Today has been a day where the only thing I could do was wait and hope that Herman had successfully resubmitted his bid.

If he did then I should get the news quite quickly, Frans was here on 15^th November, he sent his bid in right away, and he heard on 25^th that his bid won, he got the sale.

Then I heard the customer could choose the supplier, so I made my choice known, Agis informed me that while I may have the right to decide the supplier.

However because I see an occupational therapist, I could not speak for myself; my OT was the one to explain.

Brilliant, so because I am handicapped and see an O.T suddenly I can not speak for myself, what a thing, not really surprising as they are so sexist and discriminatory here.

So I should not be surprised, Maurits was the one to do the talking; this reminds me of when I worked as an agency worker at Euronet, I had completed a network plus course, my ambition was to become network engineer.

Euronet were looking to train up network engineers, my misfortune was to have a manager who didn’t think women could do the job.

He actually told me that men were born engineers; they had it in their genes, shortly after I got another IT helpdesk job.

I never got another opportunity then, this time I will not let myself get bullied by another ignorant bully like Frans

Support Urgently Needed.

Violaine

On Monday I was optimistic, I thought Maurits, my occupational therapist, understood that I urgently needed better support to sit in bed.

Richie and I showed him exactly where I need to be supported, when he left, Maurits was going to find a company that would help me with my support problems when sitting in bed.

Great I thought, until he sent me a link to a company that have cushions to help you lie better but had nothing to support me sitting.

I couldn’t believe it when I got the mail from Maurits, instantly I felt abandoned, not a nice feeling at all, especially when I need urgent help.

Seems that Maurits, hasn’t got a clue about where to look for support for me in bed, so, I have been looking for companies, which make such support, so I can sit properly supported in bed.

I can’t believe that I am surfing the net looking for solutions, when Maurits, has a PHD in Occupational Therapy, should be knowledgeable and be able to find the relevant company.

What is also incredible s that I asked for help to find a solution to my problems trying to maintain a good sitting position in bed and my therapist is looking for the opposite.

This leaves me feeling thoroughly unsupported; I hope that I can find a company that can provide me with this much needed support.

Support which would be wonderful as I am experiencing quite a lot of pain, discomfort because I can’t sit up, I constantly corkscrew and collapse to the left side of the bed.
