A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

 

I am a 15-year-old girl living in Beddau area. I have lots of interests and I like all types of sport, but Rugby is my favourite and I like to go and watch a local game if possible or just practise throwing a ball back and forth. I love being out in the community if I am well enough and would like to go to the beach and stop for fish and chips. I Would like to go the Cinema in Nantgarw where we could play a game of pool and play on the arcade games. I have lots more interests which include swimming and shopping to Cardiff and going for a walk around Cardiff Bay.

 

I use a lightweight wheelchair if I am out and go on a longer journey as I have long term health needs including Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Pain and reliance on both a suprapubic catheter and nasogastric feeding tube which I manage both myself so potential PA would not need to attend to either. These conditions do impact my daily living, but I am quite independent and would like to go out and enjoy my time in the community.
