Not that many people know, but I am dyslexic and dyspraxic. I find it sometimes difficult to spell and to write grammatically correct, thank goodness for spell checker and my hubby who helps me whenever I am stuck! But I am in charge of filling out the forms as with our daughter I am her main career in terms of doing her creams, going to all the appointments etc as hubby works full time so it only makes sense that I do it, but geeze this form is so long and complicated and asks questions again but in a different way so you have to make sure to re word it to go with the question but at the same time not making any mistakes that sounds like you don't need any help.
It got me rather down today thinking of it all. Now I know ok, that my daughter is happy, she is intelligent ( boy is she! ) but thinking through it all, what limitations there might be on her, what processes we have to go through just for a simple day out or just going to the pool are well.. immense! making sure all medicines have been taken, creams put on, the right choice of clothing, a cushion if needed. etc. And its not like she has any food allergies! I'm not sure how other mums and dads do it! This is why sometimes I feel so helpless and.. lacking as a parent as I am not coping! then again this is one of the reasons why I made Eczema Support!
Blah! okay not thinking of any more government forms today, I shall finish it tomorrow if possible and get it photocopied so I know what I can write for next time! As I have filled one of these out before but last year! Suppose since Eczema etc changes that she could be" fine" this time next year... oh I wish! We shall see what happens this week though as we go for our hospital appointment on Thursday and our dermatology appointment on Friday! busy week really!
In other news i've been testing out the new Persil product and I am not overly impressed, scrubbed the solution into daughters school dresses and they are still grubby! and yet put it in with little man's vests, one not covered in food etc or chocolate ( like another one had been and been scrubbed and it hadn't all come out) but the collar had been stained a different colour, this colour had come out!! and I didn't even scrub it. Very odd and seems to be hit and miss but I shall keep trying it!
Play group party tomorrow, should be good, not to hot and some time out with the family before more form filling! all good really! Let the week continue! Please forgive me for the ramble as I need this outlet x
