Feeling trapped

So ive been thinking about stuff these days few days due to talking to several people with in my team and it just cries out how trapped i feel. Pre-rheumatoid i was different i could go to football matches, i could go shopping, i could go on days out on holiday even at the drop of a hat i did what i wanted when i wanted i was maybe you could a sper of the moment kind of girl.

Now my life is so different i just dont know when im next going to have some fun, i try to think positive but deep down i feel so trapped in this small town were transport is shocking i can not even use the train station because u have to go over a bridge! The buses are just irregular and not great for the wheelchair anyway. I can not go/do anything on my own and it winds me up i have needs to do things like any one else, i want to go and cheer on my football team, i want to walk around the shopping centre for hours just because i'm a girl! I want to wake up and think you know what i'll take a trip to the seaside today because its a nice day no i can not do any of that instead i have to sit in these dam four walls and if im not in these four walls im sat in a stupid wheelchair unable to go/see what i want to do being "taken" by some one else .. what life is that? it truely is so fustrating.

Travel bug

So i was overwelmed to find out that British airways can take electric wheelchairs on there flights as well as manual ones in fact you can take two for no extra cost! Now i have a major travel bug, which no one seems to understand why or how! But this news excited me so very much and knowing my max flight time ive set myself up for research and the place i can go to and with the electric wheelchair maybe even by myself a lone traveler imagine. It feels like the world has been opened back up to me :D

adaptations

So things have started to take shape it feels like such a relief finally its getting done!

Thursday just gone i had a few things done the first is more cosmetic but highly exciting finally the red lights in my house have gone they are no more, i didnt like them much and now they are gone from my wall, very happy sight!

The second after having concreat ramps in place at the end of last year so i had no steps this was not satisfactory because of the fact of a lip on the door frame so on thursday i finally had a ramp put in place and i took my first steps outside my front door as an independant person alone IT WAS FANTASTIC i only went a little way i actually nearly cried! I finally feel as if things are improving ill be wipping round the place soon enough alone lol :)

Disney On Ice

Now i forgot to update on this day out!

I was up early and got ready and waited for my cousin, aunty and little one to pick me up. I was ready when my cousin arrived so we got in to the car and then off we went to the NIA. When we arrived we wasnt sure were we could be dropped off as a wheelchair user. So we parked up near the disabled parking. I got out the car and into my wheelchair with little one on my lap we walked around the NIA and was looking for the entrance for disabled customers it wasnt overly well displayed. Once inside the NIA we went up for the show we found our seats which were good.

Disney on Ice was excellent we all really enjoyed it. The princess's were amazing as well as the hero's it was so well put together and has equally made me excited about going to eurodisney in july. Over all a fantastic day out.

We then went to meet my aunty after the show and got in the lift to go back down and we urm got a little stuck, the lift didnt move we tried it twice and still no movement so we swiftly made out way out of the lift and used the other lift.

Disney On Ice was fantastic and i loved it as did my cousin and her little girl it was a really good day out and i look forward to another day out soon with my family.

With love
