So, question for my wise friends...
I am obviously trying to find a way to keep things going pretty much the way they are. But, I acknowldge that things are different. So, I was thinking about hiring a cleaning service to come in twice a month. Not much, but it would help. Basically to just scrub, mop, and vacum. I don't have a huge house....it's a one story ranch with a finished basement. Two bedrooms, lliving room, dining room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms. Just perfect for Nate the Great and myself. Obviously I would like to have someone come in more, but $$$ that probably isn't an option. Does anybody here use a cleaning service? If so, how much does something like this run?
Rebecca, left you a message on the other forum, YES, do it. Lindy
I got one as I can not do it physically. Too exhausting and I feel pretty good. For me it is well worth the money.I was lucky as a dear friend's daughter cleans houses. She comes in twice a month, vacuums, dusts, cleans bathrooms. I never thought I'd see the day when I would hire someone to clean for me, but when it got to the point that pushing the vacuum caused me a lot of pain, and I would want to cry after carrying it up the stairs, I realized that it was foolish to keep on. She spends four hours doing the toughest work, and I pay her . It's the best thing I have done for myself since getting RA, and I can save my strength for getting groceries every week. Do it, Rebecca!
