I don't right *now*, but I will later in the year (when winter hits), & they accused me of lying in my assessment & saying I needed it indoors all the time when I don't - but I never did say I needed it indoors 24/7, I said in winter and poor weather I used it indoors, & that I would need to do so more as time passed, & that I need it outdoors full-time. So they're essentially accusing me of getting an indoor/outdoor powerchair from the NHS under false pretences, & punishing me by trapping me in my home unless and until I can clear it up sufficiently that they think it is accessible enough to get the new chair around in every room. Yes, really every room, despite the fact that I've been sleeping on the sofa for months & that I shouldn't take the electric chair into the wetroom anyway. I was so angry reading that letter I actually shook.
Now, onto a slightly related but more pleasant subject, great to hear I get to keep you a bit longer this time :D also, Beth came up today & roped Char into helping us out with some cleaning & clearing out while they were both here - this was before I got the letter. So the hall closet is much tidier and lots of plastic wrapping & cardboard boxes ended up in the recycling bins, along with my broken vacuum cleaner, & one can now see floor & wall in the closet. I worked in the library, mostly, & got rid of lots of unnecessary old papers & boxes & bags, & it's now possible to (a) sit down in there, (b) reach the window without climbing over loads of stuff, & (c) stand on actual floor in front of said window. But ye gods, my back is killing me now. I'll have to beg my GP for extra Oramorph first thing Monday morning... =/ As for the charity shop thing, I thought I'd already agreed to that the last two times you brought it up, lol... *hugs* It'll be lovely to see you, whatever happens, & I have more Armitage audiobooks for us to enjoy while cleaning :D
