Discovering Terri’s Story With BlueWing
In this episode, we dive into Terri’s Story With BlueWing, where we explore how personalized support has transformed her life. Living with vision impairment due to Retinitis Pigmentosa and Cystoid Macular Edema, Terri is a shining example of resilience and determination. Her journey emphasizes the importance of having access to the right resources and support to live safely and achieve personal goals.
Life with Vision Impairment: Understanding Terri’s Condition
Navigating Daily Challenges
Terri faces significant challenges due to her condition. She describes her vision as “tunnel vision,” explaining that while she can see during the day, her night vision is severely limited. In 2007, after many visits to different eye doctors, she received her diagnosis. This experience highlighted not just the medical hurdles she faces, but the emotional ones as well.
The Role of BlueWing: Support Beyond Expectations
BlueWing has become a critical resource for both Terri and her husband, Stuart. They rely on Georgina, their support coordinator, for everything they need. Whenever Terri or Stuart requires assistance, they know they can reach out to Georgina. She adeptly navigates the complexities of government agencies and ensures that their needs are met without adding to their stress.
Bathroom Modifications: A Significant Milestone in Terri’s Story
Overcoming Home Challenges
One of the most significant changes in Terri’s Story With BlueWing has been the modification of their bathroom. For a long time, Terri faced difficulties due to an outdated bathroom that lacked necessary safety features. After months of coordination between BlueWing and the NDIS, they finally received approval for the renovations.
Terri shares how grateful she is for these modifications: “Now I have grab rails over the bathtub for safety. I can get in and out more easily.” These enhancements have dramatically improved her daily routine and allowed her more independence.
Achievements Through Support: Celebrating Progress
With the new bathroom modifications in place, Terri now enjoys a level of independence she hadn’t experienced before. While she still requires some assistance, she can manage most tasks on her own. “I can shower myself and get out without needing help every time,” she says proudly.
This newfound independence illustrates how dedicated support can lead to significant progress in the lives of individuals with disabilities. It reflects BlueWing’s commitment to empowering clients like Terri.
Gratitude for Ongoing Support: The Heart of Terri’s Journey
Terri expresses immense gratitude for BlueWing’s support: “If I don’t hear from Georgina, I know she’s working hard for me.” Her experience with BlueWing isn’t just about receiving services; it’s about forming a partnership where her needs are prioritized, and her voice is heard.
