Hello all!!
A brief intro- I am somewhat familiar with MS, as a dear friend's husband suffers from it, and we talk about it frequently, so I have an idea on how the disease works.
A friend of my mothers has approached me to assist with her sister that has MS, she has had a couple of bad falls and they need someone to basically just spend the night with her. I will be meeting her tomorrow, and will being staying the night immediately.This lady is retired military, and from what I have been told, she is very independent.
My question- are there specific questions I should ask about her MS and what to be aware of? Any tips on what I can do to support and help- without taking away that 'independant' feeling?
I am excited to be doing this to help this family and veteran out in their time of need, but I am also nervous because my experience with MS is so limited. So really any tips and info on how to be of assistance is greatly appreciated!
