..about out housing situation. Last time I 'reported' on here we had had a reply from out MP who was appalled by my description how we have to cope in our blatantly unsuitable house (re DS2's disability). He was going to contact the housing assoc.'s director. That was in early Dec. We have heard nothing since. I have contacted his office but appears they have not had a response to his letter.
In the menatime we have had another comprehensive assessment by a different soc. services OT and altered out requirements a bit (ie that we would be willing to accept a house with a downstairs room that we could make into a bedroom for DS.. and also widened the area in which wew would accept a house.. which is now a 35-30 mile radius) and this has all been sent on over a month ago to the HA. They don't respond to my calls though.. or actually, I don't get further than the receptionist.
I have done what everyone has been telling me to do for ages (people on here.. health professionals, friends, family etc) and emailed the local paper. Can't bring myself to contact the local TV newsdesk... too too cringeable. Am balking at the thought of the local paper etc round here.. but I can't watch Alex suffering anymore. We are ALL suffering.. but Alex can WALK with a walker! But there is no room for a walker in the house! He gets so frustrated and upset and being penned in between gates all the time.
She (lady at the paper) has just emailed me back asking for phone number (altho I HAD included it) but I have to do school run so will probably miss hercall.. bugger.
Will keep you posted.
