Acceptance & Non-Acceptance !

Ok,.............So hopefully we are all on the same page now. My apologies for posting the wrong blog address.

So the freedom pass assesment went well................the lady took one look at me and gave me a YES, you qualify kinda look.Yay, Yay, Yay .......like I never doubted that I would fail ! Now I wait for the pass to be posted to me. In the days of real legs, I was like a mole on extasy tabs - ferriting through the underground, knowing all the little rat routes to minimize on time and get to my destination quicker. Now, sadly I have to be positioned at certain couches to board the train, require assistance with loading me on and off, finding lifts, and making sure which stations are cripple friendly, and which arn't , etc etc etc.....But, I have to consol myself with, from shortly I will travel FREE !!!! As they say " time is money " ....in my instance, time is now free !!

So, that was Mondays high light !

Ever heard of  " Steak knife Tuesday " ?. Well for the benefit of those of you that don't, It is the Tuesday that having taken social drugs the weekend prior, Tuesday is when the drug is finally out of the system and one feels like taking a steak knife and slitting ones wrists ! I had only taken my doctors orders of script drugs, however " Steak knife Tuesday " discided to pay me a not so merry visit ! Woke up with a stomach bug, felt like shit, and made up my mind that I was gonna have a SP ( self pity ) day - Everything was WRONG !!!, carers useless, washing machine to loud, coffee not cold enough, weather crap, ...........the list goes on and on. But worst of all, the severity of my injury and the uselessness of not being able to do so much as prior to my injury got to me BIG TIME.

No names mentioned, but there is one person that  I have had daily contact with from the time I was able to use my phone. This person has had the most amazing influence on my attitude, acceptance and general recovery. After his call yesterday, and his complete  understanding , I picked myself up dusted the negativity off  and am back with a vengence today !!!

Am graced today with a peaceful apartment as the carers are out on errands. Have re- evaluated my life and realise just how fortunate I am. Hey......, at least I have a functioning right hand side, and working on the left hand side. An amazing apartment with a stunning view of the railway line, carers full time, and amazing support from friends !!! LIFE IS GOOD.

So, my friends, this has been a bit of a ' venting ' blog - but I am againg on track, rolling well and ready to continue finding my legs again - tomorrow meeting up with my Stanmore mentor - promise to fill you in on a more positive, informative and humerous blog.

And remember to be appreciatve of what we have.................until then....
