don't have to explain something like that. My experience is of a different opinion. Because in the past, carers have managed it - several times - even despite verbal explanations, And so I am of the opinion that yes, of course I have to explain to you what I value and what is important to me. From where...

Positioning of my right ear

Page views: 565 Due to the fact that I tend to spend much more time on my right ear than my left, I quickly run the risk of it becoming sore. There are certainly many „recognised“ techniques and aids to prevent this, but for me the following, totally simple and convenient variant also works. All we need for this is...

Stretch and extend fingers

Page views: 658 I know it's annoying. But believe me, even more annoying than constantly stretching out my fingers is constantly feeling them tighten and not being able to do anything about it. Stretch my fingers out flat and straight. Then squeeze them slightly so that they are stretched. Hold this position for about ten seconds. Let my fingers...

Drive down again (lie down)

Page views: 604 I think the shutdown is self-explanatory. Just one thing: I put my head on the right side for much better breathing. I do this deliberately, it's the way it's supposed to be. Even if it looks to you as if my neck is going to break every second, believe me, it's all right. ? As soon as...
