IKEA Pride : I attended the Pride in Practice Conference in Sydney today and picked up a sticker from the IKEA pride / inclusion group. Love the dala horse in progressive flag colours. Now wearing pride of place on my prosthetic leg.

It's been a week of radio celebrations. On Thursday, it was 100 years of ABC Radio Sydney. And on Saturday, I attended the celebration for 50 years of the the Australian Film, Television & Radio School. A bit of my radio history, and why I still love it. jamesobrien.id.au/2023/11/radi...

It's four and half months now since I had an emergency lower right leg amputation. Things are slowly heading towards a "new normal" life. If you know anyone in a similar position, maybe you could point them to my blog which will help with their situation too.

The last few months have been life-changing for me, as I had a lower right leg amputation. The circumstances were pretty life and death for a while, but I'm getting closer to returning home. I hope these posts may help other people in similar circumstances. jamesobrien.id.au/tag/myrightl...
