T.V. debut

-
It started out as an ordinary Sunday, which is usually lounging around eating crap waiting for Columbo to come on (as you do). Then before I knew it Sunday Brunch was on and even though I don't really watch I though today looked like a good show (Craig David was on).  For those who don't know Sunday Brunch has a feature where they ask people to send photos based on the theme if the show and this Sunday it was festivals.

At first I wasn't that interested as I was think along the lines of music or film festival and we hadn't been to neither but then someone sent in a picture of them at a school fete and that got the cogs moving!!

Out came the phone and I tweeted a picture of Zaynah at the Foodies Festival.


After sending I honestly completely forgot about it until about a hour later when I was giving Zaynah a bath my mom screamed "that's Zaynah on telly".



It was very exciting for us all except for Zay who couldn't care less.

Its a wheelchair holiday

We have always been fortunate to be a family that holidays annually. I don't smoke, drink alcohol, eat out very much (approx. one), and I don't drive, so a week away in the sun is what I spend my money on. It used to be a big family affair with about 8+ of us going together but over the last few years, after COVID, the numbers have dwindled. This holiday would be different because I'm not able to walk for much distance or pain free, so it's my first in the wheelchair. Off we went to sunny Tunisia. Me, mom, The Gruesome Twosome and Bettie (the wheelchair).  I was apprehensive because of all the horror stories you hear about issues wheelchair users experiences. We once went on holiday with my brother in his wheelchair. The flight was delayed and it seemed like an inconvenience to arrange a lift to bring the wheelchair up. There was a lot of huffing, puffing and eye rolling. It was a very disappointing start to the holiday and made us feel uncomfortable. We spent the whole...

Not very routine.

The last time is saw my neurologist was 2018 and I was supposed to have annual appointments so he could monitor how my symptoms have developed. However due to COVID seeing DR's was getting very difficult, so after constantly leaving requests for appointments with Dr Hayton's secretary and getting nowhere, I went to my GP in November 2021 and got them to refer me. I wasn't expecting an appointment straight away but defiantly within 3 months. No, when it finally came through in August 2022 it was for the 13/01/23 so it would have been 5 years since I was last seen. Since then I had started using a walking stick daily, due to may small falls or twists to my knee I had developed a bakers cyst behind my right knee and I needed to chase up my speech therapist referral. I continued to wait for my appointment but then on 28th December 2022 I received a letter advising it had been change from 13/01/23 to 13/12/23. I think it was the fact I had waited so long, my bakers cyst had rupt...

TNA Family

Zaynah started at TNA, under the principal Miss Tia, towards the end of 2020. They were based in Digbeth which was ideal because it was local to me. So we used to walk it there and then I used to go up the road to moms studio and wait for her to finish.  At this time I was walking unaided but still a little wobbly so this was a perfect location. Zaynah enjoyed commercial dance which was probably because she had attended Sticky Toffee street dance classes before TNA, for about a year from the age of four. First TNA Dance. Towards the end of the year Miss Tia saw the temporary closure of the dance studio due to COVID.  The lockdown wasn't in affect yet, but there was no mingling, so they couldn't have an audience for the Christmas show. Classes still went ahead via zoom, which was good and bad for various reasons. They had worked so hard for the show and we were sad nobody could go a see it. They did however broadcast it via zoom but like with the classes it had some down points...
