Well, well well, I'm currently at my Nanny & Granddad Durkins house, it's been a lovely week for me! I don't have my dairy with me, so I can't actually look through it to remind me of all the things that this lovely week consisted of, however I'll do my best to roll out the bits that have stuck to my patchy memory!
It is a little quiet in our house, Dad is away in Las Vegas doing what he does best ;-) All my love and luck has been thrown his way, so hopefully he'll catch it in time to roll in some big wins either through his own expertise or the expertise of his players. To my little brother Ben, I've also thrown a big bit of luck to you too. I'm sure you'll both do great and then come home safely with lots of lovely presents for me!!! ;) haha good luck to you both!
Anyway, Harvey, our little cute kitten, who turned out to be a baby girl rather than a boy, has given birth to 4 gorgeous little, tiny, kittens! Very very cute! I want to keep them all!!! However I don't think we will, some people have put dips in first. Stealing kittens from a little disabled girl! tut tut. Jokes people! Urgh I hate using that D word! Unless it's for free parking or a short queuing at a ride. Apart from that, I'm an amputee, OK people? Do not call me disabled!
I went to see my councillor this week. I completely understand why people go to these councillor sessions at the mobility centre I am with, losing a limb must be very hard for most people, it has been a bit tricky for me from time to time, however I've not allowed any of the negative feelings to consume me, as many people unfortunately do. I really do think my positivity has developed more and more as an amputee, I don't fake the semi-smile I have, I am genuinely a happy, smiley person now, with no worries or concerns at all. Anyway, I still attend a meeting with this lovely lady, Judy, my councillor, every 4 months or something. After a little chat with Judy, on how things are going, what I've been up to and what my plans moving forward are, I mentioned how my blog was going and how many people had commented on my writing ability, so kindly, at the Oxted food festival I attended that week. They had said that they loved my blog and always looked forward to reading the next post (if any of you are reading this now - this is to you <3 ) Anyway, Judy and I both said, I should write a book! I am very excited at the idea of doing this. My spelling is atrocious at the best of times, so a publisher would certainly have a field day! But I'm going to do it! Something to work on and focus on. May even help my recovery, in terms of memory etc.
So, today! The lovely lady Michelle McCarthy, popped in to my Nanny.Ds to see me. She is doing a Media Masters at university and would like to do a documentary on my recovery and progress. The idea is very exciting. I've looked through similar types of documentaries that it will mirror and the Katie Piper one "My Beautiful Face" is very good. A similar documentary will be great for me to have a look back at in a few years time, when things are a lot better. It will be good to have as a keep sake reminder of how far I've come. It will be lovely for me to have and to show to my family and friend…. and maybe at my book signing! haha (Joking people!)
I'm off to see my Uncle Mark now, with my nanny J.
Anyway, that's how my week has gone, nothing to declare really, other than exciting times ahead of me!
Peace be with you … Amen .
