I just found this community and I hope I can talk with others who can relate.
My father has been a paraplegic for 23 years. he has some use of his upper body, arms, and neck. 23 years is a long time to be in a wheelchair, i know. But he is now starting to give up. he wont see a new doctor, get the treatments he needs to get rid of his pressure sores. take medicine for his anxiety, NOTHING. everytime I try to talk to him he shuts me out and all I can do is cry.
is there anyone in here going through the same thing that can give me some advice??
