BLOOD TESTS AND ASSESSMENT

Well the woman from the Council is coming this Tuesday to see if access can be done for me or whether I will have move. I do need however to see the doctor, I feel as if I am imposing on the telephone.

Now it is Thursday and the woman came and went [useless] and her recommendation to her Manager is going to be that adaptations could not be done to this house and therefore the only option is to move to either a ground floor flat or a bungalow. Of course big mouth here mentioned Alan's ground floor flat, but we can't go there because of the dog, [bless her] that being one reason among many, so we have only one option, that is a bungalow.

This brings along two more problems - there are very few empty ones and those that are empty are in areas we don't want to live in and become members of the ethnic minority. Also when I asked her if there was any help with moving she said no, the thought of the logistics of moving has brought on another relapse, I am now finding stairs a 90% challenge whereas before they had rated a 50% challenge. So unless someone in the MS department knows of help I can apply for we are left facing a large bill for the packing and moving, when we get somewhere that is, we could be waiting about two years!

Don't you agree with me that the local authority are saving thousands by not doing any work and so giving me a moving grant to cover my costs is not too much to ask?
So now we are waiting for the outcome in writing. Once we get that we can say we want a bungalow and start the search hopefully with Medical Priority
My GP told me aswell, after consulting with her colleagues and MS specialists, that the bladder spasms are part of MS and can't be controlled with medication [thanks I really wanted to know that it would be with me for life]

The next treatment is on Tuesday when I see the vampire darts team again.
