Last Monday, a year a nine days after my amputation, they finally started work on the Wet Room. With a total of 6 people (doing various different bits for different lengths of time) and a few delays on parts they got it completed on Friday. We did have to call them out late Friday afternoon […]

I was told to reduce the Tramadol back to what I had been taking before my fall, which I did. I was really looking forward to going to bed and getting a good nights sleep. The bed felt lovely, the cool soft sheets, cosy duvet and plump pillow, I melted into bed. Unfortunately I didn’t […]
