A phased return to my dyslexia work Phased? gawd lol heart attacks: after living with hypothyroid and type 2 diabeteas and dyslexia piece of cake

Me on left 6 months ago just after my heart attacks and stents. Happy to be alive and kicking but feeling weak as a kitten. On right me with one of my new t shirt designs about a month ago

I am recovering well so far taking my bob martins and going to the gym every week walking often etc. Being a very good boy lol. Difficult to escape cardiac issues when both my mum and dad had heart issues. Sure had my wild musician days but I never smoked cigarettes or eaten to much crappy food. 

Over the last few weeks I have been writing a new business plan for Dyslexia Pathways CIC phew its been hard work. Had a little support from Brag which has been fab. The first draft is nearly completed apart from one section. I hope to get this done by the end on this week. Then just the hard job of proof reading.

I decided it was time to make an application to Access to Work funding again. The last time I enquired about this with the DWP the hurdles to jump were just to big. They were more of a hinderence than a help.

This time they have been much more supporting and helpful. All the application has been done and I have had an access to work assessor come to interview me today. Now its just a question of waiting a few days. I was very stressed I have little trust in the DWP. Didn't claim any benefits because of this.

Hey hey got myself a new business mentor which is fab. Fisrt meeting with my new mentor in a couple of weeks.

Its been a while but I am slowly phasing myself back into my dyslexia Uni work. I have started my dyslexia support work again at Heriot Watt University a couple weeks ago working two days a week.

I have been editing  Dyslexia Pathways CIC web site which is nearly completed. I know its a bit basic but I have endeavoured to do what I can accessibility wise within the constrictions of Wix web sites.

What we really need is a fully accessible site. Like everything else its funding. I have completed stage one for funding through the Transform foundation. Fingers  and everything else crossed it goes well. I just want to make our site more accessible dyslexia friendly.
