Well after all your lovely reply s mum has booked me up for driving lessons again after covid stopped me before We are seeing the careers person on Tuesday to get some ideas .Then on Wednesday it's the dreaded breathing test I really don't like doing that so glad it's only once a year makes me so tired so will be asleep for the rest of the day but at least won't have to do it for another year. Last time I couldn't have the door closed in the glass booth às it freaked me out but will try and give it ago this time . Hope you are all enjoying the nice weather.

That’s good Pokermon, I’m sure you’ll be fine with the breathing test and can rest afterwards. Things are looking up for you, even the weather is on your side. Xxxx

Best of luck with learning to drive!

That's really good news Pokermon, great steps forward for you. Maybe some notes of your thoughts, questions or ideas to refer to when you see the careers advisor would help.Good luck with the driving lessons and with the lung function test. xx

Good luck with the Driving Lessons. I hate the lung function tests too!

They're horrible aren't they?

I would rather have a blood test than a spirometry!

I was a bit apprehensive about it beforehand but actually, learning to drive was the best thing I ever did. I’m sure you’ll love it , too 😊 All the very best to you for that and for your breathing test on Wednesday.

Good news about the driving lessons. I remember doing that. I was sixteen. I frightened the driving instructor to death. 😱 I hope the test goes okay. Just hang on and think , it's almost over and that really helps when I do it. xx ♥️

It’s great that you’re learning to drive- it will give you such independence! Good luck with the breathing test-I know it’s not a nice one but it will soon be over and I’m sure you’ll be fine. Take care 😊x

Wishing you all the best as you learn to drive. You will already be familiar with some of the issues of driving through using wheelchairs, so you've got a head start. And the Careers Officer visit should be more fun than when I went in the early 70s. Then, they just directed me to caring or shop work. I wanted to be a lighthouse keeper - no chance! 🤣🤣

Good luck with the driving lessons. Driving gives us so much independence. The lung function tests are horrid, like you I find them exhausting. I just try to say to my self "this too will pass".
