Last Saturday I didn't get a bladder wash because the nurse did not order any.
Last Wednesday we went to The Deep although some residents had been to The Deep the week before. I was fed up of hearing residents say how many times they go out. Manchester Airport, The Deep, Bridlington etc. but for us in wheelchairs who are restricted. Our minibus is only set up for one wheelchair but it is possible to take 4 wheelchairs.

My Life being Disabled 04/07/08
Yesterday when I was in my bathroom my call alarm did not work. When I was having a shower the fire alarm went off so I couldn't call for help. After 5 minutes it stopped but my carers didn't come to get me out of the shower for about 30 minutes. I was very cold. They had been having a fire practice ! The electricians had to come out to fix the call alarm later. In the afternoon I watched Wimbledon on television.
Today I went to the computer room in the morning and after lunch I went to my bedroom to do my excercises. I went with a Life Skills co-ordinator to the library to change my book from Don Revie, a biography to William Roache, Soul on the Street, autobiography. When the librian booked it out she said "that was quick". I explained I had a short term memory but I'd picked this book because it was new. When we got back it had only taken 25 minutes ! After that I watched Wimbledon until dinner time. My physiotherapist should have treated me but she never came ? When I tried to call my carersthe call alarm in the computer room didn't work but luckily I carry my mobile with me so I had to phone the nurse on duty and she told my carers that I wanted to go to my bedroom.

My Life being Disabled 02/07/08
Yesterday I went out for 30 minutes to Grimrthorpe Park with one of the Life Skills Co-ordinators.
Today I was due to see the Physiotherapist on the plinth but the physio came to see me because another resident is using the room and she thinks it is her office.

My Life being Disabled 25/06/08
Yesterday the call alarm was not working and the electricians were working on it all day but they didn't mend it. Last night the nurse had to use a baby alarm so if I wanted anything I had to shout unless I lost my voice !
This morning I told my nurse about the call alarm and she said the electricians were still working on it.

My Life being Disabled 23/06/08
This morning my wife phoned me to tell me my son was injured playing Rugby League for Dewsbury Rams. He had got 25 stitches around his mouth and he might be out for the rest of the season. This afternoon I went to the library where I changed my Dickie Bird autobiography to an biography of Don Revie.
