Life is going to be a bit difficult in coming weeks as Mandy fell trying to get to the bank in Oswestry today, there are never any disabled places or even yellow lines where she can park but instead of using her wheelchair she set off with her walking stick which then slipped from under her on something on the pavement. She got to the bank with help from passers by and lady from the bank went to Mandy's car and brought her chair back so Mandy could make it back to her car. Then she had a blood test appointment at Holmes Chapel who had to get her in in their wheelchair, they took one look got the duty doctor and got her to Macclesfield hospital. The xray revealed several fractures and strained or torn ligaments or tendons in her knee, this time it's her 'good' leg which leaves her wheelchair bound. We had booked for London Friday but it's the logistics of parking there which make it wheelchair unfriendly as is virtually the who tube system. When you are really stuck it brings it home to you that the nasty people who are so anti disabled people abound even within the church congregation, bell ringers ect who have no idea at all what it is like to have mobility issues and the next comment I hear may well result in....( I've self edited but I'll let you use your imagination as to how we feel). I'm going to the standing committee meeting this evening, I'll do us beans on toast, I'm hoping that Mandy will have a go at a strong painkiller rather than bear the pain with paracetamol alone. We still have a lot of reinstatement from the decorating in the dining room, I'll try and get a bit done this evening. I went up to Carlisle and then Penrith, got two truck films out of it, understandably there may well be delays in service but I should be able to manage most things. Not sure what we will be able to do but we'll muddle through as best we can. Comments are closed.
