Moo.
Very happy with myself at this momment. Was stuck in thinging about night stuff, so told Ian I needed a distraction and to take me out for breakfast, We did, it workes for me today. Just very tired now and probably will not read your message tonight until tomorrow... sorry
Hope you do something different today and give yourself some slack. Please tell me about it. Give your wife a hug 2.
Thank you for asking about me. I have a long time to get my shit in place so there is stff happenign but Iam much lucker and better than most people. I am amazed at how you have been dealing witha shit load in a small space of time. It does seem like you have been able to give your kids and wife good memmories of now. This is important and you really should recognise that this is a brilliant gift you are continuing to give.
NDIS has been good for me. Most times, just slow. Have some one come in not every week but every 2 or 3. They let me push myself, also I am physically fit, just overwheight and the cabbage is not good. Because had a very long time to adapt I have been able to put stuff in place. I am lucky we can afford stuff. Never gonna go hungry, always have a roof and good family and freinds. Much better sitting then most people. Also lucky my brain works best in the morning so can get things done easily in the morning, less in the after dinner.
The biggest thing for me NDIS helped get as assistance dog trained to stay when seizures happen, it knwos when I'm acting strange so will take me to somewhere safe or another person. After the brain storms it is there so I don't panic. If I do start to panic and on the floor it will sit on me like a heavy blanket, which calms me down. NDIS helped with some things like lid openers under the kitchen cupboards. It helped me get a cargo tricycle that I can carry my staffy in a box at the front. The tricycle is the best bit of kit ever or me other than the dog. They trike gived me fredom and exersize. I can ride into town and do tings for me, I can spoil me, I can be selfish and I don;t care it doesn't hurt anyone else.
MDIS helped get a seizure alarm that detects shake n bakes then sends a phone warning to people with a gps. Helped me get some blue tooth tracker coins for all my shoes, so if i wander people can find my by their phone and will give a warning to other people if I go out or a yard or into the farm next door or neer water.
We have stairs, have fallen down and broke arm and some bit of the back (not bad, but enough to be scary), so helping put ina lift.
The big fight I am having at the momment is the dog is old and needs to retire. He needs a life 2 having worked and been on guard for every day. Because I am not an armed forced vet eran i amway down the list which annoys me off because being selfish my needsare more. Also they cost about $40k to about $60k and take 2 years to be trained with me. So really annoyed off it is a long time wiat then train and to be at risk while a veteran is less at risk (just being selfish).
NDIS heple d with little things like timers for outdoor hoses, so if i forget the back yard doesn;t flood. They didn't help pay for, but recommended in induction cook top oven so that if I forget something it doesn't keep burnign like a gas or elements cooker. It turns it self off by itself. They helped change the house haylogene lights to led so they don't burn if I forget to turn them off and go away form the house. Lost of little things that have been good. I don't need to worry; worrying is not a freind.
NDIS helps pay for the buss to appointments in town. the local council transport service a nd taxis. Trans ort os a big problem for me here, suspect for you too. so make sure you keep this in your shopping list with them thy help with my samsung pad for reading they helped with paying and gettingto swimming and fitness classes they help with occupational therp and sycholog and neurolgs and genie and other doctors can get someone to helpwithgardinifneed.
