Hello all
I'm new here and hoping to make fresh contacts and new and like-minded friends
I enjoy writing, photography, music, wine, and cats.
I would describe myself as an advocate of injustices, Freedom Fighter, Loyal, Single-Minded with a wicked humour.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
I will add I have a rare congenital disability called Arthrogryposis. -
Hi, you are just what we need.
We are currently fighting so many battles for disability rights and benefits, so come on down, the time is right !
And you have what Lee Pearson has, so that makes you ok in my book.
If you like cats, then get on into our virtual pub, the Cane and Able, where bizarrely the cats send each other messages...
Less strange things happen in there too. But not many
Welcome to ouch !
Regards
Hoss.

Hi, new too. I fell ill last year, perfectly healthy and wham I got sick & in hospital went into toxic shock, now I am a triple amputee. I've got a wicked humour too, I think that really helps to cope! I found this site by chance, its really cool. I am rying to find a cool mobility scooter but can't. I don't want something I should have needed in 50 years time! It is scary if you look at everything in a big picture, so I try to focus on each day that helps too. My family have been great. What can you still do now? Do u mind me asking but how does it affect you?

Hi I'm new too! I too was healthy last year, then got septis and now triple amputee.
Very lucky to have good sense of humour but suffer from negativity but trying hard to be positive. I'm 33 and love cats & dogs. Got two gorgeous kids and a great husband.
Look forward to knowing like minded people stuck in the same boat as me.

Hi,
Pop into the other sections and have a nose around. We do talk about some strange things sometimes - purple boots anyone? own a pussy-cat? or maybe you fancy a snack in the Pat Val?
