Join me on my journey of less self-hatin' and more educatin'. Part time walker, part time roller – full time me.
Since sharing what happened to me on my last post I’ve been thinking about how to follow up from there. I’ve thought about the topic of intimacy before but never written it down so going to have a go now. For the longest time, intimacy to me was just related to sex and I hated… Continue reading Intimacy
I have 13 scars physically on my body. Two from Achilles lengthening above my heel, one from a nerve removal vertically up my ankle/leg, one on each foot/across my ankle from my triple arthrodesis fusion, one on my right big toe from getting my toe fused. Moving up, I have a scar from my bum… Continue reading S – Scars
When I was a bairn I was always falling over myself staring at people. Literally got told off all the time for watching people everywhere; in the supermarket, swimming baths, at the park, everywhere. I sometimes wonder if the fact people stare at me so much now is karma. Day to day it’s not that… Continue reading O – Ogle
I mentioned in a previous instagram post that before travelling, apart from sleeping and toddling around the house I didn’t do anything at all without my splints on. As our trip went on my comfort zone became smaller and further out of sight. Staying in Cat Ba, Vietnam, we did a day boat trip around… Continue reading K – Kayaking

This week I was reunited with an ol’ buddy ol’ pal in the form… Continue reading Bittersweet Blue Badge BBZ

And tbqh this entire lead up to the date, which on the calendar is just another day feels like the annual trudge through quicksand. While reflecting enough that writing this is beneficial for me, I am also going to include a few steps/things… Continue reading Good Grief + Give Yourself A Break
Nusa Penida ;; possibly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, undoubtedly THE hottest place I’ve ever been. Island life in splints is a bit of a logistical nightmare to say the least, but it’s something that with a few Balinese men and a whole lotta team spirit is a hurdle I/we are… Continue reading Nusa Penida
Hola everyone, Some of you may know I was recently in a minor road traffic accident where someone drove into the back of me at a junction. Along with the resulting pain, it caused a few other issues along the way. Any incident on the road has the potential to knock your confidence, no matter… Continue reading X***LCStress
Hey y’all, hope you are having a splendid weekend! I’ve been feeling a bit like a big grey jobby more often than I’d like to recently. Just general ups and downs which are natural and normal for me, but they’ve been teamed up with a lot of chill time with Bertha! - my “kids” blanket… Continue reading Just did it.
Good evening, and thank you to you if you’re taking the time to read this. I’ve had a ‘no splint Sunday’ which means there’s a 99/100% chance I’ve not been outside, and probably the same chance I’ve stayed in my jammies all day too - cuff me! Going to try to focus my mind on… Continue reading Tunnel Vision Labels
SPLINT UP, LOOK SHARP
