Ha, thank you. If only admiration paid the bills! But thank you, seriously.

The benefits of perspective and maturity. Understandably, for many youngsters who have had traumatic amputations there’s a ‘why me’ and ‘life is unfair’ viewpoint which very reasonably takes time to work through. Difficult to get them to enthusiastically commit to something they never wanted

One of the reasons I strongly advocated for both amputations at same time was so I could learn to walk evenly, without any compensations or imbalances developing. I haven’t really budged from that position.

Well with my synthetic sight, hearing, teeth and legs I'm wellon the way!

They haven't said I can't, but nor have they encouraged it. Tbh I haven't/won't. Too many potential things to go wrong. Trevor is only really for transfers/pivots for now, and I'm fine with that.

‘Real’ tickets still available, but so are digital tickets (link above). Who could deny the attraction of an interesting and engaging medical conference enjoyed from the comfort of your favourite chair at home, in your underwear? Not me.
And to any attendees, please do come over and say hello!

Ok. Thealoz does the trick for me. Around 8 times a day.

Not ideal for someone profoundly deaf
