The 10th February was not only my Nan’s Birthday but also marked my 3rd month as an amputee. The last couple of months I have done a reflection/summary of what I have been up to and I don’t see that this month should be any different, especially as not much happened today. So what has […]

This evening I went to our Amy Cadet HQ at Waterbeach for the first time in months and months. I hadn’t been there for a long time even before the surgery and if it wasn’t for my Dad taking me there it wouldn’t have happened today. There was a purpose for the trip however, […]

The best thing I will take away from all the time I have spent in Hinchingbrooke Hospital over the years will be two new friendships. One of those friends popped round for a coffee today and it was so nice to see them. It was nice to see them socially and not with all the […]
