Work at last!!!

26th November 2012- So today was the first day of being back to education, I started my photography course!! This is a milestone for me as I have finally found something that I am well enough to do which I can take my time with and there's no pressure! And it is going pretty well so far!


Life is like a camera, 
Focus on what's important,
Capture the good times, 
Develop from the negatives,
And if things don't work out just take another shot!

Rain Rain Rain

22nd November 2012- My first walk in the rain by myself since being really ill! I love the rain, something about it relaxes me! I haven't been able to walk in the rain that much since getting really ill because not many people like the rain, and rain and wheelchairs don't always get on!! But today I did it wooo!
Rain is very wet.

Independence.

15th November 2012- Today I walked from grandma's to pick Emma up from school... BY MYSELF!! Ahh it was so nice but a bit chilly! Getting my independence back slowly but surely!
Big step towards things to come.

Walking.. oh how I have missed you!

21st July 2012- I walked to the postbox (which is half way up my road) for the first time since getting really ill! It was my goal for the summer to be able to walk there and I did it!! Now when ever we have post I'm always the first one to volunteer to post it!!
Little things are the most special.

Examsss

12th January 2012- I got my English GCSE today!! After having to leave school and be home tutored getting an A was a massive achievement for me!
Couldn't of done it without the people who believed in me. 

23rd August 2012- I got a B in my maths GCSE!! Although I wasn't pleased at the time because I thought it wasn't the best mark I could of got, I am now really pleased with it! It took me a long time to get it which made me all the more grateful for getting it! Now brings my GSCE's too- A English, B Maths, C in science and an A* in RE (short course). So this isn't as many GCSE's as I had originally planned but it is enough for me to start on new things and hopefully go to college next year!
Proud of what I do have.   
Celebrating kiddi stylee!

Swim Swim Swim

29th December 2011- I went swimming for the first time in years!! Was so amazing to be in the water and float around and support my own body! Realised how much I love swimming!
Swimming is definitely the best exercise!

My legs do work!!

29th February 2011- First walked with my zimmer frame. After weeks of not walking I finally walked with the help of my zimmer frame!
  This was the sign that things can get better and would get better.

1st July 2011- I walked up the the stairs for the first time in 5 months!!! One of the simplest things for a healthy person but to me it was like a mountain in my own home, that I had to crawl up once a day. Well I did it!! And now I walk up them at least twice a day woopieeee!
 Never take the little things for granted, you never know when you could loose them.
Happy socks for a happy occasion!

So this is my first post and I have already done so many big achievements that I can't just start from now! So I'm going to do some little post's on what I've already achieved since being ill and a bit about them. Hope you enjoy!
