I’m receiving care services at home for 3 hours per a week. It’s quite insufficient for me. But in May 2007, the local government (Suginami city) decided that’s enough for me until 2010, though my disability is progressing.
The home-care worker visits my home once a week. She cleans up my home, washes my clothes and dishes, gives me a bath and takes the trash out. I’m living and working with the smell of rotted raw garbage, feeling itchy all over because I can’t take a bath.
Now, the home-care worker who visits my home is very highly-motivated person, so I must content with the present situation. But there are various home-care workers. There are home-care workers who snoop into my privacy, steals someting in my house, and doughts that I’m posing as a disabled. Actually, I had bullied by one of them, and I’m considering she was a cat’s-paw of the local government. If I made a peep with the suffering that she caused or she could “find” I was a deshonest reseipt of the services for the disabled, the local government was able to succeed to cut in walfare.
There are a lot of problems. As a general rule, we disabled must accept the home-care workers that the local government dispatches how they are bareful, ineffective and unfaithful until they assaults us. Sometimes I feel my life is not worth to live because I can’t live without care.

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I am disappointed that governments such as that of Japan are treating the disabled in such a manner. I am also disappointed that people would take advantage of someone who cannot fight back. You may be able to stand or walk a short distance, but yes, it is too dangerous. You may fall and hurt yourself severely. Starting this blog is a start that may change the way things are. Keep fighting, you may be the beginning of a change. Good luck and I hope the medical community can find out what is wrong.

Thank you.
I think so too it’s very dangerous to stand and walk, but I must drink water, eat some food and go to a restroom.
This blog is saving me. I have the another blog in Japanese language and have written the some contents. But most of Japanese consider they can’t fight city hall, so my struggle is only smared and sneered. But I’m writing this blog in English, and this will be read by hundreds of millions of people, while Japanese language is read by at most 100 millions of people (and almost of them are Japanese). I’m encouraged by the positive responce like you gave me.
