    The physio and support you need should be on the NHS….it make me so mad. 😡 I’m sure the powers that be should realise it’d save money in the long run to keep folk as mobile as possible for as long as possible…..along with all the other feel good factors that go with doing the best we can. They need to treat folk as a whole person and not a condition of whatever part of the body is affected. Right I’m off me soapbox now 😂😂
    I bet the fence will look great once it’s finished .

    Yes. I agree but I’d get lots of support if I had‘different’ kinds of difficulties.

    If the physio helps it's definitely worth it but as you say a huge part of your income is getting spent on your disability which doesn't seem fair xx
    I agree. Xx

    Totally agree with Milann- just don’t start me on hospice services being provided by charities in what is allegedly a first world country
    Agree too.

    That's such great news that your procedure seems to be working fine, and how lovely to go and visit DS.  Have a lovely girls night in.

    So pleased that the procedure worked, must be a relief. 

    Excited for you about going to see DS. Perhaps combine car and train to make the logistics work better? So drive to wherever you can get a straight through train and park there? It might cost a bit more but might make the journey quicker and less tiring for both of you.

    It’s all getting very complicated. Having trouble finding a B & B.

    Also there is no direct route which is part of the problem.
