We left Clinic 9 at about 12:10 and I met up with a friend who works at Addenbrooke’s (and fellow Adult Instructor with the Army Cadet Force) for lunch. It was lovely to see her and we managed to have a nice chat, our time was up all too soon though and I had to […]

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 […]
