british rail weymouthreally need to have a word with themselves

british rail weymouth really need to have a word with themselves. My latest experience was this. Went to the stationon my mobility scooter to catch a train to Poole, because my leg was hurting and my bags heavy. They refused to lock it in their compound saying it was for staff bicycles and skips. Not disabled peoples mobility scooters and that they would NOT change the rules.... See blog posts, you tube, facebook and press for more info....

Meh

hello. not been blogging much, mostly because I'm very stressed and worried about something I'm not allowed to blog about, at the moment. I actually feel sick...

There's good stuff too though, I recovered from my torn cruciate ligaments about twice as fast as expected and am doing physio again. I've got an awesome trailer for my scooter, and a ramp today which means one person can get it up the steps easily. This is awesome because I've been feeling very trapped.

Anchor staying put at home were here Friday re: a permanent ramp and I had an OT visit yesterday. She agreed with me that stairs crutches are the most risky part of getting around for me and stairs the riskiest part of that and something to be avoided wherever possible

Right, off out on my scooter, looks like a nice day

Back Home!

At last, I'm back home with all the benfits and challenges that entails. My mate Dave has lowered my bed and fitted handrails for the toilet and bath which is awesome. Got lots of unpacking and LOADS of sorting out to do, guess I've got the time and til they sort me some ramps I'm pretty much stuck here. (Rob managed to get the scooter down the steps and in, didn't fancy leaving it for long at the top of Chavelhay steps...)

I can't thank Sarah and the Greenhill crew enough for having me. Especially Swa for looking after me, it was a brilliant part of my recovery. Thank you all again.

So my first night in my own bed in more than five months, mental. Those stairs are a chore though, have to go up and down on my arse, they're a bit scarey. My legs still throbbing and knee very sore from the fall. Seeing the consulant tomorrow so will find out how I'm healing and if I've damaged the rebuild, ooeer, fingers crossed...

So yeah, good to be back, lots to do, hope tomorrow is good news watch this space...
