Today I had my second telephone appointment with the physiotherapist from Women's Health regarding my bladder problem. For more information, please see my earlier post here. I had emailed my latest bladder diary to her in advance of the appointment. Iinitially she seemed to think things were improving but she noticed that I…
Time for my annual review at the close of the year. This year has passed so quickly that it has left me gasping. The days seem to have flashed past me like for the hero of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine... For some of the time, it's been more a case of what…
It was a lovely sunny afternoon so my hubby suggested we go out for a bit, taking the Trekinetic with us - I haven't used it very much lately, because whenever my hubby has been free to take me out (and he's been so busy lately that that hasn't been often), I have…
Today I had my PIP assessment. PIP and DLA PIP is Personal Independence Payment, the new disability benefit that is being rolled out in the UK to replace the old DLA (Disability Living Allowance).

Big surprise! Last week I received a phone call to say that my Trekinetic wheelchair would be arriving this week! I was super-excited, because they told me it would not be with us before the end of July. This means we have got the whole of the rest of the summer in which…
Still nothing on the desk, I'm afraid. I've been too busy with other things, and too tired, to even think about anything creative. I didn't join in last week but managed to visit a few folks, and was so happy to see the photos of the crop! It looks as if all the…
