MVOG Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 67-year-old lady living in Llantwit Major area with my pet cat, I have 2 daughters who visit me every week.

In my earlier years I was a single mum working full-time and attended university as a mature student to teach adults. I am an extremely independent person but since developing illness and being diagnosed with FND I have become reliant on carers to support and assist me. I can become anxious if my familiarity and routine get disrupted and I also have hyperesthesia with light, noises and smells. My personality is easy going with a good sense of humour when I feel at ease and contented. I am artistic and creative and love going to the beach.
