What is your life like in this room? Basically it's watching TV. I can't get any
00:09
shower, can't go outside and that's it. Basically it's just I'm stuck, that's it, I can't move.
00:19
Basically if there's a fire in the house as well I can't get out so I don't know how to do that.
00:27
So you really are just trapped in these four walls? I'm trapped, yeah. I can't do anything else.
00:34
And since April, so I believe about six months, you've been waiting to hear
00:39
something from the council about whether they can house you somewhere in an
00:43
adapted home. It would just be nice for somebody just to phone me and just tell
00:48
me what is happening and what they're doing because basically I haven't had
00:55
no correspondence with anybody and apart from my social workers being
01:01
trying to do this, do that, do that, I've just been, I've had to jump through
01:05
wounds. I've been like sending things like proving what I've got, where I used to
01:14
live and all that like and everything else. They've got all the details up, they must
01:19
have got all my medical records so they must know. You just don't know.
01:26
Basically I'd just rather phone and say I don't know and I'm done with it, that's it.
01:30
Because that's what it's getting to at the minute because I just, just, it's the worst
01:36
thing you can do is not hear anything, that is it. If you know something at
01:41
least you've got something to look forward to so that's it.
