Don’t get excited people, it wasn’t the trip of a lifetime just a couple of hours out. First thing in the morning OC2 (my Orthopaedic Consultant this time in Hospital) came round to see me and asked if I had thought about the pervious days chat, I said that I had. He told me that […]

I consider myself quite unique (until someone proves me wrong) that I must be one of the very few women aged 40 to play video games. I’m probably considered a relative Grandma as a gamer but still play anything from Call of Duty to Lego games. In some ways I fell embarrassed to admit it […]

It’s all been rather quiet and I’ve mainly been recovering from the physio session from hell the other week.

I woke up this morning in a particularly happy and excited mood, it has probably been the most anticipated day since the surgery (bar rehabilitation and prosthetics). As I looked out the window and saw the wet miserable weather, not even that could put a dampener on my day. Unfortunately I had to wait until […]
