実家に戻って（2019,2020年）/Back to parents’ house(2019,2020)

　どうも、自由人です！
Hi, I am free person!　

　約半年ぶりに実家へ戻り、なんとも言えない気持ちになり、不安とかはないのですが、倒れる前の生活とのギャップがありすぎて…2〜3日の間ナーバスに。
　一人暮らしを始めたばかりで毎日ワクワクしていて、家での過ごし方が以前とまったく違うし、一人で行えたことができなかったので。
　ですが、すぐに現状の状態に慣れ、気にしなくなりました。
I went back to my parents’ house for the first time in about 6 months and I felt indescribable, not anxious or anything, but there was so much of a gap between my life before the fall down…I was nervous for a couple of days.
I had just started living on my own and was excited every day, and the way I spent my time at home was completely different from before, and I couldn’t do the things I could have done on my own.
However, I soon got used to the current situation and stopped worrying about it.

　実家に戻るのと同時に、車椅子でも快適かつ危険が起きないよう多少の工事をほどこし、6輪タイプの車椅子を購入。（6輪だと小回りがきき 、狭い所でも問題なく移動できる。それとリクライニング機能がある物を選んだので、長時間座ってもおしりが痛くなりにくい）
At the same time as returning to my parents’ house, I made some modifications to make my wheelchair more comfortable and less dangerous, and bought a 6-wheeled wheelchair. (6-wheeled wheelchairs can turn in a small radius. Allows the user to maneuver around in tight spaces without problems, and it has a reclining function [Can be attached with optional] so the user’s hips don’t hurt when sitting in it for long periods of time)

　あと、取手みたいな物などを購入してお手洗いと洗面所につけて（移動の際に転倒しないよう）
外にはリビングから出入りできるよう庭にコンクリートを流し、そこに手で掴まれる柱のような物を差し込み自力で外へ出れて、庭から楽に出れるようスローブを置いて。（何かに捕まってれば立って移動も可能）
I would also purchase something like a handle and put it in the bathroom and washroom. (To prevent my from falling over when moving around)
Outside, pour concrete in the yard for access from the living room, insert something like a pillar that can be grabbed by hand into it, and put a slove so that I can get out on own and get out of the yard easily. (I can also move around standing up if I am held by something)

　↑こういった物　↑This is what it looks like.
※外の柱などは家族以外でも見えるのでUPしてません。
※I didn’t upload it because anyone outside can see it except family members.

　実家に戻ってすぐ、訪問リハビリをお願いし、国の決まりで週に3日までしかできないとの事で、週3日お願いする事に。（お願いしたリハビリはPT、OT、PT、2021年くらいからはすべてPT）
※リハビリの種類を大きく分けると3種類です
・PT（理学療法）・・・立つ、歩くなどのおおまかな動きを回復・維持する療法
・OT（作業療法）・・・着替え、入浴等、指など身体の部分を使って何かを行う、こまかな動きを回復・維持する療法
・ST（言語療法）・・・聞く、話す、飲み込むなどの喉の動きを回復・維持する療法

　半年ほど経った頃に、歩行器を購入し家で歩行練習をする事に。
（一人だと転倒の恐れがあるので、父親が自分の後ろで見守る）

　As soon as I returned to my parents’ house, I asked for home visit rehabilitation, and was told that due to a government rule, I could only do up to 3 days a week. (The rehabilitation I requested was PT, OT, PT, and from about 2021, all PT)
※There are 3 main types of rehabilitation.
・PT (Physical Therapy) : Therapy to recover and maintain general movements such as standing and walking.
・OT (Occupational Therapy) : Therapy to recover and maintain fine movements such as changing clothes, bathing, etc, using fingers and other body parts to do something.
・ST (Speech Therapy) : Therapy to restore and maintain throat movements such as listening, speaking, and swallowing.

　After about 6 months, decided to purchase a Walking Assit Instrument and practice walking at home.
(My father watches behind me because might fall down if I am alone.)

　そして確認のため、3ヶ月に1回実家から近くの大きいな病院で受診がありました。
その後は特に問題なく、3ヶ月→4ヶ月→5ヶ月とだんだん延びていき、最終的には6ヶ月と半年に1回へ。（受診時、自分の場合は検査も薬の処方もなく診察だけ）

　さらに1年ほど経ち、ちゃくちゃくと回復し、「この状態なら」と訪問リハビリの療法士が就労継続支援の話をして、詳細を聞くため施設へ向かう事に。（リハビリ病院に入所してた時の看護師と受診の時の先生から話を聞いていたのである程度の知識あり）
※就労継続支援・・・一般的な就労がむずかしく、障がい者に向けた職業訓練を支援し、最終的には一般的な仕事ができるようにするサービス施設。A型とB型の2種類あります。
　施設の方から、詳細を聞き、実際に施設内を見学して、ここでの生活なら現状の状態でも問題なくすごせ、さらなる改善があるだろうと、入所に向けての手続きをすることへ。

　しかし、このタイミングでコロナが流行し、入所ができなくなりました。

　Then, for confirmation, there was a visit once every 3 months at a large hospital near my parents’ house.
After that, there were no problems, and the period gradually extended from 3 months to 4 months to 5 months, and finally to 6 months and once every 6 months. (At the time of the visit, there was no examination or prescription of medicine in my case, just a medical examination.)

　After another year or so, I was recovering steadily, and the visiting rehabilitation therapist told me about continuous employment support, and I decided to go to the facility to ask for more details. (I had heard about it from the nurse at the rehabilitation hospital and the doctor at the time of my visit, so I had some knowledge about it.)
※There are two types of support facilities… Type A and Type B.
　After hearing the details from the facility staff and actually touring the facility, we decided to apply for admission, believing that we would be able to live here without any problems in our current condition and that there would be further improvements.

　However, at this time, the corona epidemic broke out and they were unable to admit us.
