Exciting opportunities!

Although I may appear confident, it's really just an image. 
In time gone by I would think 'what's the worst that could happen?' I would doubt it could get too  'much' worse.       
I have no doubt though, that I am encouraged by a great support network.

Recently two exiting prospects have come my way.

One is through a 'fairly' recent square peg volunteer, who is well connected to Huddersfield University. The initial idea is to interact with students on Social Work courses.
In a recent meeting this idea spiralled out of my control.
This link promises many great ideas, I can't say that I really understand them myself but I will keep you posted as things develop!

The next is from a Police contact, I  don't know too much about this just yet but again it will involve talking and training of new recruits.
I can fully agree with Buzby (My much older Sister told me about him!)

IT'S GOOD for me TO TALK!

    I have already spoken with one student who wants to try and fundraise for Squarepegs once she has finished her Uni work.... :-)). Rachel

A new chapter

There has been a great deal of trauma within our family during the last seven years since my stroke. Judith and I have admitted defeat on our marriage. I moved out of the family home to a bungalow not far away, earlier this year. Judith and I remain friends and she is a great support. Although there has been some incredible highs (DIY SOS and Maggie from Dogs for Good) the majority of the last 7 years has been filled with sadness! I have since discovered that all wasn’t actually well before my stroke and as a result have a painful look at the trail of destruction of broken relationships that i have left behind as i selfishly lived my life. I intend to apologise for any upset that i may have unwittingly caused and restart my life ensuring that I don’t make the same mistakes again!  ,fe

Long time, no write

For a while I have found myself in dark place. When I find myself in this state of mind, I find it very difficult to concentrate on much else. My activities have continued but I have not been able to write    about them! But I'm now back and I'm eager to concentrate on my rehabilitation! After a difficult year, the only way is up for 2019

Communication let me down!

Image
For quite a while now it seems as my life has been in turmoil. I have a great deal of difficulty showing  my emotions and this also expresses itself in written messages too.As a result of my stroke I suffer from emotional liability, (common in stroke survivors) not only do I find it difficult to hold my emotions, but I sometimes laugh when I’m upset. I can also shriek and cry hysterical too! I also spent a long time finding it impossible to communicate. After that I could only blink or nod my head, eventually I was able to use the e-frame. (This was awful to use, often I would spell it wrong or the user would forget what I was trying to spell out! On one occasion I was visited in hospital by a bunch of football friends, we were talking about football players and I was using the board to communicate but try as hard as they could they just couldn’t name the exotic sounding surname “YOURESATONMYLEG” It was a revelation progressing onto the computer that I operated with my eyes.
