BAD BADD 2nd May
I AM INCONSOLABLE.
IN ATTEMPTING TO ADD AN UPDATE, I LOST THE ENTIRE BADD POST.
I DID NOT SAVE IT ELSEWHERE
I CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHERE.
May 2nd Update (see 19 - Quotes below)
Post Posting Editing Postscript:
The post for BADD was written during the neuro toxic drug down days. Today, now that the drug is clearing my system, I see that it is more negative than I feel today. So to celebrate BADD I now also celebrate the Good. Thereafter the BADD continues.
It is a glorious spring day and its May Day. I live in a lovely part of the world, and I can sit outside and enjoy it. I live in my own home and I live in a country where, eventually, the state will provide. I have a low, but guaranteed, income that is just sufficient. My expensive drug regime does not cost me anything. My mortgage was paid off by my medical insurance. The Motability scheme has sourced a government grant to enable me to have a wheelchair accessible vehicle. All this I have time to enjoy on good days, because I do not have to be in paid employment. I know it is not as easy for many people with impairments who live in this disablist world.
BADD CATEGORY: Personal Journey
Just pulling out a few threads from the tangle ... and hanging them on the Goldfish's categories.
AND THERE IT WAS: GONE.
Postscript: Now here it is: FOUND

This was great Sally, even if it was drug-induced. :-)
Gosh Sally you really have it covered from every angle. I think it's okay to tell it how it is, but I understand how you can read something back and know it was medication or pain or exhaustion affecting your thoughts. I found these thought-provoking vignettes.
Great post. You highlighted the many aspects of disablism very well. Thank you.
Thank you guys.
Goldfish you are amazing, very well done, an inspiration, and greatly loved.
David, good to meet you, good writing, thanks.
Seahorse thanks for stopping by.
"... I can't get the words right..."
Oh, I think you got them exactly right.
Thank you NTE ... everyone, go over to her BADD blog please, excellent writing of a too common experience.
Unflinching. I think that's the word.
Or a longer phrase your blog reminded me of:
"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
The motto of every crip, should be. It's obviously yours.
Thank you so much Charles.
I feel that life in a disablist world is relentless, that I have no choice. Goldfish and BADD bloggers and blogging friends are essential accompaniments. If you all can keep on keeping on, then so will can I.
Never mind Sally, the feedback should convince you it was a good contribution!
BTW I have had an email returned - have you changed your address?
Thanks Charles, the feedback will be saved well away from Bloggers clutches !
No I haven't changed my email address, but something odd is going on. I am finding all sorts of odd messages telling me emails I have sent are 'truncated' or delayed. I will email you and if you haven't responded in 24 hours I will send the St Bernard out.
Blogging Mone - I did get your email without any problem - thank you very much, and for your understanding.
Everyone - Blogging Mone's elbows are a pain, as are her medics !
The German system she is battling with could teach the NHS a thing or two about NOT putting the patient's needs first.
Sally, I read it and it was ace, so don't worry...
Thanks Katie, your's was so brilliant, it inspired an replacement BADD post !
