We are a few days out from the end of the first month of the new year. Where in the hell has the last 30 days gone? It can go a bit quicker and get out of Summer already and cool down a bit. Anyway, when starting to write this post it is still 28.1°C (82.58°F) and it is 2am, it is hot as hell and I ...
We are now approaching the end of the 3rd day of 2024 and it is starting slowly. But I have some big plans for this year and some big things that I need to change personally to improve my life, make it better and achieve what I want. For pretty much all of 2023 I have been scared to get up and about ...
For some time now it has been so hard writing and posting new posts. Everything for some time now has been getting on top of me. I haven't been wanting to carry on. Things have been falling to shit for some time now and to be honest, I am just so over everything. I have been dealing with a dry socke ...
Today marks exactly 10 months since my life changed forever. This is the 10-month mark of having my left leg amputated below the knee. I have been through a hell of a lot of things during my 46 years on this planet, but this has had to be the worst thing that I have ever had to go through. And I hav ...
So yesterday I had a package arrive by courier from Amazon. I was home the whole time and they did not ring my doorbell or knock. I got an email around midday telling me my package was delivered. So I went to the door, nothing. I went and got onto my mobility scooter and went to the mailbox, again n ...
So right now, I am so pissed the fuck off. I had a support worker booked and turned up for an overnight shift, which is 7pm to 7am. He had a list of things to do, which is my basic stuff, cleaning the kitchen, emptying rubbish bins and removing some recycling. He was due to do this whilst I slept th ...
This is a hard question to answer. But to make it simple, I believe in a way I have given up to a point. Why is this so? Well, wearing a prosthetic leg when I can makes me feel like a freak. I don't feel normal. People stare, people make comments and think you don't hear but you do and it fucking hu ...

Christmas 2023 has now come and gone. But bet your bottom socks it won't be long before the season of Christmas 2024 is upon us. Especially with how fast this last year has gone.

We are now only 4 days out from Christmas Day 2023. It is a rough time of year for me and it has been for decades. But, this year is my second Christmas in my forever home.

In 3 weeks and 4 days time will mark exactly 1 year since the major below-knee amputation of my left leg. I can not believe it is nearly 1 year since this has occurred.

So, after nearly 6 months the repairs at home are finally happening next week. And because it involves tiling within the bathroom it means I can not remain at home during this time.

This is the first post in awhile that is not relating to my health. There has been much going on within the family that I am just not prepared to take anymore.
