Julie has had declining health all of her life, she's in a private rented house and there is nothing suitable on the social housing front, she is trying so hard to keep herself from falling apart. The council also will not fit a stair lift for her, because the house has been deemed "not adequate for a wheelchair user" there is also many repairs that need to be done in the house, but the landlord will not do them, so this is not meeting the council's demands. She has the following conditions-
•Fibromyalgia
•Osteogenesis imperfecta
•Osteoarthritis (she was diagnosed at 35)
•She has had a reconstructive surgery on her leg, as her foot had completely turned to the side and now she needs a knee replacement.
Her personal washing facilities are upstairs. She also has her Autistic daughter living with her.
She didn't want me to film her crawling up the stairs, so she can keep some dignity, but it's honestly heartbreaking to watch.
