Assistance Cats what next.

Either confused or a WUM.

I think its when I fall, I weigh a far bit, and it scares them, they find the next best thing thats going to make them feel better, then they come back to me, thus alerts my mum or sister who may of heard a slight bang already.

OP, i hope someone is helping you with all of this. are your mum and sister ok with understanding paper work? do they have any mental health or learning disabilities?

it sounds as if you are able to get enough LHA to cover a 1 bed flat. you will have to accept that for the time that your carer is with you, they will have to sleep on the sofa bed, you really dont want to get yourself into a situation where you are renting a property that will get you into debt

the property you need, needs to be wide enough to get wheelchairs through the doors but i think you are worrying unecessarily about hills. unless its down a dirt track, you should be able to either use your wheelchair (is it electric) or crutches when necessary. use public transport or taxis if you need to. the most important thing is that the flat is suitable, has low thresholds and wide doors and is within 5 min drive for your mum

it will also be hard to find a property that allows pets, so your choice is that you either wait for a social housing offer, or you rent privately which will cost you more and give you less security of tenure

regarding things like grab rails and other minor supports round the home, you can get these yourself as they're not that expensive, obviously expensive equipment is different.

A guy from the housing options place is going through all of this, there is no hurry for me to move out of my mums place, she is happy for me to stay here till I am 90 if she's still around lol. It is all for privacy reasons...

My mum has mental health issues and is unable to work due to it. - Although she looks after her mum (my nan) and her partner, who moved into the area to be looked after.

About the hills, the hospital have tested this, had a specialist test and flat ground, I am stable about 80% of my steps, at just a degree angle increase or decrease my stableness decreases to about 30%. I have been hit by busses, cars, a bicycle. due to the hill, which I don't even know the steepness of it - but can get a picture of it... its where the flats are located in the area I live in.

I can create a "hill" and show you why I can't walk up hills if you like

Does anyone know what double jointed is, or suffer from it? I have this in my legs - which means my legs can't hold me for long, and I fall, this means I must be close to my mum/sisters who know what to do. They have repaired and fixed the double jointed in my ankles but they don't hold and rip and tare, its extremely painful.

My partner is double jointed, though he does not tear or rip anything that I know of. His joints all dislocate, sometimes for no reason and without any pressure. He can be sat down and then will say that a finger/thumb/toe/shoulder has dislocated and then have to put it back in. Unusual old problem just from collagen.

Sorry, I didn't really mean that.

The way the OP writes, he wants his mum to sit round all day in her house, just so that she can get to his place in 5 minutes in case he falls over (despite the fact that he's in a wheelchair)!

I'm afraid that I don't think he's genuine (and the cats are the final straw!).

And his sister!

I wonder how his mum earns a living (and his sister if she is not still in education) to allow her to be at the OPs beck and cal 24/7 sicne she dosnt get carers allowance and the add on that can entail.

I am severely physically disabled due to spinal injuries, I also have HMS and Aspergers.

I have read this thread from the onset and you are a troll.

There are so many porkies on this thread you can be nothing else.

Thats it, I show symptoms of double jointed, they thought I maybe, but first operation they done was an exploratory and they said that I am not double jointed.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kgpzmkP-9ig/Tk3dbLSsKDI/AAAAAAAAAGw/5tVoffzDET0/s1600/ankle_lg.jpg

I "roll" and fall over about every... 100 steps - more if I am on a hill, less with no shoes. The last operation they created 3 extra "ligaments" from one tendon, and had enough of the tendon to be kept as a tendon. My ligaments and tendons stretched and rip with every step.

Sadly I am only allowed a wheelchair for 12 weeks, and need to walk in aircast boosts the rest of the time, although hospital have made me special "forrest gump" shoes, but they look more like boots now with more modern tech.

Why do you say I am trolling, I have not disclosed my medical issues here.

They have only done it a few times. I think its more them being scared and going to the next safe thing - which I read as them getting help.

GlasweJen

You said you trained them though?

gaogier

Sorry, I know I said this, "I have 4 cats and a dog, who I have trained to get help/help me when I fall. Training cats was actually easy to get help."

Should of worded it correctly - and added more info.

I have 4 cats and a dog (the dog I have trained to get help and help me get up when I fall, he also gets the phone on command), the cats seem to be trained when I fall and they are in the are due to running off and going to either my mum or sister and "alert" them to helping me.

I mean if you have cats, scare them, what do they do? Mine go to the next "safe" person.

Mine go straight out of the window or behind the sofa. Mind you, mine are real cats.;)
