I am a severely disabled full time wheelchair user. I'm doing an MA part time in English Lit: Creative Writing and love writing and reading.
I have 2 children a 24 year old chef, and a 13 year old daughter who has CP. She blogs about it too. We are both disability activists - her more than me now as I am older and was really 'busy' in my late teens, twenties and thirties. She has more energy than me - but hey I'm not that old really.
I'm active in my community, love healthy cooking, I'm on a weight loss and fitness journey - I've lost 83 pounds so far since Aug 2015 - much more to go. I love animals, films, theatre, music - most things really.
Thought I'd join this forum (again! I was a member in the months and years after my daughter was born before it was closed) to support others and make friends. Hello to everyone!
