Trouble is, I can't do up buttons, hold scissors or a pen, pick up small objects etc etc etc

I feel a twit having to ask mr missy to help dress me. I'm resorting to elasticated waists on trousers and t shirts for work with slip on shoes.
I'm still at mid diagnoses. This diagnoses was given in November and I'm still waiting a treatment plan. I was promised physio and a Neuro appointment, but nothing has been followed up. Doesn't help that I can't actually make a follow up appointment but have to ring on the day and hope the GP I'm seeing is on duty that day and actually has free slot.
Luckily my work colleagues are very understanding and take over the fine work which I can't do

The problem is that I still insist on wearing thongs (flip-flops to you) or bare feet in the shed or garden. The first I am aware of a problem is a trail of blood through the house or on the back patio.
What can you do?
