Thats right im going to be cured and get right out my wheelchair and be the same as everyone else
yes with a stroke of a pen .Someone is going to cure what even science can not cure , dam lazy drs why did they not think of that
Under the propsed PIP rules wheelchair users will no longer be entitled to help as apparentley now we have a wheelchair, we no longer have any moblity problems
This is despite the fact the nhs wheelchairs are not up to the job
I was informed by WCS that there concern is not how you cna mange outdoors they only need to make sure you can wheel around indoors
To catch a train we have to give 24 hrs notice and we can only catch the train at the time we have booked it for ( erm freedom of choice not ) .
So if we miss the train for what ever reasson then we could be stuck as they do not have to put us on it
oh and no arriving last minute we are expected to be there 30 mins before hand
Trains often have 1 maybe 2 wheelchair spaces on them .so if another one is in there or bikes or luggage or a pram chances are your be dumped inbetween 2 carriages
And dont forget all trains stations are not accessibile .ANd we shall advoid mentioning London underground
?Buses
Well that all depends are they accessible everywhere answer is no
Do they have a ramp becuase low floor not always good no
if they have a ramp will it always work or will the driver be willing to get out the seat to lower it no spot the theame here
will we try to board the bus and find out can not becuase a buggy in there YES
Cars
Now when your legs dont work this tend to cause problems with driving ,( check next time what people do with those pesky leg thinsg in a car )
So often moblity side goes for an adapted car with hand controls so we can advoid the above issues
Oh and we all know that the world or even the uk is exactly flat and smooth footpaths and proper dropped Kerbs no
Answer is the only flat smooth surfaces is inside shopping centres but you got to ge there first see above .
home manvouers
Now you want to try omething sit on a computer chair ask someone to tie your legs together and without moving them at all or putting them down get onto your couch .oh and dont bum shuffle or wiggle as thats cheating I can see you
then try repeating it back from the couch , This is the time when you pray your neighbour can not peep through your window and think you got into bondage
If they blush next time you see them consider they ahve seen you
if you mastered that one , now on the chair again grab hoover with both hands and hoover , well the 1 m reach in front of you becuase it is kinda tricky to move when you need both hands to do that , but you cant becuase your holding the hoover ( throwing it does not count )
phew after that you need a coffee or something pick kettle up in hand uhoh only one hand to get around mange it fill water balance carefully back to tap
yay empty cup well thats easy , fill cup with boiling water argh one hand thing again , try moving carefully
spill hotwater downself argh great not only does your neighbour think your indulging in bondage in the afternoon .Now you going look like you wet yourself
Bugger it grab bottle of wine stay stilll open aid bottle and have a drink and be greatful that you do not need to do every day
Now thats light hearted look and not even covered what it is really like but still think the new proposall to PIP are fare the cuts to DLA
