    Since I'm bedridden we bought those red tool carts from Harbor Freight, and I use them for my different craft hobbies. On one cart is my yarn supplies, one is my Junk Journal supplies and the other is my beading supplies. So, whatever hobby hits me on any certain day my hubby will just roll the cart to my bed and away I go crafting. I have more crafting supplies than any one person really needs so in order to make my life simple I just told him what I wanted on each cart, and he organized it for me. I also have a bed side table that I keep my phone, bills and other junkie stuff I want around me too but when your bedridden you just don't have many ways to stay busy and happy.

    Kayla, I am chronically ill as well. I have Lupus, Sjögrens, Raynaud’s, Insulin dependent Type 2 diabetes, pulmonary embolisms, Chronic UTIs, lymphedema in my legs (on 2 water pills), Restrictive Lung Disease (fibrosis), osteoporosis with many compression fractures and disc damage (had a fusion at L4-L5 in April didn’t help) So I have intractable pain in my lower spine. I can only walk or stand for 5-8 minutes without excruciating pain. I use a cane and a wheelchair. I have multiple gastro problems. Had a tumor removed in my esophagus and they stretched it as large as they could. It’s called achalasia. I choke on food and have to bring food back up and chew it again ugh!! Sometimes it feels like I am swallowing a golf ball! Also, just had to have surgery on my right hand to remove a mucous cyst in the joint of my pointer finger. Second time removing it! It grew back! So my right hand is in a splint and bandage until later this week. Stitches come out 2 weeks after that.
    I understand about feeling so frustrated!! My husband is my caregiver he does the laundry, the dishwasher, vacuuming mopping, yard maintenance, car maintenance etc. He won’t let me drive anymore because I have a problem lifting my right leg. He’s afraid I won’t be able to lift my leg from gas to brake. I feel like a prisoner sometimes. And I feel sorry for him! But what can I do!! I pray all the time for strength for myself and for him! I pray for you and Big Daddy for strength and grace and peace!! (Sorry for writing a book😬)

    Kayla, my husband and I aren't well, and my son in law is in serious shape. We get it. It has been a long hard journey. I always remember you and your husband. You've been sick and fallen. Give yourself some careful easy time to heal. It'll get better. I'm a faller too. I have seven tears in my knee, calf, and in my back. I'm hurt alot. We need a prayer community and for God to send some extra Angels to watch over us. Lol, but truly, we do need God's touch. Love to you all and thanks for the chat.🩵💐🩷

    Good morning Kayla, I replayed the part of you and Elijah 3 times laughing that would have been me. Loved it ❤❤. Your coloring page is very pretty, I like it. I am doing laundry we got home last night from spending time with my mother in law in Tennessee. I told her that I think that I brought our weather with us. It's 24 outside and trying to snow ❄. We are supposed to get some good few inches. Today is my Granddaughter Zoe 11th birthday 🎂. They are going to get up to 12 inches. I am working on a chicken 🐔 plastic bag holder. I am saying prayers 🙏 ❤for you and big daddy. I am so sorry that you both are not feeling well.

    There are rollator walkers with a basket. They are narrow. Or my hubby has a Walker ( narrow with a seat, that you could put a basket on.) i have a table that i have attached a corner two shelf bookcase to. Next to my bed. Or a c shaped sofa side table . It has a basket and drawer that you could use by your bed. Amazon has these. They are a great help. My hubby has spinal fusion and diabetes with neuropathy. I have lupus , heart issues and migraines, asthma and back issues plus separated shoulders… so we are a mess collectively 😅. Hang in there. Give yourself a few weeks to gain strength , as hard as it may be.
    Blessings to you and big daddy.
    Ps see about a ramp? That would make it so much safer for you two.

    I’m just so glad to see you, wasn’t sure what was going on. I knew you fell not once but twice. What’s wrong with Big Daddy? Is he still having trouble with coughing and breathing? I
    love that grateful story, he wrote, it was an absolutely wonderful and heartfelt story, tell him I loved that. Hope your hand goes down so if you feel up to crocheting you can. No, unstable together, not good, so be careful my friends. Loved the photos you shared. The boys are doing well and helpful as well, wonderful sons! I would have said show me what you did. lol Don’t be in a hurry to go out, get your strength back first. What I’m doing today is crocheting and wondering what was going on with you all. So now I’m just so grateful that you’re okay, not good but okay. So you know we’re all praying for you and big daddy, and will everyday and evening! Just take it slow and be safe. I love you guys, your down to earth people. ❤it! Take care my loves, ❤🤗🙏🙏

    I feel for you and Big Daddy. My chronic health issues are too many to count. Some days I just have to live life minute by minute. Luckily, my husband is great at taking care of me. I understand the overwhelming feelings. Advocate for yourself with home health. You may be housebound, but that does not mean that they can just show up. I had to set them straight. Now I have a great nurse. One of the things that helps is that he keeps me informed. Take care of yourselves. The only real consideration is what works the best for you.

    Hey Kayla! When you were talking about carrying things back and forth, especially when you are using your IV Pole and your cane, I got to thinking about the IV poles I've seen in some hospitals that have baskets attached to them. Maybe a basket that is made for the IV pole would be helpful. I've also seen a few people in our area use some type of backpack that actually attaches to a cane. Obviously, you have to do what's best for you, but maybe these are 2 options you haven't thought of that might be helpful. Also, maybe it is time that you and Big Daddy consider putting in a ramp at your home instead of steps. I know my local Baptist Association has a team that will build ramps for no charge. Maybe there is an organization close to you that can help with that. I really enjoy your videos. I feel like I'm your friend just sitting on the couch hanging out. I pray that God will continue to give you strength to make it through each day. We don't understand why people have to go through these things sometimes, but I do know that God knows and understands. You are a testimony to a lot of people in life who struggle and you help them each day.

    I spend a lot of time sitting on my reclining couch which keeps my legs up and avoids swelling. Crochet, word game apps on my phone or tablet and UA-cam content occupies most of my time. I'm 70 and my husband just turned 74. He has psoriatic arthritis but gets around well and takes care of mowing, feeding birds, dishes, and taking the laundry to the machines so I can run the from my rolling office chair. He carries them to be put away. Our washer and dryer are front loading so it's easy for me to accomplish this from a seated position. I make simple dinners since standing is very uncomfortable and makes me less stable. He's a blessing. 🤗🥰
    I have similar but less limiting issues as you, Kayla. I've been riding the 'one step forward and two steps back' rollercoaster for 10 years. Currently, I can walk short distances. If I am pushing a shopping basket or using a walker, it's much easier. My main problem stems from lupus and severe spinal stenosis in my lumbar spine.i also have stage 3B kidney failure as a result of the lupus, osteoporosis from being on prednisone for 10 years, COPD, cardiac disease (birthday present from my dad 😂) and arthritis. Like you, my leg strength is comprised, especially when it comes to stairs. Porch steps require using a cane and the support of someone's arm if there are no railings.
    I don't go out much but I do drive to appointments when I know i can park near an entrance. If not, my husband drives and drops me at the door. I typically don't use my cane when I go places and never in the house anymore. There was a time though that I had to use my walker all the time. Getting up from a fall usually requires help. I totally understand you when you talked about the NEW NORMAL. It's hard to keep my head in a positive place sometimes and extremely frustrating to realize I simply can't do the things my brain says I can.
    You'll probably need a nap after reading all of this. I want you to know that you are loved and a fountain of encouragement and strength for me. I'm blessed to have crossed your path on the UA-cam streets. I wish I lived closer so I might visit.

    Your IT skills cracked me up as I'm like that too! I'm beyond thankful that over the 13 years since I became bedridden, I've gradually managed more & more. Very very slowly I've added more movement into my day, but it's often 2 steps forward & 3 steps back! I still spend a lot of hours in my recliner. Craft carts are wonderful. I also have a lap tray with a lid that has a lot of stuff in it. 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

    I am semi-stationary. I can get up and move around but because I have a broken shoulder, if I do too much I start to have pain and I get run down. I build myself a "nest" in my recliner and prop my arm so my shoulder can relax and be protected. The main thing I do is watch you tube videos. I play games on my phone and I read. I do more things when I'm up but I spend a lot of time in the recliner. I cannot lay down flat in bed.

Also.have a nightstand with a pen and books next to me with a drink. I have a light that I can just touch to get it to turn on to a variety of brightness levels.

    Keep working with your physical therapist and your occupational therapist. It is hard and it may feel it is doing no good. But keep on with it. Eventually you can start doing outpatient therapy. Pool therapy was the ticket for me. I was hospitalized for chemo and became very deconditioned. I was discouraged but determined. I am 73. I use a walker at all times because I fear falling. I now go to the YMCA and that has helped me to another level. My walker and I go where ever we want. This process has taken a couple of years. I believe in you.

    I'm crocheting a manta ray for my markets coming up. One on the 7th, 14th and 15th. Then done until April. I will however, start crocheting after Christmas for next year to try and stock up on my biggest sellers and make some new items. I'm also going to make my oldest sons afghan, the Irish flag with Celtic stitches. My other 2 sons have theirs, 1 is the colors of the Irish flag but not a flag and the other is red & white with some black for the Detroit Red Wings.
    Oh, I forgot, yes, I always think I'll make this, this and that on a particular day and only get this done🤪 and I don't even take prednisone 😁
    My heart aches 💔 for both of you. I have sent special prayer requests for both of you for Christmas and the coming year and of course I pray for you always💝🙏🏻
    I'm sure you have games you can play on your computer or tablet.🤷🏼‍♀️ You can keep the root beer for Christmas, then you won't have to buy any.
    God's blessings to you both 🙏🏻
    Wishing you a wonderful blessed day/night 🙏🏻💝💛🌼🌻🦋💙🦆

    Hi Kayla. Glad you cam laugh at yourself for some things. My kids laugh at me at times but I join in the laughter too. In fact I tell on myself. LOL. Without laughter life wouldn't be much fun. I crocheted some on my 3rd mermaid tail blanket. I've been off work for almost a week and a half and go back Monday. Will probably only stay about a half day as I'm going to retire at the end of the month and need to use my vacation time up (habe a month's worth) or I'll lose it. I'm nervous about this new step in life but I'm tired and worn out so feel it's time.
    Prayers and hugs go out to you and Big Daddy.

    I use a walker and use the seat to carry things. Put a tray on the seat it will help keep things corraled. I hang a grocery bag on one handle for trash. I can’t drive which has been a big adjustment as I was very active. I have two walkers one which is a walker and wheel chair so if you get tired you sit on seat and use pull-down foot rest and you can be pushed. I also have 3 wheel one with basket ,tray and bag. It is a little easier in my small house. I just use it when I am having a better day and feel I won’t need to sit. I don’t have a recliner either usually prop up in bed quite a bit of the time as need to get feet up. I keep things handy on bedside table, bed and walker seat I keep next to bed. Others things I keep just few feet away on other furniture. Strengthening your muscles takes time. I know. You are young compared to me at 78. Praying for you and family. God Bless ❤s

    I feel so bad for you both. I know hubby and I with problems, but I keep moving and do what I can. My legs feel weaker and I am so careful worry about falling. I have to take my doggie out and feed her and feed our cat and then go outside and feed a cat someone moved and did not take it and its like a wild cat. She had 3 kittens. I feel so bad because it got cold here their water froze and so did the water. Poor animals people need to not drop cats off so cruel. They do with dogs too. Prayers for you and big Daddy with so much pain. God Bless you both.

    Hi sweet lady. I don't have chronic pain like you I have very little mobility. I have a bedside commode next to me and TV tray. I like to crochet and diamond paint. I have a love sofa. Anyway really hate talking about it. I use a walker and wheel chair if I go out. But it's nothing to what your going through. Take care.

    I have cross stitch, colored pencils and coloring books, crochet project, I'm puzzle books, my kindle for videos and streaming and kindle books. All near my recliner. I still can work in a Dr. Office 4 days a,week. I can't do facility nursing any more. Can't get around well enough. I'm also looking my hearing, so don't know how much longer Ill be able to hang in there at work.

    I'm still praying for you all. I've been trying that ionic foot detox. 3rd time I got brown gunk out that smelled like iron and aluminum. I'm doing a lymph cleanse too. It seems to be working. Lymphs not draining will make your hands and feet swell. You might try that. I'm considering soaking my hands. They've been painful. One knuckle looks like 3. I've been slathering castor oil and frankenscense oil on them too. I'm so sorry you all are going through all those health problems. The foot soaks might help you both though.

    Oh man! I’m so sorry that you and Big Daddy are not doing well. Take your time getting better. Of course you have to push yourself a little every day to get stronger and improve. But it’s going to take time and you’re going to feel worn out as a result of doing the PT and OT. So do the work and then rest in between. I bet the Thanksgiving food had a lot of salt and that’s why you and BD are swollen. Hope you guys feel better tomorrow. Will be praying! ❤❤

    My walker has a seat but in the center of the seat there is a strap. You pull up and the sides come together making easy to use in tight spaces.
    Nitro walker, look it up and see what you think. When am able I can move lots around the house on the seat.
    The Drs are trying to get me an electric wheelchair. Receive a catalog in the mail with lots of handicap helps. One is an electric wheelchair that will stand the person riding up to eye level. That would enable me to even cook again in the kitchen.

    Could you build a ramp, so you and Big Daddy don't have to go up and down the steps? I am crocheting socks that you did a tutorial for for my 3 girls. I adjust hook size and count to fit their feet. I am using some of the new big twist Christmas yarn to make them.

    I spend most of the day in my recliner and I have a rolling cart with five drawers in it and a top with the lamp I have my neck light so I can crochet easily. I have at least three different crochet projects going and they're all right here in case I get bored with one I can do work on a different one also have my spinning wheel is right in front of me and I have an electric spinner and different fibers to the right of me. So mostly I just get up and take care of the animals and get things to drink during the day the rest of the time I'm sitting here working on stuff with my hands and watching UA-cam on my phone and I've got my feet up so my feet and legs don't swell

    Kayla, do you have a little basket on the front of your walker? That’s a help. Or even an apron with big pockets in the front. Also Kayla when you get up, first set your feet on the floor, then move your feet heel toe up and down, it does help with mobility, it works for me and also if your get leg cramps while in bed, leave your heels stable and move your toes back and forth, really works! Again, just ideas! ❤️🤗😘🙏

    Sounds like you might benefit from one of those 3 level carts on wheels, they're on wills, and they can fit through a lot of places are small you can put a lot of stuff on those carts, and you can will it from room to room a lot of people use those

    If I had to be very inactive, I would probably listen to a lot of audio books. I can download books from my library system for free. I also like watching a variety of documentaries. I know that when my mom got older and was in a wheelchair, she liked to do crossword puzzles. I think it's very difficult for you because you're pretty young and you have a very creative mind. There are so many things you want to do, but you aren't always physically capable of doing them.That is a hard position to be in. You definitely need to use a walker that has storage bags so you can carry things from room to room.

    Get a bag to carry things in and hang it on your IV pole. Keep a basket near your desk that you can keep snacks, a yarn project in. Some tissues,hand gel.....ask your, what would make this easier for me. maybe Dakota can come by on his way to work and start your feedings once in awhile....ask Sake to come help put stuff in a basket to keep near your bed, and one by your desk. You also need a more comfortable place to sit too. Can you sit on the couch with big daddy? Or sit there when he's not? Ask your son or Asks to help you clear things that may be cluttering your hallway/walkway so you can use your walker and not fall
