This is a personal log. It’s an account from my perspective. Some readers may know me, may feature in my retelling and may disagree with what I’ve written. But as I say this is my story from my perspective. This is how I see it and how I’ve come to terms with where I am now.

Pissed

Pissed.  Seriously pissed.  I’ve done everything I’ve been told since entering rehab! I told the staff what I needed and they told me how to go about it.  I told them that I needed to be able to drive.  They told me no problem.  They came up with the drive from wheelchair solution.  They even filled in the forms for motability for me.

I’ve previously mentioned the confusion over the branding of the chair.  I thought that things were now sorted.  All I needed to do now was put everything in writing and get the modification for the chair approved.  I was told that this was just a formality.

I sent off the email and got a phone call today telling me that the modifications cannot be approved.  That all such modifications are on hold as someone has taken up a legal case, I assume they had some form of accident.  

I don’t know where this now leaves me.  I explained on the phone that it was the Trust staff that directed me down this current route.  That it was them who filled in the paperwork and made recommendations on chairs and vehicles.  She's going to get back to me.  But in the meantime, my life again is up in the air!

To top things off I’ve had hiccups for the last 2 hours! Not happy!
