Welcome Page

Well, the title pretty much says it all. Welcome to my little corner of the World Wide Web, and I hope your stay is both enjoyable and informative. My site is dedicated to making life after a spinal cord injury easier, by showing you how I've managed. I am over 20 years post injury now, and I've lived longer with my disability than without it. This only means that I have a few more ideas, possibilities and stories to bring to the table. I am no oracle of Delphi, and have no answers, only a few ideas as to how I made my journey.

There are a few segments of this website that show photographs of some of the surgery I have had, and as such are not for the squeamish. Where these pages occur I give plenty of warnings, but I hope that they help those within the SCI community decide whether this operation might benefit them.

It's easy when you are newly injured to look at the life you had before and think that life is over, but that could not be further from the truth. Since my accident I have taken up photography, become a season ticket holder with London Irish Rugby Club, been married and divorced and in September 2005 I started a college course learning to sing Jazz. I have also reached the highest level playing World of Warcraft, which now has 9 million players world wide, and is highly addictive. That I've managed this with my limited mobility demonstrates that with planning and brut ignorance, anything is possible.

My life is packed with opportunities to have exactly the same time as anyone else, whether its laughter or crying, and I'd not have it any other way!

Now enough of my ramblings, search my site, enjoy your stay and maybe read what I'm up to on my new blog.
