Well when we see you we'll be as helpful as we can without beeing annoying. It's easier for us because we grew up with our disability; no two ways about that. that said, I know how it can be to ask for help; and how unempowering that can be. Allways remember that because you give so much to the world, the vast majority of people are happy to help you when they can and when you'll let them. Helping you is a pleasure. You can do things that they would never dream of doing; but they can do things that you now dream of doing but need a little help with. If you ever need to talk to us about anything; feel free; we might not be the most simpathetic pair on the planet but we know what it is like not to be able to do something. Example we can't drive. That isn't the end of the world but it makes public holidays interesting. I'm glad you realise that you need a little help these days with average stuff; and I hope you can get the type of help you need. You're a great bloke, and I think we'd all rather we helpwith the mundane stuff so you'll have more energy to spend time bistowing your unique perspective on the world. I don't mean to sound as if i'm pssing in your pocket; but you are one of the 20 or 30 really cool people I have met over the years.
I don't want to give one of the 2 responses to your illness that you hate, so i'll just say keep fighting the good fight when you can; and when you can't we're all here to help. Feel free to screen my comments if they're harsher than you'd expect. I turn off all my tact filters when I write these; but can turn them back on by request. Take care, Kerry.
