Its All Go...
The house has been measured up for a new front door, it should be installed within two weeks.
The tree surgeons have arrived and are felling two trees in the back garden that have been there for approx. 60 years.
Someone was coming to measure the property for new internal doors and the new toilet and bath. Turned out that was an error. Its been done a few weeks ago. Having mobility issues a shower might be a better option but I may have to be assessed by Social Services if I want some thing different to a bath. Not sure why because in this case a shower is just an alternative to a bath and many decide to go for a shower these days.
A quick chat with social had them admitting that they may only wish to give extra handrails etc or gadgets for the bath that are really a waste of time. Like one of those boards that go across the bath what you sit on etc and dangle your legs in the water, whereas my Housing Association may be more inclined to allow me a shower or adapt the separate toilet and bath into one room converting it into a wet room but if they'll give me a shower instead of a bath perhaps that will do. Then I could avoid any contact with them. Even if I can climb into the bath now, its not so easy to get out. I am not a fan of social services having seen the hassle they caused Mum when she was very ill and dying, if I have to have a bath, I can use the sink as an aid for getting in and out as it is so near.
As the bath is being replaced it seems easier to do such jobs now whilst they are being replaced and I am likely to become worse physically in the future. Makes life easier for me and saves additional costs at a later date.
Why do they make life more difficult than it needs to be? I will have a word with the person who is measuring up and see if he can sway things so I can avoid going through Social Services. I said I'd think about it but they still took details about me...I meant to book a Dr's appointment for today but with all that's happened its too late but my Dr is in surgery on Monday morning.
Oh and now my gardener is coming back to get the garden in shape over the weekend. At last! He called earlier today for a quick look.
