Hi gang..
2020 is going better than 2019...so far..
I have the social worker coming on Friday, to check on how my new care plan is going.
Last year was a struggle...the hardest ever I think, since disability hit us...I say us..meaning hubby and me.
We asked for more help as we were at breaking point. We had stuff taken from the plan and just re-jigged..but we actually ended up with less!
I had to cope and accept it or have nothing!
But here I am ready to battle again if necessary.
I lost my respite funding as it was and have been told I have to go into nursing homes for my `holidays` now!
Gloria Gaynor said she would survive...and so will I!!!!
My nickname is Boudica..she didn't go down without a fight either!!!!
Wishing all my mateys here a good day!
xxxxx

Great positive attitude @pollyanna1052! I'm sorry 2019 was so rough on you but it sounds like you're going to put 2020 in its place!
Do you have any support for your meeting on Friday?
