Sleep well.

Hi Barb, i came across your post by accident and a very big coincidence  I am the owner of www.ableize.com i'm a spinal cord injury wheelchair user, if there is anything you think is missing in the site let me know and i will try to add it, I know the importance of carers and have tried to cover this in various categories, some are here http://www.ableize.com/care-and-care-homes/ I did add a carers support category, its somwhere amoungst the 427 categories

Thanks for that Scipilot, Ableize is a fantastic site with so much info.
I spread it around a bit when Barbsy first posted it so hopefully you would have had a few views from that too.
This forum is quite new so I'm looking forward to seeing it grow and offering a nice place for people to come to.
Thanks for joining and for all your help with letting others know about us.

Yea but your a woman 
I'm in Harwich and was in (the old) Stoke Mandeville hundreds on years ago in 1976 at the age of 16 was in there for 11 1/2 mnths under Dr Nusaby (probably spelt wrong) I believe he is still there, we parted not on good terms but thats a long story that i shall tell one day when i have more time.
I work at a DDA access auditor and travel all over the UK doing site visits then write up the reports from home, clients include BP, E-ON, Office of the Dep PM and too many others to remember. I was out of work untill around 5 years ago then qualified as a DDA auditor and have never looked back, the work is very knackering though, somtimes doing up to 16hrs a day but i'm taking everything while i can I work in partnership with my wife and that seems to work very well.
www.ableize.com came about after i was struggling on the net to find some disability info so decided to gather it myself and get it all in one place, it takes up a lot of my time but I am also a web optimiser so see it as a sort of hobby, I also run two other web sites.
I think your forum here is a very good idea and one that will get very busy i'm sure, i'd be happy to create you a small banner and locate in a carers section of ableize to help drive more traffic your way, i also have a few other iron's in the fire where i could list you to up the anti as it were, i'd do this in exchange for a text link at the bottom of your sites footer or header. Give it some thought. 
I will be popping in from time to time as this forum has a good feel plus i'm also nosey and will later start a discussion thread on why so many carers and nurses end up marrying their ex patients, so watch this space. 
Pixie thanks for your kind comments.
