Save JobJob Description
My wife (41) has had a cervical diskectomy and fusion, and in recovering from the surgery, she is in considerable pain and is very limited in mobility and activity. We are on the north side of Chicago, IL. and need someone to help approx 4 days per week in the morning or afternoon, starting as soon as possible. She needs help with bathing, grooming, changing clothes and wound dressing. Not sure how long we will need this but I would guess a few weeks, maybe longer depending on how she recovers.
