Mad Mick's Wheelchair Adventures

Was up at at 5 ready to leave at seven, was a nice drive with Cheryl to the airport arived at 9.30, by the time i got through to the board gate did not have t wa long before i was on the plane, being in a wheelchair they put you on first and last off. First thing i noticed when i got out of Nicks air con car was how hot and humid it is, it’s very hot and humid but once inside it was nice and cool. Going to have a lazy day today, will be in and out the pool most the day

 I Think i have packed every thing, bags a lot bigger than I wanted but 1/2 is full with sweets and chocolate but then they are for Erin and family and will give me room to bring stuff back, hope to start to add photos when i get there. I think i have worked it out, we will see. People keep asking me if i am excited, to be honest I am not really. I am really looking forward to seeing Nick & Gina again, think it was 2013 when we last met. I am going to have so much fun when I get to Erin and her family, they have 4 young kids so that means they will have a 5th whilst I am there. As Del Boy said " He who dares wins" I will try a little to stay out of trouble

 Its been a while since my last post, just over a year. Not much has happened, had my shoulder operation in September 23 so only really started going back out this spring, have been getting quite fit with all the pushing. So I am ready for my trip. I am going for 8 weeks, will be staying with Nick for a while as he has a road trip planed of 6 days in his truck, so looking forward to that. I pick up my car on the 9th sept then will leave Nicks on the 10th sept and head to Erin, about a 3 day drive, will stay there a few weeks (not sure how many). When i leave there i am going to SpaceX, it's a 5/6 day drive. really looking forward to seeing there even if its just a drive past then the drive back to Nicks which will take about 5/6 days Then chill out at Nicks until the 4th Nov for my flight home. This is the min time it will take to get to places, but I expect I will get side tracked, well I hope I do.   Sunday 8 th Pick up car from Sarasota airport after 2pm. Monday 9 th Head t

 A big thank you to Sarah and Cheryl for all there help

 Well here we are again, another post whilst I am stoned and been drinking.... Going to stop the weed for a while as my chest is so bad and the wine because my body has had enough abuse. Summer is just starting and still waiting for my opp on my shoulder, it will happen when it does, I am not putting my life on hold whilst I wait, so at the moment I am getting out as much as the weather will permit. I did do my first 2k push this week, if i am not stupid and take it easy with my pushing I could have a good summer but I always want to go that bit more and i need to lean a bit less is better in the long run. I am going for a new look, "Steampunk" why because i love the style and outfits. I find being in a wheelchair you don't get noticed as easy as a able person, I can understand that as I am half the size of a able person and easy to miss. Well they wont miss my new look.....lol

 It't the 5th anniversary of my stroke, I think I have come a long way since then, my left hand and arm are about 95% normal most the time it can get a bit lazy if I am tired to had to much to drink or smoke then I have to be careful when I pick thinks up with it, some times I don;t remember to let go then, opps a glass of wine over my keyboard again. There have been lots of ups and down due to the stroke. One issue i still have are my emotions when watching films or shows, any sort of happy thing and i start to cry and have no control over it, I do get angry at times with it with tears streaming down my face......... I can still make improvements in my left arm if only i would start to excersise I really don't know why I don't. Would only take maybe 15mins morning and 15 mins afternoon. Maybe I need to start to look at why I find it hard to help myself.
