So, NHS waiting times have dropped for the 4th month in a row. I don't think I'd ever go for a pint with Starmer but he's getting the job done not that the media would ever tell you... #NHS #surviving #disability

My #positivity has returned and I'm getting stuff done! Controversial, I know, but my #disability has been the making of me! #MS

I'm having a 'MS' day. Tired, grumpy, in pain, and dropping anything that can be dropped. Three consecutive days at hospital this week has drained me of spoons! Better days ahead... #disabilty #MS #spoonthepry #determination

So my #wheelchair was returned and, true to the word, the motors both work. Unfortunately they managed to smash one of the hangers and that means a foot rest swings uncontrollably - another repair call to lodge but at least I got to go to a Christmas market today. #disability

Still stuck in the house with a broken chair- Engineer now "knows" what the problem is but doesn't have the part. Should have it tomorrow or possibly Friday. #disabilty #housearrest

On Sunday my #wheelchair broke down when I was out. I got home with the help of amazing fiancée and a taxi driver. I had to wait until Monday to report the repair and then until this morning for the fix. Less than 30 mins later it broke again. Possible fix tomorrow... #disability sucks!

So my weight loss continues to go well but I've been forced to admit that it's time for weights to be lifted! My Bingo Wings are getting noticeable. #diet #disabled #workingonmyself

Today's Epic Waste Of Time... I lost sound on my monitors but it still worked on my headphones. Cue 30 minutes of plugging/unplugging cables, checking settings in windows, testing the volume on the monitors before realising I had missed step one. TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. Problem fixed...

I am finally on the closing stetch! After a long set of to-and-fro meetings my new wheelchair will be delivered some time in January. #disability #determination #results

In Finland, there is a rock that has been balancing on top of another rock for 11,000-12,000 years.
