“They made a wet room for me so I can shower for myself. There’s a tiny little step to keep water from flowing out of the bathroom. The floor is better, it’s less slippy, and the seat pulls down so I can sit, ‘cos I can’t stand up and wash myself, ‘cos I lose balance. It’s very good for me, ‘cos I’m independent. I can do it by myself, and go in to the shower. I don’t really need help now. I need the odd help if I’m really, really wobbly, but apart from that I’m alright.”

“Every appointment I have, I put in my phone, ‘cos I’ve not got a very good memory. It’s with us constantly, there’s music on there when I’m travelling and it’s my log so I can keep up to date with things, and make sure I’m at hospital appointments, appointments at college, and social events. I keep in contact with family if I’m on my own somewhere. If it was an emergency, say I did miss the bus or something happened and somebody had to come and get us. I’ve got numbers in there ready.”
