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 :)

...unprepared!

Unexpectedly, an unprepared post is supplied this week. It will be short. Only two notes to be discussed.





My new book, that I bought only last-week, has been an aim since beyond a year ago. It will take time to read, but I want to devote sufficient time to do such. 
The note below summarises the quote beneath, from page 47, of ‘Being and Nothingness’.
Opposites of EVERYTHING, can at-least be conceived, even if they don’t exist.

Kristina Vogel

I discovered the above link, on the BBC homepage today. At first I did not know how to react.
A double Olympic Champion, and multiple World Champion. A different injury, to me. However, it seems that she has maintained possession of great determination, and seems to have a similar positive mentality to many cyclists. Kristina may remain a cyclist, as much as I do. The brain of a cyclist. 
Very fortunately, although I had a Traumatic Brain Injury, I luckily kept many of the mental traits which I had learnt as a keen cyclist. 
There are many patients who do not.
We both cannot be active cyclists, but try to keep the mentality strong!

Best wishes to Kristina

...
Extra note.
I approve. I took my storage tin in to Whittards. My coffee beans are bought by weight, and I asked for them to be stored straight in my tin. We all must cut down on packaging, when possible!
