This morning I had a trip over to Addenbrooke’s Hospital for an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Scan of my stump.

I know, the words inspirational and physio in the same sentence, hard to believe. It has been a hard week with the leg and yet again getting fed up with it. I found out on Monday that I can’t drive with it on, so need to try and sort the car somehow and the camber […]

I had been looking forward to yesterday for a while as it was the first day since the surgery that I was going out to do some photography. Every year Cambridgeshire Army Cadet Force has the recruiting trailer at the Army Careers Exhibition held at the Army Training Regiment Bassingbourn (ATR(B)). I missed last year’s […]
