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 :)

30 (thousand)!

My first note of this week
half hour
... Is the duration it took me to complete the Sudoku puzzle, presented last week. After printing it out, it took me 30 minutes to complete.

This blog is approaching it's fifth birthday, but reached 30,000 total page views. This is slightly crazy, and five years is a long time.
30,000
C'est la vie


The toughest difficulty that I have faced, was psychologically accepting my situation. I was mentally strong enough though, realising that I had no choice but to accept. The only other way out, was to give up. I have always been slightly masochistic, and enjoy a challenge , so accept it, I obviously have done! My graduation course-mate friends, we're all proud of what we achieved, 'Design' is all about problem-solving. Designers graduate in 'problem-solving'! My pride led me on from a 3D Design course, to a 2D Design course, as well. I had done all the work to achieve the grade, when I was given the biggest problem of all! Total solution is impossible, but I will continue to develop solutions to problems that I face.

I fell
More stories from the gym. This week, I had a flashback. I had pushed myself too hard, and had done the exercises in a different order, resulting in weak legs, when required the most. I fell. I had banged my left arm. I was fine, just alarmed! Pleased that I knew I had 'pushed too hard'. A cyclist's 'bonk'.

Daughter - Doing the right thing - favourite current song
not a fan of the video, but love the song dearly...
a live version...

Album out next year 'Not to disappear’ - Jan 15th
more Daughter songs,,,




I sit and wonder 
The logo has been lauded great amounts.


'... an amazing person, but…'
A comment that I am 99% sure of receiving from girls, that I 'like'. Everyone always denies that any negative comment has anything to do with my injury or my current need of a wheelchair. OK, I have lost time, but OH I DONT KNOW! Grrrrr

more music...
AURORA - Running With The Wolves

'Sorry, COULD YOU PUT THE RAMP DOWN, PLEASE?'
I used to be talked very condescendingly about, early in my rehabilitation, as being far too quiet. I have developed and it amuses me now, shocking/surprising everyone on a bus, when I call loudly to the driver! I am also indirectly alerting the passengers to clear out of my way!
