What have I become?
Just had someone here from Social Service and I want to cry.
Not because she was bad, but because she was understanding and helpful and a little part of me expected her to ask why I thought I was entitled to anything.
And because you never picture yourself like this, housebound and permanently exhausted.
And because she made me feel that I should be ( Read more... ) -
Holiday
It has been a while since I posted as we have had exams, an 18th birthday, visits from family, the delights of a long form for ESA ( cheerful stuff, listing all the things you can't do so the government will continue to pay disability benefit, followed by a wait to see if I need to drag myself to an assessment for work), a slew of dentist visits ( Read more... ) -
Apologies

Determined to write again
After a poor start to the year I have made a resolve to try and write some of the fics running through my brain.

Life has been increasingly lived upstairs, which makes going out difficult!
But I am getting better at accepting my limitations and focussing on the things I want to do rather than in ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
When I heard that Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, and Richard Dawkins, professional atheist, would be holding a debate at Cambridge, my first thought was 'James would love that, wonder if he could get a ticket?'. Unfortunately, my daughter made me watch an emotional film about a dolphin and my brain got stuck so I cannot think of ( Read more... ) -
Good news
Big sigh of relief when B brought post up to me yesterday afternoon. A letter from DWP about back payment for DLA as a result of my appeal. Now I feel rich briefly! But more importantly, it shows they do not plan to appeal the tribunal's decision.
Ironically, the battery of tests required for my referral to the new CFS/ME service showed an ( Read more... ) -
Awesome day
My birthday and I went to lunch then to a local National Trust place. Fresh air, beautifully scenery with the leaves turning colour and, of course, the obligatory shop!
When we got home the post had finally arrived - 3 parcels to open - and B had made me a cake.
Also, a letter from the tribunal service to say the appeal had been allowed - lower rate ( Read more... ) -
Tribunal
Bad night before today's tribunal, not surprisingly.
They asked the usual things with some odd questions. The doc was again focussed on how often I see my GP, as if frequent attendance=increased disability. Of course I waste my precious energy going to be told that there is nothing they can do!
They asked their questions first then if I had anything ( Read more... ) -
Smug
I got a favourite story alert on an old Stargate SG1 fic and ended up re-reading it. Is it wrong to think that it wasn't bad or should I be eaten up by angst and want to go back and re- write it?
