I live in a small village outside of Bath, England.
I enjoy life to the full, living each day as it takes me, but governed by my day to day health condition. The trouble with Huntington 's it doesn't automatically allow you to have fun and live freely, you live everyday individually not really sure how the day will pan out or how your exhaustion levels will leave you feeling.
My book is called "To love and help", living with Huntington's.
I currently have been diagnosed with a Nuerological Health condition called Huntingtons Disease, which affects the motornuerons in the central nervous system.
I carry the Huntington Gene first diagnosed nine years ago.
I qualified as an Assessment and Reviewing officer for the Adult Care Team, Social Services where I worked with people with complex health conditions and multiple disabilities, I gained knowledge of mental health disorders, safeguarding vulnerable adults, the legislation which goes along side such disabilities and peoples human rights. I was responsible for following the code of practice, policies and guild lines and procedures to ensure clients where delt with fairly. I have gained In-depth knowledge of complex health care and have a good understanding of health care and care packages based on peoples multiple disabilities and writing reports.
Through all my knowledge and understanding of health conditions; I am now facing a terminal condition which not only will affect myself, but my immediate family. I felt that because of the life skills and background knowledgei have gained through my working life, I chose to keep my health condition to myself for as long as possible. This took its toll on my health and how I chose to share my life with my family.
To love and help was written to help one person, who may read my book.view less
