< Thats me at the moment!

First my lovely new bath lift didnt work and they cant get an engineer out for over a week! Grr I was so looking forward to my first bath in... I really cant remember how long!

Never mind I thought, everything else is ok.

Then today mum went and picked up my new wheelchair from the red cross - and they gave her a transit one not a self propelling one like I'd asked for. I'm going out with the girls tomorrow night and it was going to be depressing enough needing to use a wheelchair when I went out, as I never thought I'd get back to the stage of needing one, let alone having to ask one of my friends I havent seen for a few months to push me round town!

Mum and I are going to try and change it tomorrow - I really hope I can.

So the bets are on - what will be number 3?

No number 3 yet ...

Ive been told I can swap the wheelchair today so hopefully that will be ok.

I have also had my Occupational Therapist on the phone and she is going to pester the OT stores to send an engineer out urgently. Hurrah - its so nice to have someone on my side.

I had a wonderful lady go through my DLA forms with me yesterday. So thats now gone off and should be back in 12 weeks, if I get accepted I will also get back dated pay.

Its chucking it down at the moment - hope it stops before tonight!
