🌍☺💞Wow what a brilliant morning ... my OAP bungalow in Hayes like a United Nations hub.. so much going on with my International Family Link ups But also attended this Age Platform Europe conference from Brussels..sat on my sofa in my pjs ..oh how pandemic lockdown changed things to zoom all over ..at home!!
💃🕺🏋️♀️🏋️♂️🚴♂️🚴♀️ I love the presentation on the REBELS hhhhh the rebel elderly in care homes demanding rights to holistic care and taking part in planning.. creating resident councils ..whizzing round on mobility scooters to canvas and listen to others requests & needs.. Getting voices heard for living in dignity in older years...UP THE REVOLUTION! But folk forget we are the generation that fought for dignity & freedom to express & fight for rights.. Hippies from 1960s now with prosthetic hips ..lol .. so why shouldn't we take part in our quality of life in older years and remaining life..? In this is the right for our carers to get support in supporting those of us needing intensive long term care from chronic conditions..
The question to be not only how are you today but what would you like to do today? One woman bed ridden answered would like to see the clouds... when her carer laid her own head on the pillow she realised ..that you could not see out of the window... so the bed was adjusted so they could see the clouds ...
