Just thought I'd say hello. I live with my mum, my mum's parents and my uncle, who is tetraplegic and has been since I was born. I do 4 weeks per year paid care work for him, but every day I do what I can to help him. This includes giving him drinks, opening letters, helping with certain computer things (putting CD's in etc) and being his sole carer when the rest of the family is out (no more than a few hours). I also have a visual impairement. Just thought I'd post to say hi .
