‘Don’t look at a problem, look through the problem’
A very wise quote that I heard from a fellow patient in hospital. Thank you Richard.
I cannot drink coffee if...
Served in a cardboard cup. Coffee should never be served in a cup which melts! Love your cup, be proud. Keep it. Re-use it.

If Edinburgh succeed with such, thank you for leading the British Isles in such a way.
I am sorry that this post is so rubbish. I cheer myself up...
As yet, i have not fully investigated this organisation, but they seem full of progressive, and potentially very positive solutions...
Saturday April 20th, I fell in bathroom
Kingston A&E, x-ray, nothing found
I stayed overnight onto Easter Sunday, at my parents’.
Return to living as independently as possible (support is needed). My stubborn determination makes me attempt toilet transfers. Again, and again, i am only half successful. I could transfer to the toilet but then would collapse, returning to my wheelchair. And Again. And Again. Fortunately, vital support/aid, could always be found from family, friends, and neighbours.
Determination, will power, and my love of pushing pedals, powered me to sit in my flat, on my ‘MotoMed gym-bike’.
It was just over one week later, Monday 29th April, I felt shoots of spasticity, up my left leg, through my left hip, agony in the supermarket!
I return to hospital and have had physios and doctors deciding that surgery on my hip was needed. So I am told by the nurse who is pouring morphine down my throat...
‘Ive been told by the physios who almost ready to see you, to give you a strong painkiller.’
....Bring it!
Last Friday, I was surgically operated on. I am sat in ‘recovery’, feeling such relief.
Monday 06th
It takes all, to make all. Last night, I had severe spasms again, in my legs, resulting me to cry out in pain. I apologised to the rest of the ward, soon after. Embarrassed, but I do realise that hospital patients generally should recognise that disability can affect everything. They will be strengthened by this ‘gain’, as long as they can view it as such.
I go for the x-ray check-up Tuesday, from which it is discovered that my hip has become dislocated again (providing me with an explanation for Sunday/Monday night’s pains).
I had surgery (hopefully my final), yesterday, Thursday 09th but I am now trapped by wearing a full-length leg splint on a bed with pillows surrounding me, holding legs in various positions.
Patrick - I hope you are recovering well - Hopefully you will be back in Surbiton’s coffee places soon!
