[wmcforum]

These are difficult times for all of us. This Forum was set up to form a community, a bank of knowledge and a place where we can support one another because like it or not we all have disability in our lives.

We need to return to these values.

We, as moderators, will be taking a harder line on topics and posts we feel are not in keeping with the core values of the Forum. Some topics will be deleted and while we are not attempting to quash discussion, we are attempting to make this Forum a happier place, as right now, that is what we all need.

Good Day.

@Brydo I joined the forum just about three years ago & Brydo,JS, Pops and not to forget @winston, we’re all hear to help all of us. I Called it “The Family” Now after suffering a bleed on the brain and just recently started reading the forum I found it to be just like some family’s, some people have left for good, some don’t care what they write and harass other members who on the whole are just trying to help. I am now finding that at almost every turn of the page we have keyboard warriors who just want to stir he s**t up and argue because they can’t be held responsible !!! They are invisible ? This has taken me all day to write as I can only concentrate for a minute or so at the time. I will come back and read from time to time and see who got what cars. I am sticking with my Kuga as extended for two years to see if I will be able to drive again. Keep safe and BestWishes to ” The Forum Family ” you know who your are. BigBear.

A bleeding brain trauma here too and not recommend for anyone.?

Worst thing apart from its life changing aftermath is the thought of it happening again and now 12 years on I’m at ease with that now not having another one and with the right medications I think, but of course can’t be sure, that time will be my downfall just like everybody else.

My bleed was right side so has made me disabled down the left side and that’s confusing in itself without all the medical posh words for our conditions that medical experts use.

With the driving aspects your not allow to drive for at least 6 months after the trauma regardless if you fully recover in days or weeks if memory serves me and then you need your doctors go ahead to retain your driving license. All scary stuff when your freedom is in their hands.

I was told by medical experts at the time you can retain you license as long as you still have spatial awareness (odd because the way they drive today I don’t think half of drivers do have spatial awareness anyway) that and good reaction times regardless of any disabilities if any the bleed has caused and for myself meant they change my license from manual to automatic with steering aids.

Oh hang on, I’m going off on one so I will stop here but to Big Bear I wish you luck in this scary time if the virus was not enough.

PS I joined the forum about 3 years ago when I was looking for my current Motability car and time has come around again to looking for a new one but this old Dog never left the forum but perhaps some wished I did the way I ramble on.?

good luck to you both and i hope your recoveries go well.

its the small stuff that drives you nuts.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Very good thread.  I shall continue to post with a degree of humour but of course we need strong moderation of the forum balancing the rights of posters to express their views against the need to maintain harmony and the filtration of “extreme” or offensive comments.</p>
