FILLING IN DESCRIPTORS FOR ESA

HI Bro58,

You very kindly answered my question last week and I also had a look at the links, so sorry, but I am still not so clear I have read up loads on this over the weekend, but still not sure,

Over the weekend, I have managed to fill out most my friends ESA50, however, I am still stuck on Standing and sitting. Is it a combination of two together????

I have stated approx. time she can stay seated, which is about 15mins, she then has get up due to the pain and would need physical assistance and stated why she can stand for another 5mins due to lower limb problems, I have listed these.

However, sometimes she used to be able to get up with extreme pain and discomfort with her elbow crutch or combination of the two, meaning with help and using the crutch. Do I put this down???

Furthermore, if one used their crutch once with pain and discomfort because they had to, as no one was around to help, but they could not do this again, repeatedly, reliably and safely, would they score any points???

Thank You

Radhika

Sorry did not reply to your answer earlier, as I had to read it a couple of times before I could get my head around it and was running out of time to get form completed.

Many Thanks as always for your answer, which eventually does make sense
