When I was 22 I didn't think about health or life insurance and when I did land my first permanent job I tried to obtain it. Unfortunately by this time I had already had an operation and the insurance company needed me to be free of the condition for 2 years. Eighteen months later I was unlucky enough to have yet another operation on the same site. This is the result.
Now I fight so that the young ones can have a better chance of having what I could not have due to the fact I was ill. I didn't see myself as ill I just thought I have had a lump which has been removed and carried on working. Some days I wonder why I bothered to carry on working.
With the recession hitting everyone people are wondering if it is worth working at all or whether to go on benefits to try and claim everything that they can. Those that know the system seem to get everything and the "newbies" have no idea of how the system works and get put back to the end of the queue.
The phrase those that shout loudest comes to mind.
Last night I had Shropdoc out on a visit to me. Yes I was so bad I actually had to get a home visit. Normally we make the trek to the hospital and manage that way but last night it was impossible. I went into spasm from my neck down. I could not move my right arm, hand, back, legs or feet. The only things I could move were my head and my left arm.
I was given diazepam to ease the spasm and needless to say I was completely out of it this morning when Steve went to work. I didn't even open my eyes to say goodbye.
Steve even arranged for our neighbour to let my care worker in as he knew I would be groggy. The spasm has eased now and I am able to cope but I do worry as to what has caused this.
Never mind no point worrying just got to get on with things I suppose.
Best wishes
