WE ARE PEOPLE WITH A LOBATIMY.
There’s nothing we can do about it.
This I hope, explains why we loose skills we once had, such as walking, writing and, in my case, touch and audio typing.
So when it comes to housing costs, that’s why we do need certain items, such as new wheels for our wheelchairs, Zimmer-frames and scooters.
This also includes certain flooring. I assure you, there’s no fun in kissing the floor because we’ve fallen over, especially when there’s an object like a desk or chair in front of you.
This usually happens because of foot dragging, which we cannot stop.
To give you more detail, Multiple Sclerosis means that I’ve got holes in my brain, which is why I compare what is happenoing to me, to being lobatmised.
It’s why I also cannot write or work anymore.
I also buy books aimed at children who need help with speaking, as there’s only a certain number of classes I’ll get, regarding speech therapy.
I appreciate that adults are concerned when they see me in the children’s section of a library, but I assure you, it’s because I want to look at the books that help with speech.
It also hurts that I’ve lost my savings but I have to get things immediately to live with my condition, which is why, along with loosing other enjoyments I used to do, such as going to the theatre or opera, I have no choice but to claim Universal Credit (UC).
So please don’t be rude to us, or use the disabled toilets, as we have no choice but do this.
I have to wear adult nappies, when I’m outside my dwelling. To get the nice ones that look like everyday underwear, I have and do, pay privately for them, from my benefits.
So please cut us some slack, life for us isn’t black and white but shades of grey, without the excitement of the 50 shades novel.
Light and Peace
Andria.
