Uniforms!!

Its funny, I haven't talked about disability for ages,
this week I am full of it!
I have been talking about uniforms for carers, 
its another one of the things I really HATE!
As I have said before, 
any agency that insists their staff wear a uniform
when taking me out, does not get my business.
A lady a lot older than me said it makes her feel as though she is an inmate of an asylum, and not safe to be let out alone!!
The one time it happened to me I could see the people in the street looking at me ---horrible.
Carl, in his article, said he hated going out in the evening with a uniformed carer. More like a warder I think!
Disabled children used to be taken out in blue buses,

that no longer happens, so why should we still have to put up with the indignity of "uniformed warders".

Nik and I go out in many different outfits, 

comfy clothes if we are going to the park,

or formal clothes if we are attending a function.

People often think she is my daughter, 

I explain that she is my companion,who will help me if I need it.

Think about it, 

companion is a much nicer word than carer,

 

maybe one day,

we will all have companions.

Sometimes we just have to wear crazy clothes!!!
