She has had 6 back surgeries, cancer, and now something called arachnoiditis which gives you constant pain. I have done all the safety things, grab handles in bath, steps to get into bed, and I bought her a wonderful recliner which is where she spends all of her time, eating sleeping. At this point I have been able to handle everything cooking, laundry, bathing, sorting out pills. It would be great to talk to others in similar situations.

Well Fasdog, you are in the right place if you want to be able to share and ask questions with others that have have either been there done that or are still deep in the throes of caregiving.
This is a forum for caregivers all over the world though the majority are from here in the US.
It sounds like you're doing a great job with your wife, and are figuring things out as you go along. That's what we've all had to do.
I do hope though that you're also taking good care of yourself and doing things that you enjoy as that is very important when caring for a loved one, because you matter too in this equation.
I wish you well as you continue on this journey with your wife. She is very fortunate to have you.
