Can i ask you if your physio sessions are wuth the nhs or private.

I was diagnosed with PPMS in 2018, I think it was 2021 I stopped being able to walk at all. I was given a manual wheelchair and now I’m in an electric wheelchair which is helping but transferring from the wheelchair to a toilet or to bed is difficult.
The NHS has discussed giving me a hoist to help with this but I am against that, just like I was with a wheelchair as I know once I start using it, I will just be reliant on it and won’t look back so I’m happy to do it the hard way for now.
I will say to you, the wheelchair has helped me become more independent. With the electric wheelchair, who knew all those years playing on a playstation had some benefits
