Day 12 - 14 27th -29th November

A very quiet couple of days that saw me feeling very flat. With it being the weekend I had no formal therapy sessions scheduled and that, along with my being confined to my room made me feel I wasn't doing anything constructive. However, on reflection the chance to rest and heal is also an important part of this process.
We have covered a lot of ground in the first fourteen days. I'm sure that the coming week will re-energise me and see even more progress.

    Embrace the peace and quite, chaos is coming in the form of Christmas and Uncle David! Until then I can recommend a number of epic Netflix shows if you want xx

    i agree with our sam allison take the time to get mentally and physically ready because they certainly strike me as a unit that has a full programme planned for you - all good though picture the activities scheduled on the project plans you develop so well and that gives you the clues on whats to come .take care , keep going and you will be home before you know it - get it done and get home cos we all miss you loads - the 59 crew xx

    Don't let the quiet times get you down, use them to let your body heal and reflect on how far you have already come in such a short space of time, you are doing brilliant Allison, just believe in yourself and you will be fine ✨💜xx

Well what a busy couple of months! Having returned from honeymoon, we just kept up the momentum and packed in a load of activities from concerts to comedy shows, day trips and overnighters, disability exhibitions and research groups.  All the while we kept saying to each other “ooh we must put this on the blog” or “ do you think people would be interested in this?” But before we had chance to start the next post, we were off onto something else! This all sounds really quite grand doesn’t it but it’s not quite as hectic as you might think because in between each activity is a recovery period where I’m incapable of doing anything other than sleeping. My energy levels run out very very quickly and I constantly work on a Boom and Bust cycle. Then there’s the build up and preparation for the next challenge or adventure.  After being fortunate enough to still be here after my brush with Sepsis, I felt I had a responsibility to raise awareness of being vigilant for the signs of Sepsis. I also

  And it seems that, just like that, I’m a married woman! Well, not really just like that  😂 …looking back on it now, there was a huge amount of planning and preparation involved but when you’re in the middle of it all you’re just ticking off things on the to do list. We did take a little trip just before as light break. We had tickets to see James Norton ( Tommy Lee Royce in the fantastic Happy Valley) in the play Little Life. I knew very little about it or the book from which it was taken but, after all, it was James Norton. I can’t praise the writing or performances highly enough. All round it was fantastic, but something that constituted part of a “light break “ it certainly was not. *Spoiler alert* It deals    with some dark themes including rape, self harm, grooming etc but I hadn’t anticipated the main character becoming an amputee. After three years I thought I had come to terms with my own experience. But having it played out in front of me,I have to admit, I found it very di

March 2023

 Hello all. Just a very brief update this time ( don’t I say that every time?😂) March is a very special month for me as it is the month that I was discharged from hospital, finally coming home after almost 14 months . Inevitably, that anniversary always makes me reflect on the massive changes that homecoming brought and my progress in that time. It’s 2 years since my rehabilitation in my home environment started proper and I can’t help feeling that I should be further on than I am, doing bigger and better things than I do. We took a holiday in Fuertaventura and we spent a lot of time talking about it. I say it’s 2 years since I came out of hospital but David says it’s ONLY two years since I came out of hospital. I’m obviously a little more impatient than he is. And as we realised, there we were on a foreign holiday discussing what I should and shouldn’t be doing. Somewhere I could never have seen myself being when I first came home. So what’s holding me back? What’s preventing me from
