how would I fit a paralysed patient, needing constant attention, into our lives? And since it’s the only option, when would I have time to bring her the bedpan, wash her, cook for her, keep her from getting bedsores? The district nurse won’t come every day, and what shall I do when I have to be away from home? And what will my husband do? Will she even come if I ask her? She’ll reject the idea straight away, but then where will she go? There’s no room with anyone else.
