Written by our client

When Im not working, I enjoy being creative and love to crochet. I also watch way too much TV for my own good. If you can think it, I probably watch it, but my favourite show is Law & Order! I spend a lot of time at home, and my PAs need to feel comfortable with that. However, I do enjoy going out and doing things when Im able to and its important that my PAs are willing and able to help me with this. Some of the things I enjoy doing include going to the beach, for walks and drives, out to eat/to cafes, shopping, going to the theatre, hanging out with friends and family, attending family/community events, listening to live music and volunteering.
