Day 9. 24th November

True to their word, the team pushed on with my progress by taking casts of my legs ready for my prosthetics.

With any luck we could have them as early as next week. 🦿🤞
Continued my physio on the bed with lots of side-lying and stretching. Stayed very much on my side for the rest of the day in order to protect my bottom.

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
