Als Beinamputierter weiter machen?
Hallo an alle, ich möchte euch kurz die Geschichte meines Vaters erzählen in der Hoffnung jemand kann uns helfen.
Mein Vater ist 57 Jahre alt und seit 15 Jahren Dialyse Patient, hat eine Herzstörung und Durchblutungsstörungen im ganzen Körper.
2020 verlor er bereits ein Bein weil dort kein Blut mehr floss und die Ärzte nichts mehr tun konnten.. laufen lernen mit der Prothese konnte er nie weil das andere Bein seitdem auch Probleme gemacht hat, außerdem hat er wegen der Dialyse keine Kraft in den Armen.
Nun haben wir die Diagnose bekommen, dass das andere Bein auch amputiert werden muss und wir sind völlig verzweifelt und wissen nicht wie wir nun weiter machen sollen.
Wir haben seit 2020 bereits einen Treppenlift damit er durchs Haus kann, jedoch kam er dort nur drauf mit einem Bein.
Da dieses leider dann nicht mehr da ist wird er dort nicht mehr alleine hoch kommen, geschweige denn auf Toilette kommen usw..
Vielleicht kann uns ja jemand helfen, wie wir jetzt weiter machen können 🙁
(Pflegeeinrichtungen kommen für uns nicht in Frage..)

If a care facility (first time) is not available, there is the option of outpatient care.
Then someone comes home with you who helps with great care activities that you do not get alone (morning out of bed, shower, in the evening in bed, etc.).
However, you would still be well placed 80% of the day on you and would have to cope with the rest of your care alone.
The question of whether you would get this can only be answered, since we do not know the resources of each individual or the care situation of your father, let alone the conditions at your home.
The most important question, however, is: is it possible for your father to move in your own home in a barrier-free manner (even without a staircase lift or with another wheelchair-friendly staircase lift)? Otherwise, a rebuilding may have to be started (where you can receive financial grants).
What I would definitely advise you: Think about whether you get a mobile lifter. This is simpler in the long term, and above all more body-friendly than the father must be constantly reacted with his own body power. This will be an enormous change for you all at the beginning, but I can tell you from my own experience that it is much easier.
(With such a lift, I could transport a person weighing more than 100 kilos from the wheelchair to the toilet – without having been an act of impossibility or in the long term I would have become a care case myself.)
What is possible in any case: first try at home and if you realize that you do not get there with all your strength, then there can still be the consideration of a care facility. Often it is so that many families think care at home they get there. In everyday life with the disabled person, however, they often notice that comprehensive care is simply not accessible – at least not without going to the ground itself.
Happy birthday!
Many thanks for the detailed answer🙏 We’re looking for such a lift.
Thanks for the star! By the way: with the care allowance what your father is entitled, a lifter can be financed.
The question is whether you can do this with professional help. With appropriate care service. Or whether there are other options in question. Care at home is really difficult. And in your case maybe even 24h a day. EIne simple solution is not available: A nursing home is an incision that your father may not want. And what does your mother mean? Can you make it home? Or is a nursing home an option for your father?
The other question would be whether a rebuilding of your house would be an option. So your father doesn’t have to go up. And could you make this financial?
Talk about it! I wish you a lot of strength!
My mother would never put him in a nursing home. He himself does not want it..
financially, we might be able to do it because he started to work again and he has happier wisely only one office job.
Reconstruction of the house would be difficult because we have on the ground floor the living room, kitchen and a bathroom, but we cannot rebuild the living room so.
Reconstruction is then possible: Perhaps the living room as a sleep/living room/working room. Well, the sanitary facilities are downstairs. This facilitates a lot.- And the “bedroom” just use as a (small) living room? – The furniture that is now available just ask into question! The remodeling can be done easily with furniture? and is the bathroom accessible now? or has to be put on hand? Makes EUch free from the existing furniture and then proceeds together!. Good luck!
Thank you very much for your answers🙏🙏
At the age of pulling into a care facility, I also find it hard. How does it look like when it comes to wowing? Your mother could also move in.
My mother-in-law also has to be dialysis. A doctor once told us this can form lime deposits in veins. This will probably be the cause of your father, because now you would be too dangerous for your father because of an embolie . The simplest solution would be a bathroom and a room to sleep on one floor if you can rebuild the house.
The house has a bathroom on the ground floor and the living room, but it does not come alone to the toilet and my mother is not healthy and would not be able to carry it over..
There should definitely be a care service involved.
Care facility
This is not a question for us…
I don’t think you’ll have anything else left, sadly, or nursing home. Otherwise since your family is overwhelmed
