I was assessed today, by Telephone, I don't meet the requirements for extra assistance, despite my heart. lung, breathing troubles, Diabetes , peripheral neuropathy, retinopathy (I'm going blind), I'm a stroke victim (at age 35), epileptic, Asthmatic, I have falls too regularly, depression, PTSD, I have problems walking, I'm afraid to leave home alone, to name just a few of my troubles and disabilities,

Ok I don't need any help,

I'm so glad I'm coping so well !!! 

And when they DO eventually amputate my lower legs, will I need help then ??? 

Of course I DO consider myself LUCKY !
