    Hi @Topkitten

    Mourning how about you doing today???

    Please come back to me if you are still having problems with getting around.

    Sorry but what type of keyboard do you use currently.

    When it comes to the “NHS”  I have got lots of “T-Shirts” 

    Please let me know if there’s anything else that I can help/support you with????

    Ty for asking @steve51. Not doing well at the moment. Yesterday I knocked something out of a cupboard onto a mug. I reacted too fast hurting my right leg  (bad one) and with spasms in my knee and hip, then I twisted too fast trying (and succeeding) to prevent the mug falling on my foot and my neck and arm are so bad I'm having to use a sling. And now, to top things off, I woke up in bed (3rd night using it after using a chair for 2-3 years) and tried to sit up to take a drink. Next thing I know I went off the end of the bed backwards and hit the concrete floor with a thin carpet over it head first. Thought I was dreaming until I woke up with my shoulders on the ground and the rest of me propped up against the bed like I was trying to backwards somersault. Currently long time wait ing for yet another ambulance as I might have passed out and my head, neck, arms, shoulders and right leg are all flaing high into the pain limit.

    Hi @Topkitten

    I am very very sorry to hear about your current problems.

    Did you go into the ambulance in the ????

    Yes the ambulance people/AE know me very very well.

    I have got a motorised bed/memory mattress.

    My wife must think I am at the “Fair Ground” as I am up & down when I get into bed.

    How are you doing today????

    I am here for you if  need a shoulder???

    Not really recovered but got kicked out of A&E with no ongoing investigation and without speaking to anyone other than Physiotherapists I've documented the full story elsewhere if anyone cares to look for it.

    This is my dream house! I wish I could run away and live in the woods, grow my own food and flowers, and make friends with all the wildlife

    Hi @Topkitten, just wanted to check in. Sounds really tough to not have been given the support you need.

    Hi @Chloe_Scope, I guess I just get used to being badly treated. I did at least have Reablement in for a few weeks but that was withdrawn when Social tried to get a Care Company involved but some silly woman whose grasp of English was severely limited tried to assess me over the phone and it has turned into a disaster. Reablement dropped out immediately expecting cover and here I am almost 2 weeks later completely unable to get the woman to understand anything I say to her. She disappears for days only to reappear with no further knowledge of what I need and then blames Social Care. Vicious circle. Consequently I'm not managing very well again.

    It must be really stressful for you @Topkitten. You deserve that support. Is support still not available?
