I do live independelty since I am going to post secondary. I use homecare, but they a re not able to come to appointments with me. And I have no family in town, since I live in a different town. I do feel bad asking university friends to come to appointments with me since we havent known eachother that long. Maybe I just need someone to come with me to help advocate.

Thank you so much. It just seems like a lot more work for the people assisting me. That's why I was confused, but that make sense. Just want to be as independent as possible.

Hi, I am not sure where to post this, but I thought I would come here for some advice. I have moderate Cerbral Palsy (CP), and I use a wheelchair full time. To transfer, I either use a slide board, or I weight bear if I have something to hold on to (such as the side of a bed). I went for botox injections about a week ago, and they ensisted on using an overhead lift. When I tried to tell them I can transfer if they put up the bed rail (so I have something to hold on to), they told me this is easier. They said its safer and will make it much easier for me. I want to keep as much independence as I have. Does anyone have any tips when I go back for medical appoitment. Not sure what to say.
