Re: Advice we cannot use-DebG

[Guest guest]

when people including relatives do that to me these days I just nod and agree

and go oh yes right well I am doing what my physio says and shes happy with me

then ignore what they have suggested when I know I have already tried it and

know it wont work. I have also begun to not give out everything thats happening

all the time to my aunt shes the one whos the pain so I just dont say anything.

So far its worked

I mean it sometimes puts you into a tricky situation but I usually can get out

of it like this I am doing a study course part time to finish it before end of

june one part of it is to complete a senior first aid certificate (in Australia

this is) and anyway to make life easier for me it was arranged that myself and

one other person who is also a wheelchair user would do the course together in

my lounge room every fortnight til its finsihed probably at the end of May.

Anyway so I told my aunt that I would be doing first aid tonight but i dont have

to go anywhere its at my house and she was like why is it there? well first iof

all I find it difficult to use the toilet anywhere but at home second theres

transport issuesa third theres issues of getting fatigued going somewhere before

we have even started the first aid. All of which she would not understand the

taxis are expensive and Jeff would have to get off early to come with me plus

the difficulty with the toilet it was so hard to expalin but her answer was oh I

see. and that was it. She doesn't understand why I am doing the course I am not

doing it for its usual intention not in the same way anyway, I will do what I

want to do with it and show her it probably wont be easy but I will get there

somehow.

I need to do the same thing it would be less stressful than trying to explain to

them when they don't believe it anyway.
