STUCK !!

Two more places that I got stuck today.. and this is not another toilet story!!
I parked at Lidl ,over the way from the Salon Eden, where I have treat each week. This week a pedicure including a leg leg massage. This is with the Brilliant , kind  Becca. I had my treat but when getting back in the car, the steering was locked. I realised that when getting out ,I had had to use the steering wheel as a support and thus had locked it. Didn't know how to unlock... so with the prospect of Lidl fining me me for too long a stay, I had to get out the Nissan Book, wade through, until I found the page to learn how to unlock steering. Sorted , eventually , I got the car started.!

Next stuck moment. I had to go to Morrisons to get pics for new driving license...( must be done asap or I will loose license, also have to agree to assessment each 3 months... no prob with this ,as I should have adapted car very soon)... So got into seat for photo. Had to adjust seat to eye level... could Not get up!! Called to person ,who kindly got a member of staff. She not only got me up and out, adjusted seat and then waited for me to finish getting pics, then got me out again! I said .. do say how wonderful you have been to your supervisor, and thankyou so very much for your help and kindness. She said , I am the supervisor! So I said, do say thank you to yourself.!!!!

How kind people are. I had not realised how wonderful people are and how difficult things are when you have a disability.For instance: I can't cross a road in the time a light allows you. I always wave and say thanks to drivers who wait. And no-one has ever been cross of agitated... thankyou so much to everyone who is so kind.
Kindness is so necessary to people with disabilities, and makes living with such difficulties possible. Without such kindness from people I will never ever know, I don't think life would be possible.
There are those close to me, who help so much, and I truly thank you so much, but the kindness of strangers is amazing and, actually so unexpected and so necessary.

We, people with MND, are struggling and it is the whole world of kindness that makes life bearable and possible.

Today I have had  come to terms with the fact that I need to use a wheelchair in the house and that I can't get out of the house without help. Big Big steps to take on emotionally, as I'm sure you will understand.

I've had a great evening with Tony, an ex colleague, but today has been very very hard,and despite the ups ....the downs are hard to come to terms with.


HUG ME, I'VE GOT MND
