Ottawa, Canada Carrie Colton Full time

Personal Assistant, Support Person

Who I am:
I am a young man with complete intestinal failure due to a rare form of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. I do not eat or drink liquids. I infuse through an intravenous central line, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and saline for all my nutrition and hydration. I have my own home and do all my own nursing care. I am on the road to a bowel transplant and, hopefully, with a lot of work, a new life.

**Requirements**:
Looking for a personal assistant, support person and teacher. Must be extremely organized, reliable, and honest. A medical background would be a major asset. However, anyone comfortable with and experienced in working with chronic illness and with expertise in organizing, researching, and studying dense, complex material (mainly transplant-related) will be considered

I require someone to help me with my daily routine and structure, stay organized, track all my medical supplies, research for my upcoming transplant, and help to keep me motivated productive, and to teach and guide me in moving forward towards greater independence in preparation for transplant and the life that comes after. There will be many difficulties, mainly for me, which include my many chronic symptoms of nausea, pain, and exhaustion, and you must be comfortable bearing witness.
