Part of the condition of having Parkinson's Disease is a disturbed sleep pattern. Basically I'm dozey in the day, and wide awake most nights.
I eventually managed to get to sleep last night (oh, the irony) at nine o'clock this morning.
Just before ten.
'Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong.'
'Hello, we'd like to offer you this personal invitation to our church.'
'Er..no thank you.'
Then I a got mad.
Telling them that because my movements are impared, especially in the morning, until the first lot of drugs kick start my brain/muscles, it makes it very difficult for me to get to the front door.
I asked them if their God would come and help look after me, if I'd have fallen down the stairs?
They didn't have much to say after that, except was I sure that I wouldn't take one of their printed invitations to salvation?
I'm still really angry.
If it was Muslims doing this, there would be uproar.
How dare someone invade my privacy, pushing their chosen lifestyle?
I think I might pop round to their homes late at night, and ask them if they've ever considered unnatural sex, and if not could I possibly leave an invitation?
I can chose to opt out of telephone cold calling, offering everything from loans to broadband. I wish there was a telephone preference number I could call to opt out of being bothered by the salvationists.
