A lovely card in my favourite lovely colou...Hi Sue<br /><br />A lovely card in my favourite lovely colours of purple. I have 2 of the dies used so will give it a try when I'm back in craft land! The flower is very clever, I have had a sift through my beads to see what I have for stick pins and as the beading stuff is in the living room I could sit and do that.<br /><br />We had our walk last night, I padded my powerchair seat out and back brace on so was careful. We went on a nice walk but got out late due to us finding a spillage in the cupboard so instead of thd pub I went into the co op while Alex and the dog waited and brought some baking supplies. We made apple and oat cake, with tons of dried fruit and seeds, it was nice to be 'in charge' in the kitchen as Mr W is on a schedule in the evenings. I am feeling my powerchair ride today as the local pavements are very rough but it was worth it. Mr W came back recharged and happy after a 5 1/2 tench among his catches (he went course fishing this time) and got the TV to himself as I slept through this afternoons heat. It's just thrown it down with rain and is suddenly much fresher.<br /><br />Julie Laz, it is natural to be concerned about making the decision to use a wheelchair. Back in 2001, I used to destroy myself using crutches over distance. I'd literally go out on a Saturday afternoon and need a week to recover. Mr W and I had some steaming rows about it, I was 24 and very much in denial about my condition. He won it for me by telling me if I had a chair, I could take my brothers out places, they were 10 & 12 at the time and my Dad was very ill. The boys needed me to be able to look after them and take them the places my parents couldn't. A long story short it changed my life. I had more options, chair for long distance and for sitting in at the park or sea. I could then get up on sticks and kick a ball with them, we could go to football games or to fairs etc. Cos I wasn't so knackered I had more energy for them, for permitted work and for sport (which maintained muscle tone and kept me using my sticks for longer than expected). I had the odd silly person but I found that addressing them in my best bbc English soon made them think twice. You get the odd comedian (older men mostly) but I have found that nowadays people are so much more open minded. I found a lot of people in the disabled community to be lovely and very understanding to a newbie. In 13 years I only have had pure ignorance to deal with a couple of times. People will ask questions (they think they are being friendly rather than nosey!) But if you explain you use it as tiredness/ pain would otherwise mean you'd be stuck at home you'd be really surprised at how kind and understanding strangers can be. If shop assistants address your companion you reply instead, they'll think twice about doing it to the next person! It's a lot to get your head around, take time to get used to it but remember YOU use the wheelchair, the wheelchair does not use you. There are no rules saying if you go out in it, you have to stay in it, it'd be more comfy to sit in than most chairs too so you would enjoy yourself more when you are out. In 2011 when I got the powerchair it was an easier decision as I knew I'd been stuck at home for a year and I needed to be able to get out, it didn't quite work the way I wanted as I didn't forsee the disc ruptures but at least I could take the dog out every now and again! Good luck Julie and if you need any help or advice just ask honey. I am here for you. There are no silly questions, only silly answers!!! Super big hugs for you xxx<br /><br /> Will have to pop in a second here as I'm over my limit... bear with for a spot of cut and paste!Wheely Badhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05667393055551494088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016488341854847919.post-68976363440205831182014-07-31T20:56:01.233+01:002014-07-31T20:56:01.233+01:00Hi Sue,

Such a beautiful car...Good evening Sue and everyone<br />Such a beautiful card who would have thought that vellum would make such a difference, gives the card a really soft look, and the colours are super.<br /><br />Julie you have been through so much please don't let the narrow minded people win, they have no idea what it is like. Can I suggest that rather than go out in your own town where you may meet people you know get your lovely hubby to take you somewhere else in the car and give it a go, less chance of meeting folk you know, that is what I did to build up my confidence. You don't have to go too far the first time, build your time up and just think how proud your lovely hubby would be to have you go out with him. I once said to a physio how much I hated it when people spoke down to me or ignored me, her reply was just tell them you will regard their remarks with the contempt they deserve, it works and they have no answer either! Come on brave girl you can do it, we are all supporting you just think, what have you to loose? Nothing but you have lots to gain I feel sure you hubby will be so very proud of you if you try, and you will feel so much better for doing it. Julie just say to yourself, I can and I will.<br /><br />Great news of Robbie Pam he sounds a really strong boy and no mistake.<br /><br />Thinking of you Tina, I know just what you are going through, gentle but bug hugs to you both.<br /><br />Special hugs to Pam and Robbie, Lynda, Lindsay, Yorkielass, Steph, Norah, Tina and of course Sue.Margaret corgi ownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044940577122022288noreply@blogger.com
