Bum...
totally spacking out now...both my mums MS Nurse, and Physitherapist have said that she should look into moving again, as a house isnt suitable anymore .....Meaning she needs a bungalow or something...which means im gunna have to move out if thats the case :S
(doubt theres such a thing as 3 bedroom bungalow's from the counsel/heritage)
It was suggested that mum n dad move the bedroom to downstairs, which would be helpful..but mum would still have to go upstairs to shower ...unless they can turn one of the outside rooms into a splash room...which is highly doubtful, unless we bought the house and did it ourself...which is...impossible XD
(basically mums too big/stiff to use the stairlift safely anymore)
she's really not too chuffed with stuff at the moment, she had physio on monday and found out that her speed has slowed down, apparently a normal physio patient will walk the distance in 15seconds, mum was taking 23 seconds? (when she was first diagnosed in 04 i think she was doing about 40 seconds..which is good....but last year she was at about 16 seconds so...meh) Also theyve noticed a MAJOR difference between her right and left legs/arms... like when she stretches out her left leg (lying down) it will be flat on the bed..but her right one is about 3/4 inches off the bench, its also noticable when helping her in the chair, she can get her left leg on the foot plates, but i usually have to hoof the right foot onto the other one...but, meh its what happens i guess..i seem to ignore the fact that MS is a progressive illness..where the muscles n nerves get weaker and not stronger, also it dosent really help when mum dosent try the excersizes..and like earlier in the year she joined slimming world for 3months or so, lost about a stone and a half, but has put it straight back on again :/ i know its not nice to think about people being 'fat' n stuff but..if my mum falls none of us can lift her without herting her or ourself..so we have to call an ambulance who thankfully have this slip under cushion thing that inflates and raises whoevers fallen over. (were working on getting one for the house) the other thing weve suggested is a 'panic button' not 100% sure how it works, but its like a rape alarm, but once the buttons triggerd it sends a message to the nurses ir ambulance people, and they can track it bac here to help?
ANYWAY enough of that
Expo's just around the corner..and i think im ready for it :)
not got much money in my pocket, but its enough for me to get some cheap grub/take-away and a few goodies if i go into expo ^^
hoping the weathers gunna be a bit dryer than it has been....a bit of sun would be nice (both for warmth and photo's ^^)
need to find a way of making komugi's jumper fit better, but i dunno how, also..i may have ruined my rabbit head by making an eye hole :/
but yeah, alls good ^^
Going to be heading to london on thursday mucking about in stratford for a while, and then meeting up with connie n co'
sooo...thats it for now :3
