I have read everything available on the subject and that's the bottom line. I make small bits of progress and try not to be surprised every 6 months when the apartment maintenance people come in to convert the heating-air conditioning unit. Thank you for sharing how your condition progressed. I know I would be much worse off if my T didn't force me to leave the house to see him.

the two Ts are coming on the 24th, they are apparently not coming to help me get better or to sort out my past, it's accepted that can't be done in the community, but are coming in to support me through the stresses i have now... i am having to project manage adapting my house myself, am really struggling with the deterioration in my ability, struggling to cope at home and find/employ a new PA(carer) since mine went AWAL at Christmas, I am a director of a charity, we just lost a tender for delivering the personalisation agenda to the borough which we have been delivering for the past 6 years so are going through a difficult tupe with most of the staff and having to rethink our future services and to top it all the local busses have changed their criteria for which mobility scooters are allowed to travel on them so mine is no longer allowed so i now am restricted to scootering everywhere unless the train stations are accessible, so an outing which used to involve two busses (30 minutes and 1 bus each way) now involves 4 trains and two twenty minute scooter drives and takes 3 hours! and i was petty emotional the last couple of times I saw my S/W so she thought it would be helpful for me to have some one to talk to about all this because i have no family or close friends to support me.
I love going out, partly because i had 18months at home alone seing 1 person every 6-8 weeks to get me shopping and partly i find it easier to move around outside as my house is not adapted to my needs yet.
small bits of progress is a start so well done for starting to make progress x Take care x
