Merry Christmas

I didn't get back to say what ruined my day last blog, all I will say DWP and the ignorance of one of their Staff. So in brief:

  • Am I still disabled or has my incurable condition gone away?
  • What job can I do (even though I injure myself reading)?
  • Do I use a wheelchair because their are two people in her office in wheelchairs?
You can't begin to imagine how offensive that is.  Then to be told that they would call me back on a regular basis to see if I had got better and could now work.  My condition means that I can only get worse and it is a full time job just managing it to keep my injuries down.  The absolute worse thing ever is I love work and like physical activity; indeed I used to use do some thing physical to relieve stress (not that, it's causes injury so I can only do it before I go to the physio).  Anyway I have no way of relieving stress now that's why I blog: even though it hurts my hands and neck I use it to reduce stress.

There I hope that covers that !

Anyway even though y pain levels are super high I wanted to pass something nice on. If you have Kids check out this Website it is free and will give you a family memory that will stay with you for life.  It is the PNP (Santa's Portable North Pole). 
Get 3 photos of said child ready to upload (some at special events of past year, Birthday, etc), ten follow the instructions and your child will receive a video message from Santa.  My daughters face as she nodded at everything Santa said and when he said she knew she wanted a Hamster even though we had told her she couldn't have one (obviously we were getting her one, I don't want you thinking that this was a militant Santa); her face when Santa said that will carry me through my next few months of pain and remind me why no matter what my condition bring I have reasons to live.  Anyway you can do these for naughty or nice and for all ages so the adults don't have to miss out.

A Good Mood Spoilt

Now I may sound like I a grumpy old fart (which of course I am) but I do have happy days.  On December 1st was such a day if not a whole week.  My wife and children had decided they wanted the Christmas tree up and although the l had to leave all the lifting for my Son still had a role to play in putting the tree together and sorting lights.  Now before you decided to worship  me I did not create a tree it is the same artificial tree we have used for 14 years.

Sorry I digress.

Even though I only took a small part in this activity I was left in bed for 2 days in a lot of pain I didn't mind.  I didn't mind because even though it was a small amount of activity for such a lot of pain I had something to show for it: unlike when I injure myself putting my socks on and only have a pair of socks need to get someone else to remove.  I was very happy and content that I would be soon celebrating Christmas with my family around me and no amount of pain can spoil that.

So What Did? I will complete this post in a day or so when my body allows or sooner if anyone leaves a comment asking me to. that won't happen as I think there is only me reading it and I won't leave comments for myself that would be sad!
