Welcome to my blog. It varies how regular I write posts here. I sustained a 'Traumatic Acquired Brain Injury', and a six month coma from a 'road traffic accident' whilst cycling, in October 2006. I spent the following 4 years (22-26yrs old), in a combination of hospitals and rehabilitation homes. Now, I have been living independently in Surbiton, England since October 2010. This blog begun life in December 2010, as i realised that there are many people worldwide that i want to share experiences with. I know that, as a wheelchair user, I am obviously not as mobile as i wish, so, use the internet to connect to you. I enjoy letting my thoughts represent through type. I type honestly. As numerous readers, as well as email recipients, will understand, I find typing to be very therapeutic. Thank you :)

Strategic typing...

Hello, I type tonight, as it is the first night of no Euro 2012 competition. No football to distract me. On the subject, I've been talking to my French friend who is happy of his national team requiring less rest now (pre-quarters), because the route allows for a longer rest pre final. Hmmm.

Sorry, i may have bored most people off, but it is IMPORTANT!

A positive note to follow this news, explains the number of things that i have learnt, whilst away in Paris. I was amazed by myself having a large level of self-confidence.
I noted that it was clearer to see other people's reaction to a wheelchair user. People first experience things through the eyes, see a wheelchair and think the worst. I enjoyed seemingly amazing people, by not only speaking sense, but in French! It is a sad state of affairs, but generally people are amazed by the sense i talk, if they make the effort of paying attention.
I've never been the most confident speaker, but now, when people (both abroad and here) have to give me the 'respect of the wheelchair', it is a lot easier.

Now, it's been a while, so more Music you get. A new, old, discovery.

 Force Of Nature - One of my favourite songs by Oasis
