UPDATE 🎄

Hi there it’s been a while, I have been working hard since the last post as you would imagine, so here’s a little update of my progress as today it has been 12 months since leaving the rehab unit at Portsmouth Queen Alexandra Hospital.

Little steps but we are moving forward, I used to think rehabilitation after broken bones, as when I broke my back waking up from a coma after two operations and a bone graft, learning to adapt was hard, but to be honest compared to this that was a walk in the park.

I am so blessed with all the help and positivity that the professionals, my wife Andrea, family and friends and of course support from all of you that have sent me so many messages of encouragement, they are so appreciated. We keep fighting.
Thank you 🙏🏼

I have attached a few clips from the beginning which seems so long ago to the present day.

Bonjour, cela fait un moment. Je travaille dur depuis la dernière publication, comme vous pouvez l’imaginer, alors voici une petite mise à jour de mes progrès, puisque cela fait aujourd’hui 12 mois que j’ai quitté l’unité de rééducation de l’hôpital Queen Alexandra de Portsmouth.

De petits pas, mais nous avançons. Je pensais autrefois que la rééducation après des os cassés comme lorsque je me suis cassé le dos, que je me suis réveillé d’un coma après deux opérations et une greffe osseuse, et que j’ai dû apprendre à m’adapter était difficile. Mais honnêtement, comparé à cela, c’était une promenade de santé.

Je me sens profondément reconnaissant pour toute l’aide et la positivité des professionnels, de ma femme Andrea, de ma famille et de mes amis, et bien sûr pour le soutien de vous tous qui m’avez envoyé tant de messages d’encouragement. Ils sont très appréciés.

Nous continuons à nous battre. Merci à tous 🙏🏼

J’ai joint quelques extraits, du tout début qui me semble si lointain jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

Today I remembered those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and I was joined by both my close and extended family.
•
Although we didn’t forget the purpose of today was it was also nice to bring the families together.
•
Continuing the tradition with Poppy which started in 2022 with her in Rainbows, we missed 2023 and then 2024 and 2025 with Brownies. Very proud watch her take part in the parade. Im looking forward to Alex joining us in the coming years.

NEW UPDATE 💥

Hi everyone , it’s been a while since the last post as improvements have slowed down but still making progress all the same, it’s more how I feel certain movements are easier, less tiring, so now we are working on strengthening the muscles and getting rid of the “baby fat”😂 that I gained not being able to exercise until recently, ( apart from the bike on the indoor trainer). As you can see I am able to put a little more effort in to the physio now, onwards and upwards. Ommer um 😉

🇫🇷

Salut tout le monde,
ça fait un moment depuis le dernier post car les progrès ont un peu ralenti, mais ça avance toujours ! C’est surtout que je sens certains mouvements devenir plus faciles, moins fatigants. Du coup on travaille maintenant sur le renforcement musculaire et à faire disparaître la “graisse de bébé” 😂 que j’ai prise en ne pouvant pas faire de sport jusqu’à récemment (sauf un peu de vélo sur le home trainer). Comme vous pouvez voir, je peux mettre un peu plus d’effort dans la physio maintenant, en avant toute ! Ommer um 😉

LITTLE UPDATE 🚴🏼‍♂️

Getting a little better control in the leg every time I use the home trainer, also à firm grip with the left hand on the bars 💪🏼

🇫🇷

Je contrôle un peu mieux ma jambe à chaque fois que j’utilise le home trainer, et j’ai aussi une bonne prise avec la main gauche sur le guidon 💪🏼

VISITORS UPDATE ☀️

Had a great week with the Morts staying with us, lots of bbq’s and stories of old mixed with plenty of laughter. Interesting info on Morts charity ride raising lots of money for the speedway riders benevolent fund of which have been very supportive to me when a rider and since my stroke, and there was talk for us to do something in 2027, so watch this space ✨

UPDATE 🤕

The first set back of the recovery happened Saturday, while getting on the mower I didn’t set myself right and sprained my good knee ending up in a pile on the floor. Rested Sunday and straight in to physiotherapist Monday. Disappointed as I am unable to put weight on it and am back in à wheelchair, no walking or cycling, 🤞 it won’t be long before I can continue hitting some targets. Getting to cocky and not concentrating 🫣

Having done the bbq letting Andrea run around after me doing the rest, physio’s orders, gotta rest 🤷‍♂️😅

🇫🇷

Premier coup dur dans ma récupération ce samedi. En montant sur la tondeuse, je me suis mal positionné et j’ai fini par me fouler le seul genou qui allait bien… Résultat : par terre en un tas.
Repos forcé dimanche, puis direction le kiné dès lundi.
Grosse déception : je ne peux plus poser le pied, retour en fauteuil roulant, donc plus de marche ni de vélo pour le moment. 🤞J’espère que ce ne sera pas trop long avant de pouvoir reprendre mes objectifs.
Je me suis un peu trop cru invincible et j’ai manqué de vigilance 🫣

J’ai quand même assuré le barbecue, mais Andrea a dû gérer tout le reste – consigne du kiné : repos total 🤷‍♂️😅
