        What are some things you are having trouble coping with?

        Thanks for sharing. I know it can be challenging to adjust to these changes. There is nothing wrong with taking your time to do things. You can always pace yourself to get a task done. We could also look into what your strengths and see what areas you may need assistance with.
        
        Yeah that would be great, it would be nice to do some things for myself
        
        What are the changes that you have noticed with yourself?
        
        I noticed that I am much slower in getting things done, such as putting on my clothes or having to walk to the fridge from the living room and while I am walking I notice I lose my balance at times.
