OHS Update + A Rant
This is the latest OHS (Open Heart Surgery) Update. The next update will not be until after pre-op day next week when I need my full surgical team and get to meet the people that will be poking and proding inside my chest and playing with my heart. Yesterday (Tuesday, April 15th), I had my final sca...
So here I am asking myself the why, oh why question. So many people within my life having been using and abusing my kindness and support for years now. It is a shame that I keep falling for it. I always seem to attract these types of people, the users and abusers. With everything that is currently g ...
It has been sometime since I have done a decent post. There has been so much going on that I haven't had much time to do much of anything. So here are some updates: cardio angiogram: several blockages were found. They cannot place in any stents, but want to preform open heart bypass surgery SoreEyes ...
So, this post isn't against all the LGBTQI+ community, but it is about the majority. What I don't get is several years ago I personally had no problem finding someone to go for coffee, have dinner or even go further after a date i had no problem finding someone. However, now days, being an amputee a ...
There is currently so much going on with me at the moment that no one wants to hear. Also, people within my life really do not understand what I went through in 2022, nor what I continue to go through to this day, which is now 822 days post-op since the BKA. I have been a drug addict for around 7 ye ...
After many years of challenges and drama, significant changes will take effect from the 1st of August 2024. These changes are intended to benefit my future endeavors, including several planned projects and some that are already in progress. However, let's address a few updates first. SoreEyesRP has ...

This post is a continuation of yesterday's update, detailing events from two years ago. If you missed yesterday's post, it's available at my website here. This morning, my nurse surprised me by announcing that I was scheduled for surgery in 30 minutes. Confused, as I had no prior knowledge of this, ...
On this day in 2022, a significant event took place that would begin to have major impacts on the rest of my life. In the early hours of May 27th, 2022, I observed the diabetic ulcer on my left foot's left side turning black. I took a photo with my phone and sent it to my GP via email. Later that mo ...
Sometimes I really have to wonder why I bother doing anything for anyone. Why? Because most of the time I get shit on in return and am left to fend for myself when I am the one needing help or someone to talk to. The more I am here for people the more I feel left out and not wanted by anyone. I am s ...

Just the other day it happened again ... another fall out of the wheelchair resulting in further wounds onto the stump. This time two large wounds near the bottom of the stump.

Today I started with a new Friday support worker. When I saw his profile the other day, I wasn't sure how things would go. When he turned up this morning, he was chirpy and happy. Bit much for me early morning. But he had already read my bio and understood most of it, which was great. Someone who ac ...
Monday 5th August 2024 - Day One NDIS Respite It is currently 5.30am and I am making the final touches on packing the last few items before my support worker arrives and we begin to journey to Port Macquarie for 6 days. It is going to be a bit of an exhausting day, but one that is much overdue and ...
From 6am tomorrow morning every changes. As at the writing of this post I have less than 12 hours until I leave for my respite period. It is something that has been planned for over a month now and the day of departure is now not far away. I am nervous and anxious, the family I will be seeing whilst ...

This is a follow-up post from my previous post titled 'Heart Surgery Update + Advance Care Directive (ACD)', which was posted on Monday, April 7th, 2025. On Tuesday, April 8th, 2025, I met with my Cardiothoracic Surgeon in North Sydney at his private clinic. The news was ...
Today, at the age of 48, I never thought I would have to fill in and write out an Advance Care Directive (ACD). Not sure what that is? I have attached the meaning below. An Advance Care Directive (ACD), also known as a living will or personal directive, is a legally binding document where an individ ...

Several blockages have been found. They cannot place stents in, they need to do open heart bypass surgery, this is something I am so not looking forward to. This isn't minor surgery. As if I don't have enough health issues going on I now need open heart surgery. Great start to 2025. I have a sore wr ...

Yesterday I had my monthly appointment with my GP and I decided to bring up the issues I was having with my weekly injections of Ozempic. I want to be taken off it. I wanted to be placed back onto my several injections a day - I know it would mean going back to 4 to 5 injections daily instead of onc ...

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 ...

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.

I am not usually into much rap music, but there is some that have a lot of meaning in the words. Apart from D Minor, this is another one. Rapping about addiction and has so much meaning. Have a listen and drop a comment on your thoughts. ...
The words of this video clip have meaning. Even if you don't like JB just listen to the words. Being lonely is one of the hardest things in life, this is something I know personally with my anxiety and social phobia. ...
KD Lang performed one of the best songs and raised the most amount of money during a song during the inter Fire Fight Australia Concert on Sunday.
