How much help do you need getting dressed?
This depends on what I’m wearing. There are some simple, around the house, outfits that I can get into and out of without any assistance. Loose fitting trousers and a camo vest or T-shirt would be absolutely fine. However I usually like to dress better than this.
Some items I definitely cannot do without assistance. These include bras and tights. A bra because I do not have the dexterity to do them up and the tights because I cannot balance long enough to get them on my feet and pull them up. I also, always, need help with my shoes as I cannot get down there to deal with them and I have trouble applying enough pressure to get my foot in. Whoever is helping me with my shoes usually finds it very difficult as they have to try and squeeze them in and I cannot help by adding that weight.
I also often need help balancing when I need to get something over my bottom as I cannot simply lay down and lift my bottom up, nor can I easily stand and balance while I pull them up.
I can, at least, still easily put on a hat! LOL
