[QUOTE="Roach70, post: 2593677, member: 553602"] Many thanks for your kind message. The DVLA revoked my licence recently for eyesite reasons (I had quite extensive laser treatment in both eyes to curb retinopathy) so I am stuck at home more than I was previously used to. Walking is becoming more difficult because of osteoporosis so I need a stick now and cannot bend to reach toes etc. In the last couple of years I've had 3 pretty severe hypos which forced my wife to call for an ambulance. These were all late evening. I have a raised seat and grab rail for the toilet. I can't get out of the bath without a struggle so have become reliant on deodorant! I know that I should be writing this all down on the form but it is very demotivating. Perhaps when Age Concern talk it through with me I will get some inspiration! [/QUOTE]
