Did I tell you that I am going on a cruise? No? Well, earlier this year, I decided that life is racing past and time is running out for me to go on fairly "active" holidays. By active I mean holidays which require me to be as mobile as possible. I can still put weight on my feet which means that I can be transferred (reasonably easily) from wheelchair to toilet and/or bed. However, due to getting

I have had a nice weekend, thank you! Have you? So far, I have not had any trick & treats kids knocking on my door and those fireworks have been kept to a minimum which is great. However, we have got the whole of next week to get through yet!!! There's not much on television tonight, so I might start writing something. Has anyone got any ideas on what I could write about? Any ideas would be

I use a POSSUM Companion Environmental Control which enables me to do various things, such as turn the television on/off, answer the phone and, of course, answer the intercom on the front door. When someone presses the intercom's buzzer, I select "intercom" on my Possum companion and a (male) voice asks who is at the door. If its someone I want to let in, I select door on the Possum at which

This is Faithie, my cat. She is five years old, but I have only had her for two years. Faithie is a resuced cat and was very badly injured. I am not sure what happened to her, but she had spent five weeks at the vets, before being transfered to the local cats home for another few weeks. Afterwards I spotted her advert in the local newspaper and, within a week, she had settled down in my home!!

Faithie, my cat, doesn't like fireworks. Coming to think about it, neither do I!!! When I was a kid, Dad (God bless his soul!) decided on one fireworks night to have a bonfire, with fireworks etc. Nothing wrong with that you would have thought? Well, everything was going nicely, until Dad lighted a Rocket. I was watching it go up, then it started coming down!! Me, being about 6 years old, didn't

Today my carer and I realised what sad people we are!! While I was sitting up in bed, a truck came and parked round the corner. Then we saw a neighbour come along. He and his parents (plus dog!) have recently moved into my road. Anyway, we realised that the chap is now working for the local council!! How sad can we get?!? Sometime later on, we noticed that there was a works van across the road -

Oh, what a wonderful few days I have had! You see, I employ three carers and two of them are off sick! This means that I might not be going to bed tomorrow and Thursday night, plus I could end up staying in bed on Saturday!!!!! This is one of the disadvantages of Independent Living. While I wouldn't have it any other way, I could do with less stress in my life! It doesn't help that I am trying

This is my first blog! Now that I am up and running, I don't know what to write!!! Oh well, I will think of something in a minute. Firstly, I would like to thank CP for inspiring me to become a blogger! While the Paralymics were on, I logged on every day to read her blog with avid interest. She brought back memories of hot summers in Ischia and of my days as a disabled athlete. I will tell you
