:( number one!

Do any of you remember me telling you about the lady my MIL visits as part of her AgeUK voluntary work? The one who had been told she could work despite being disabled? She was mugged in town last week, in her wheelchair, was brutally kicked and they tried to take her bag, which was cross-body :shock: Well she was in one of the main parts of town but despite seeing a lady in a wheelchair obviously being manhandled and screaming nobody stopped to help :evil: :( :( Oh eventually one man did, a retired policeman apparently.......She was in hospital for a couple of days, big lumps out of her badly ulcerated legs where they had kicked her, a wrenched shoulder and extremely shocked and shaken up. She was in all over the weekend, and then when she got home on the Monday, that evening someone tried to break in to her sheltered bungalow, luckily failed but she was sat in her own home, on the phone to the police, scared sick :shock: :shock: :evil: Her cat was missing but luckily D found her hiding behind the curtains in the spare bedroom....

The poor woman is very shaken up, she has MS and various other health issues and the shock has set her back hugely :( D visited her yesterday for what was supposedly her last visit - they get a certain allocation of visits - but D says she will be going from now on in her own time, otherwise she'll be worried sick about her...........

What on earth is the world coming to? :? :( :( :(

Oh but on the bright side at least the authorities now believe she is incapable of work! She ahd that visit, they took one look at her, and decided what was already obvious, that this lady could no mre do a job of work than fly! :roll: :roll:

Pity it takes such an extreme happening to make the powers that be able to see that someone really is unable to work.

Oh my...that's absolutely dreadful! The poor lady :( And to think she was probably eager to get back to the safety of her own home after that ordeal :x

That poor woman.

I am going to have strong words with the Universe, it is supposed to look after people like her and not allow scum-bags to torment them!

Thankfully she is, to some extent, safe and well.

And a big Gold Star for D in continuing to see her "as a friend", thank goodness for people like her.

I nearly cried reading that Kaz. :(

To mug someone is, of course, dreadful.

To mug that poor defenseless wheelchair bound woman is absolutely beyond my comprehension. :(

I hope whoever done this rots in hell!

And nobody going to help her when this was happening is just so, so sad. :(
