About Flash and this blog. Archive for the ‘ Politics. Why loading the dishwasher makes me afraid to open the mail. Fear of Brown Envelopes – a state of anxiety caused by receiving a dark manila DL envelope, with a return address of the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP). Many disabled folk are also scared of being “reported” – programmes like Saints and Scroungers. For that, you need to consider the difference between Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and the newer Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

Lisybabe's Blog: Medical Complaints
http://lisybabe.blogspot.com/2013/10/medical-complaints.html
Yes, I'm well aware "Lisybabe" makes me sound like a teenage girl. But I was when I chose the handle and it kinda stuck. This story was in the news yesterday. I've never written online before about what actually happened to my mum. I've mentioned that she had died. If my aunt's GP had sent her straight to A&E when she presented with chest pains 5 days earlier, it's possible she'd still be alive 15 years later. Of course she just as easily might not be; but it's possible that she would. The reason the sto...

Lisybabe's Blog: Death
http://lisybabe.blogspot.com/2014/12/death.html
Yes, I'm well aware "Lisybabe" makes me sound like a teenage girl. But I was when I chose the handle and it kinda stuck. I've lost 2 friends in the past couple of weeks. First there was Tracey. When people with OI die; everyone breaks out the snowflakes. It's become a motif. Stella hated it. When a mutual Facebook friend of ours died in October; Stella posted the following status update. This weekend a young woman with OI that I only knew from Facebook died. I was really sad to hear it. I didn't ...I und...

Rolling with the Punches: A Call to Union
http://loopys-rollingwiththepunches.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-call-to-union.html
Rolling with the Punches. Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice saying 'I will try again tomorrow'. Friday, 1 May 2015. A Call to Union. Post written for Blogging Against Disablism Day 2015. Scroungers, cuts, unfair tests", how dare anyone treat us thus, people cry. Incapable, unfit, inferior", this is how you make us look, others despair. Pain, misery, poverty", why do you refuse to see? Welfarists, pity seeking, anti inclusion", this is what you have become, some accuse.

Lisybabe's Blog: Pics or it didn't happen
http://lisybabe.blogspot.com/2015/01/pics-or-it-didnt-happen.html
Yes, I'm well aware "Lisybabe" makes me sound like a teenage girl. But I was when I chose the handle and it kinda stuck. Pics or it didn't happen. Today I coughed, and then I screamed in pain. It's now 9 days since I wrecked my shoulder. I did it on Boxing Day. On the 27th I managed to escape from the arse-end of nowhere and get back to London so I could go to my local A&E. It really wasn't much better. But I didn't bother to shout after her and correct her. An MRI wouldn't show us any more detail than w...

Rolling with the Punches: April 2015

Rolling with the Punches. Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice saying 'I will try again tomorrow'. Sunday, 19 April 2015. Wow Well this year has been rubbish! I've been offline for most of it so far, barely making contact with anyone either on Twitter or Facebook. As anyone who is mostly housebound and who relies on social media for a lot of their day to day social interactions knows, that is not a good sign! Although there are still extra issues compared to normal. The foll...

I’m taking you on a journey through chronic illness. With me? 8221; You scream at them that they don’t understand, but they don’t hear you. You rattle at the door handle, and nothing happens. You know the truth. I was going to write a paragraph or two explaining this post, but I don’t think it needs it. And I don’t want to...You are comme...
