Ups and downs...

-

 Did ever so well with my new scooter until it's battery died and I was legit almost home and misjudged a kerb and when I realised I was going down I tried to drop like I was taught being a goalie but it didn't matter kinda bent my ankle back under my weight and it's likely a sprain.


I've done worse falling down me own stairs and with the state of my pelvis, I just have to keep getting back up and dusting myself off.


Good job me da gave me that helmet isn't it and I now know to gauge drop kerbs better. 


It wasn't a drop kerb like the others it was actually about a cm off the ground as opposed to lower so it's bounced off the front wheel of the scooter and I was just laid there like five mins saying the F word over and over in a casualty pose lol. (Like chalk outlines).


I have had worse falls off my bicycle it's just I landed bad and my inflammation markers are higher so I've got frozen chips on my ankle (not loose lmao in the bag) and people in my street were an absolute legend.


Two wonderful ladies came and assisted me.


I can put weight on it despite it hurting and was just coming back from a charity event and fundraising for wheelchairs for community spirit Newton Aycliffe.


Met some wonderful and kind ladies today and I have no regrets. My scooter can definitely be an advantage but I need to not try and rush home so quick just cause it's a street away, I think I was too focused on getting home and checking on my dog that I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have been.


Gonna have the rest of the afternoon off and then get back to studies.


Thankfully I have pain management so when things like this happen I can manage through it.


Funnily enough my pelvis hurts more than my ankle and thats like that every day, just puts it into perspective what I deal with but I'm proud of not quitting and fighting for surgery and atleast it wasn't a bad fall in the bath this time, those are even worse!


Life is always gonna knock you down, but plenty of rest and pain management and I'll be right as rain.


I get anxious and feel like a burden when I need help and I am just so grateful and want to say a huge thank you to the ladies that popped over and helped me.


Still got a lot of good leg exercises in today and I'm keeping working on my rehab/exercise to continue keeping my mobility up as much as I can.


I'm definitely a silly head. 👀

I'm done with Bishop Auckland college:

I got a very unprofessional email (linkedin message) today after promoting the college and resharing several courses I shared this: A colleague had been informed that due to numbers the policing course can't go ahead. (My formal complaint via email is at the bottom of this blog post) So I simply shared a list of their nutritional courses (also helpful) and added if anyone was interested in the level three policing course to enroll asap (based on the information provided we didn't want to lose the course) I received this: I still haven't heard anything official from the college yet and I'm not happy with being told I'm not allowed to share courses to enrol. But to be honest the accusations of misinformation irk me to my core especially without any official correction or context. So I've blocked Adam on LinkedIn and I'm done with Bishop Auckland College now. I am removing myself SO FAST from everyone and everywhere that chooses disrespect over thoughtfulness. ...

Ramside Hall and Northern Housing Consortium:

I am excited to say that the event at Ramside Hall went spectacularly well, I attended with my best friend Corin and we had such a lovely time. I gave a wonderful speech as to how Northern Housing Consortium has helped me spectacularly with a bursary for my start up business www.magnoliaphotography.co.uk and I happily share the quoted speech I gave below:  " As a start-up business, I initially struggled to  meet the demands of contractual work. Creating art by finger painting on my phone screen was time-consuming, imprecise, and physically challenging. This made it difficult to meet my clients' expectations for detail and speed. Living with chronic pain and disabilities only added to these difficulties. When I learned through Livin Futures that Northern Housing Consortium was offering a start-up bursary, I immediately applied for a drawing tablet, hoping it could change the way I work. Receiving the bursary has been truly transformative. With my new drawing tablet, I can now ...

Cheers 😔 see: https://pgpandspd.blogspot.com/2024/06/hacked-stickers-betrayal-and-pride.html I got off the phone to Paul Howarth yesterday, whilst I'm with my son in public in a cafe, the ADM meet didn't go ahead, but we stayed anyway and my son encouraged me to merely enquire about the article and why my image was not printed, Paul stated it was a space issue but I explained he'd spliced images before and how much would it cost to get the photo in the paper so I can feel positively represented by my home town as a Newtonian since his only reason was the article was FREE, anyway he got rude and abruptly stated he does a LOT for ADM and it's ALL FREE and that he feels I'm being REALLY UNFAIR and hung u...
