Hi @Denise1969
Welcome to the community! Would you mind telling us a bit about yourself?Disability Gamechanger - 2019 -
Is this your real name as this is a public forum? Welcome .

Yes, this is my real name ... is that a problem considering I use my real name on Facebook ?

Thank you Ami2301
I'm bedbound disabled with Severe Arthritis and Fibromyalgia amongst many other things ... I'm a mother of a teenage girl who has mental health issues.
Before I stayed at home to bring up my daughter I was a Secondary School teacher ... teaching English, Media Studies and Drama ...
I'm Scottish and fiercely proud of it !!! -
I'm VERY ANXIOUS today because a holiday charity through Social Services paid for us to go for a long weekend to a Haven Holiday Park, starting today ... So I will be leaving my home to go on every piece of public transport to get there ... in my electric wheelchair ... I'm scared stiff ... would value encouragement :-)

Scope encourages you to follow the guidelines . You have supplied several personal pieces of info already which is not encouraged here. Good luck with everything.
