Two steps forward.. one step back

I heard from my Occupational Therapist a couple of days ago she said that unfortunately that they wont be able to get me a disabled mouse.. i had really been looking forward to that :( She also said that i am getting my new Electric Bed sometime next week hopefully it will help alot with the pain in my legs and also getting in and out of bed it should really make a difference. Its only going to be a single one which wont be a problem as we can put another single one next to it for my fiance so we can still sleep side by side.

I got a letter from the DLA thanking me for my appeal and telling me to expect a response from them within 11 weeks.. *sigh* i have already waited 13 weeks from the original claim + 3 weeks more this is taking forever i hope they finally bother reading my appeal this time!!

Been having alot of pain in my shoulders this is because my wheels on my wheelchair are alot smaller than they should be they are 20" and they should be 24" its taken several weeks and finally wheelchair services are going to send someone out and give me some right sized ones.

I went sailing with the Disabled Sailing Club i really enjoyed it the sailing and got to go in a "Rib" and went about 25 knots it hurt like hell to begin with but once i got used to the movement of the waves it wasnt as bad.. However i ended up with lots of bruises and needed several days of rest afterwards.. sometimes its worth doing things though and putting up with the pain :-) I will defiently be doing it again!

Havent heard from my Social Worker about the Day Centre yet but i wasnt really expecting too as i dont know how long the queue is.
