Thursday evening I was shuffling along the bed to try and transfer onto my wheelchair, so I could go to the toilet. I’ve been using a commode most of the time but every now and then preferred to use the toilet. I got my leg laying along the edged of the bed when all of […]

I was excited about this morning, not about getting up at 06:00 but going for my casting.

Yesterday was physio day and I was hoping for no pain and a good session. Before I tell you how the session went let me just elaborate a little on the conversation I had with Lynne (my prosthetist) the day before. She mentioned that I have a very prominent tendon in the groin, again just […]
