Over lockdown thanks to a connection through my blog, I had the fantastic opportunity to do some virtual talks for groups of physiotherapists and occupational therapists (OT) along with other individuals with CP and similar injuries. The physios and OTs were keen to improve the transition of patients from paediatric (child) to adult services soContinue reading “Physio Talk”

Welcome to my latest hair-brained idea-the Lake District on Cuthbert the crutches, that was quite the experience. If you want my honest advice I would not do it again with Cuthbert in tow despite how much they tried to help. So let’s go from the beginning The Journey Firstly, it’s a long way-I know IContinue reading “The Lake District on Crutches… not the one”

Downright rubbish. That’s what. So you know how I was just celebrating being rid of Bill the Boot and excited to be out enjoying the world re-opening. Life had other plans and it is now a mismatched déjà vu. I have fractured my right knee. Clearly my right side was just fed up with myContinue reading “Rubbish”

Hello friends. I know it has been a while so apologies for the lack of brain waves filling your lives recently (although I know you have all been far too busy making the most of the pubs reopening to notice so all is good). Thankfully I am now rid of Bill the Boot-that was justContinue reading “Facing Reality”

Welcome to Lockdown 3…. don’t panic – I can help you because Yazzi’s Kitchen has reopened after its Christmas break to continue baking brownies to raise money for Scope (a brilliant disability equality charity). If you are anything like me and need chocolate every single day, then a January in Lockdown is the ultimate timeContinue reading “Bill the Boot and the Brownie Bakeathon”

Who needs chocolate? I know a silly question – if you don’t need chocolate 24/7 then I am not sure why you are here to be honest. If you need something to fuel your lockdown home workouts or Netflix marathons you have come to the right place. Now that I have your attention I canContinue reading “CHOCOLATE BROWNIES”

Scars are there to tell a story (even if it is one that I don’t remember!) The issue I face is that I don’t put two and two together, when I fall I just get up and keep going, I don’t think about the consequences and the fact that the cuts and bruises I haveContinue reading “Scars”

Something a bit different from me but this is the best method I have found for cheering myself up when I need to laugh. Turn up the volume and put on a good tune. I heard this song whilst out running recently and the lyrics really resonated, despite being knackered at the end of myContinue reading “BeLikeYazzi”

I have touched on this previously but wanted to go a bit deeper as it is something that has been increasingly frustrating me recently. Be prepared for some word vomit coming up! With all this spare time on our hands during lockdown, I have been spending more time on social media (as I am sureContinue reading “Finding my tribe”

With all the craziness going on in the world, I thought it would be good to share some of the positive responses I have had to my blog and some of the other inspirational accounts I have found online having started my blog. I have been overwhelmed with the positive response to my blog andContinue reading “The power of connection”
