Do you have a ramp on your front entrance where you could go out the front door and enter the garage that way, or is there a way to maybe install a gently-sloping ramp leading to the garage? That would help if you could get your landlord to built it.

Sorry to say, but the bathroom entrance would be a bit difficult to enlarge, unless you own the home and have room to do that, but that’s the only solution I can think of for that problem.

At least you’re able to accomplish some things with help. Do you have a neighbor or someone from your church who has been helping?

The garage has an upstep into the house so that wouldn’t work...the ramp at the front door is one I use to be able to use, but since my hands and arm are so bad now, it’s impossible for me to get up it. The garage is so small that the ramp that would make it possible for me to get into it, would block the washer and dryer from my access.

As for neighbors and church people...my church is so big that nobody makes an effort to be your friend, so nobody helps...we have one neighbor who helps with the lawn...he gets his boss’ rider mower to do his own lawn and comes to do ours too...though he didn’t do it this week yet, I’m wondering if he will. ...and we get rides to the store and to boyscout outings from a few outsiders...the boy has a few church contacts that are willing to give him a ride every now and then. Sometimes, it’s hard to find one of the contacts willing to help...it’s frustrating having to rely on others and finding that all of them are too busy to help when you need the help. That’s the only help we get from outsiders. We truly appreciate when we get help and totally understand when they have other things to do and can’t help.
