"He needs to look into adaptations and such like, so you don't end up having to take the days off for stuff that is preventable and keep it for things that arent. So for coffee adaptions, I have a kettle upstairs and downstairs, so I don't have to lug hot drinks up the stairs, I just make them upstairs or vice versa or get the thermos cups with the lids on the top so spills are contained."
All this. I have permanent nerve damage in my foot from an injury, which means that I walk very unsteadily, with a severe limp. I was once taking the buffet breakfast at a hotel. I tried to take a mug of coffee from the dispenser over to our table, but sloshed some of it out onto the floor for the staff to mop up. 😳 Now I always take a leak proof travel mug with me and use that instead.
At home I have a travel kettle in our bedroom, so I can make hot drinks on the desk beside our bed, so no walking with hot drinks. Downstairs, I use a lidded travel mug, or if making coffee, I have a cafetiere which looks like a lidded flask, so I can just carry my mug with a bit of milk in it to the living room, then bring the coffee in from the kitchen in the leak proof cafetiere.
I use baskets with handles either side to take stuff up and down stairs and from room to room. Cold drinks are put in lidded beakers so they don't spill.
My DH has recently installed a grab rail in our bathroom, which enables me to get out the bath more easily, that's been a God send.
I get that it's shit and frustrating. My mobility is so much more limited now, I need a stick to walk any distance, and even that's tiring. But you do have to do whatever is necessary to make life easier for yourself, and so you're not needlessly relying on other people.
Oh, and I'm jiggered if I'm going to fetch drinks around for anyone but myself. My perfectly able bodied DH and 24 and 15 year old DC, that live with us, can carry their own drinks, and anything else, about themselves. Which of course they do.
