Really don't know what other BB provider I'd like to go to as I really have had good service from them over the years.They are the fastest in this area I get 13.7 whatever they are called speed..there is no fibre network here until 2014 and sky around here looks like they are getting 6.9 in the streets around me so not very good...guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens when it goes over to sky

The community therapy services came today and have ordered a few bits for me to see if they help...I really want to be able to have a bath but she doesn't seem to be able to help with that but has ordered a showerboard for me to trial and thinks I'll benefit from grab rails but doesn't want to put those in until we get the bathing right so that they'll be in the right place...I'm to trial a bed aid to help to see if that helps getting out of bed and another couple of things to help.
They should be here in a couple of days and then next week they'll hopefully show me how to use them.

that sounds really positive, I have a thingie on the side of the bed, like a upside down u, with a piece of metal running down the middle, straps to the base of the bed, its a godsend, as I can use it grab when I need to turn over and also get out bed, as got a double to myself had one on each side.

grab rails are helpful, we have some at back and front doors the difference they made is unbelievable.

Glad there all coming next week, sounds like everyones on board. xx
