CHANGE OF VIEW.

This blog was inspired by another blog that I read in the Sun newspaper yesterday.

http://www.discoverdisability.com/

Not only do I want to write about my creativity, I also want to write about my Disability. When I have more time I will write about why I am where I am. The story is obviously long and complicated....But in the Discover Disability Blog, Karen's writing really does portray the same problems, pains and emotions to which I suffer also.

This morning I have sent an email to my local disability support unit at the local council offices. They should appoint me my own social worker to asses if they can help me. No doubt they will say no to save on costs, even though I'm hoping just to get a volunteer a few times a week.

This is what I got up to yesterday morning and this morning....

My husband seems to think that moving house suddenly cured me and I was able to wash pots again. When reality is I cant stand and wash pots. I haven't been able to for over 2 years. In our last home we had a dish washer that my son could easily load and unload without complaint. But our new kitchen is too small to fit in a dishwasher.

And the laundry always looks like this. I cant bend nor lift and load the washing machine or the tumble dryer.

I know a lot of people who will be saying,"Your son/husband should do it!", but I didn't have my children to be my slaves or permanent carers. My husband does what he can, but he works a full time job and has to leave at 5am and doesn't get home until 8pm. By which time all he has time to do is eat rest and head straight back to bed to start the next day all over again. The pots will eventually get done, but until then I have to work around them . And as for clothes I have to wear whatever I have clean upstairs, whether they match or not.
