A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a confident, sociable and chatty lady in my fifties living at home with my parents in the Tonteg area of Rhondda Cynon Taf. My main disabilities are epilepsy and a slight learning disability; I also have hydrocephalus which has not affected me for approximately 40 years.

The seizures I experience are semi partial seizures and patterns/auras in my eyes.

I enjoy my independence and making my own decisions but because of these disabilities my short term memory is poor and occasionally I need prompting or reminding to do things, for example remembering my purse when going out or putting the alarm on.

I have lots of interests, I’m computer literate and like working on my lap top. I enjoy other peoples company, being out and about shopping, swimming and going for meals.

I also attend the gym to do gentle exercises and monitor my progress butmy personal assistant is not required to participate.
