Welcome to my blog. I post on this, roughly once a week (it does vary). 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 :)

Part B

Hmmmm
Yesterday, I was on the way back to work, after having my lunch, when I suffered my first ever (i think) crash/accident whilst being in my powered wheelchair. I am not alone in recognising the dangerous/problematic pavement (on a camber down, roadwords, on a corner)! Instead of picking fights, I shall continue to praise the Royal Borough of Kingston, as i have not found one in Kingston, but when i cross into a neighbouring borough, basic town planning (or landscape architecture?)has caused myself (wheelchair user), a further injury.
Grrrr.

Focus on the positives. I should praise and give thanks to medical staff, in ambulance and at the local West Middlesex hospital.

Thank you.

  1. Yikes! That is just the worst combination for a pavement. To think that they have yet to address that problem, despite numerous people being aware of it. Maybe it’s time someone filed an official complaint to change it, if it hadn't been done already, so that accidents like that could be avoided. Anyway, I hope you’re doing well nowadays. Take care!
