Minor Update
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 ...
It's nearly 4 hours into 2023 and this year there is a lot of things that I want to do … A lot of things that I want to achieve … There is going to be a lot of ups and downs … 2022 for me was one of the hardest years that I have ever had and I have had some really, really tough ones before. But neve ...
It's now 5 days out from Christmas 2022 and this is the first Christmas in my "forever home". It is going to be a relatively low-key event for me this year. One of the neighbours in my unit block (there is only 4 units within the block) have invited me to go to his for Christmas Lunch, but I don't t ...
Right now, it is nearly 4am at the start of writing this post. I have been awake since about 1am when my stump woke me up. Not what I was expecting tonight, especially when I was in bed before 11pm, which is not like me on a normal day, apart from when I was in hospital I was usually out before 9pm ...

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. There have been so many struggles it isn't funny and there have been some highs as well, not many though, but still some. I have go ...
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. It means I am having to go into respite for 4 days. Being put up at a very nice location, see image of where I am stay ...

So, after 18 weeks and 6 days I was finally discharged from Hospital and into my now forever home which turned out to be a 2 bedroom fully modified unit with lock up garage for my mobility scooter.

Yes, you read that correctly, I have my forever home. This has been many years in the making and many more months with the dramatic changes having to happen after my amputation, which changed everything. An official offer was made on Tuesday and the address given. And on the outside, it looks amazin ...
So to put this simple, not everything is ok with me right now. Everything is going downhill. From the death of someone close to me to my constant issues with my feet and awaiting what they are going to do, it is looking more and more like amputation but trying everything to avoid that = even to the ...
I am now on night 7 of my 7 1/2 week holiday to my parents on the Mid North Coast. It is so good being out of my little dog box for some time. I have all security measures in place whilst I am away for an extended period of time. I am still having regular video consults with my doctors and specialis ...

In 4 days, being 6th December, it has been exactly 6 months since I had my below knee amputation of my left leg.

So today is the today I am finally getting the new wheelchair that is mine and the final one that is needed. At the moment there is just a slight problem with the back tippers needing adjusting and re-done, which they are doing in my garage. So, all going well I should have my chair within the next ...

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. My sister still owes me $3,000 and has only made $290 worth of payments in 9 months and couldn't even check in on me whilst going through my ...

The NSW Government has totally fucked up in waiting too long in locking Sydney and other areas down as they have now for the next 2 weeks (until the 9th July) (but this could be extended depending on cases over this time).

Justin's latest music video is amazing. The story behind the song is a bit of a tear-jerker. So if you haven't seen it already you might want to go and get yourself some tissues first.
