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 :)

Guilt
Chocolate is wonderful.
Chocolate is best received as a gift... I cannot buy it myself without feeling guilty. However I also feel guilty if I do not accept a gift! Therefore...ahem?...
;) 


On the way home, the other day, and I found myself behind a group of school children on the pavement. Two boys with two girls. The two males had a football, of which all four were throwing around. The boys then started kicking, passing it to each other. They found themselves dropping behind the girls. One girl found herself about thirty metres ahead, all faced forwards. She would turn out to be the target, of a ‘beautiful, floated football pass' from the final boy who was level with me. I was amazed as the ball landed perfectly on her head. Unfortunately she did not react as positively as Oliver Giroud may! She turned round, yelling and wearing a face of furious anger. The boy (whom I actually wanted to congratulate due to his fine shot) had to be wearing a face of terror and despair. As she ran at him, I attempted to calm her, defending him, by exclaiming...
'It was an accident!!!'
I don't think she paid attention. I sincerely hope the boy survived.

Muse - ‘Psycho’

The new Muse album is almighty. The band have always enjoyed using manic acapellas. This album is enhanced by the yelling of a military officer in training.
If you are in the correct mood for Muse, this is a sensational album!… Just when you think they cannot out perform themselves, take a listen… ;)
best ever…?

some fun...

Another note regarding Music. I have found large success, riding my gym bike whilst listening to the new Prodigy album. Max power output from the word go!!!! I now ride naturally at a 50/50 power output of both legs (initially impossible for me). I ride for 20mins a day. I knacker myself, but this is totally out of choice!

Extra-wide load
I travel along by the river, where the path narrows towards the end. I am used to living in a wheelchair, but i still get disappointed, but grateful, when i see EVERYONE make way for me! Earlier in the week I was on such path, having passed three mothers, with buggies and children, on separate occasions. All gave me way, so i passed thanking them. The path then reaches it’s narrow section, and fortunately miss a big accident, myself. There are barriers to my left, and a wall on the right, very little space. I would have waited, but had little option, or space to use. This vehicle was a human walking at speed. The sheer size of this panicked me. Basic Physics:
Force = Mass x Acceleration
I was sooo lucky to avoid her. She was walking at such speed, with such weight...
