Hello,
this is the first forum I have ever joined, I am not currently a carer but cared for my daughter with severe learning difficulties for nearly 42 years untill her sudden death in 2006, I saw some of your posts and could relate to them, I guess we all share some common experiences with our special people, love to join in if you will have me.
I admit I still rant about Social Services and lots of other things that I encountered over the years and still keep in contact with many of my daughters friends and their carers.
Annie

Thank you for the lovely welcoming messages, I am gradually working my way through the posts, happy to share any knowledge I have gained over the years.
I have seen all sorts of changes since 1964 when my daughter was born, on the whole the attitude towards disability has improved immensly but there is still along way to go.
Carers do at least get some help these days but by no means enough and we must do all we can to improve that situation,
Annie

Hello Annie I am a newbie as well but have been made really welcome as I am sure you will be. I am carer for my daughter - since the age of 17 when she was disabled through an illness - she will be 33 this yr. You may hear me going on about weddings - this is because she is to marry probably next yr so i will probably bore you all when we start to organise this.
Sorry to hear about your daughter - how sad for you and what a shock it must have been. Hugs and xxx to you Pam

Activitie not started yet Annie as the flats not ready yet - then hubby to be needs to settle himself in first so watch this space. Sam (Nads fiance) coming up on Good friday for a week so we have one or two plans for over the Easter weekend. Not too sure about the Buxton Raceway on Easter Monday though - they have given it to be very cold I believe. Pam

Pam,
meeting the inlaws eh, he is a brave man, enjoy the weekend, the first time myyoungest son in law visited Julie had a strop about something and he nearly ran out. He grew to love her though and spoilt her shamelessly.

Sam has been before several times Annie - we get on very well. Nad also goes down to his home and both sams mum and I take over the care they need when we have them so it works quite well. Only one strop as yet - from sam - well more of a panic really - lolol because we didnt take his wipes with us when we played taxi into town for them. Nad and sam compliment each other I'm pleased she has chosen him as we have had a rough ride with nad at times she's had some right fellas.  Pam
