The Muddy Care Blog
Muddy Care CIC is a community and it is a project of co-production. Thus, the participants needed to be involved directly from the beginning in a positive, proactive and collaborative way.
The Muddy Care blog is written by the participants of the mini pilot rehabilitation programme. From the very beginning the Muddy Care Education Team (MCET) felt the blog should come directly from the participants as a tool for communicating their voice. The MCET do not edit nor direct the contents of the blog in any way. It is published as it comes in, all the creative writing being that of the participants.
The MCET also wanted people to hear the participant voices in respect of them being enabled to do things that a lot of people, including some professionals, would expect them ‘not to be able to do’ because of their chronic conditions. This highlights the importance of seeing the person first and not the person who has ‘said’ chronic conditions, for example, a damaged heart, kidney disease and a faulty immune system. People with chronic conditions are people who have daily challenges, sometimes extreme challenges but above all else, they are entitled to live life to their full potentials. They just need some extra help and support to do that sometimes.
