A wheelchair-bound mum who has been forced to sleep on her living room couch and 'bum shuffle' around her home due to inadequate council housing has said she has been left feeling suicidal.
Danielle MacArthur woke up to discover both her legs were suddenly paralysed in October 2019 before later being diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder. The 27-year-old also has cysts on her brain and spine malformations.
She has been sleeping on her living room couch next to a portable toilet for the last three years and feels like a "caged animal" due to having to rely on her carers to carry her in and out of her home in Kilsyth home. The mum-of-one is also unable to get up to her young son Peter's room, reports the Daily Record.
