Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman…

I was so fed up and out of sorts yesterday and I didn’t really know why or what triggered it.  I just ended up getting into a huge downwards spiral of being sad about all the things that CP means I will never do or that I am unlikely to do.
This morning I awoke to [...]

What Defines Me

I was just sorting through a load of my old writings that I did for other places on the Internet as I am finally going to upload them to this website. I’ve decided to upload them seperate to this blog and link to them from the main wheelchairprincess.com page. Some of them are [...]

Ordinary Miracle

It’s not that usual when everything is beautiful
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

The sky knows when its time to snow
You don’t need to teach a seed to grow
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own
Isn’t it [...]

I. Am. So. JEALOUS. Right. Now.

My brother is off traveling for six months.  He went at the end of January with his girlfriend.  They started in Brazil (Rio), took a 24 hour bus journey and went to Argentina to see some waterfalls and then went back to Brazil (Sao Paulo).  Currently they are in Ecuador and next week they are [...]

To Remember Me

To Remember Me
By Robert N. Test
Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby’s face, or love in the eyes of a woman.

Yes, that part, you know [...]

Short Version

This is the short version
I’ve been in bed pretty much all the time since Tuesday with what my GP said was an acute migraine. I’ve said that I’ve had migraine’s before but I’ve not had one like that before and I hope I never do. It was nasty and really put paid to [...]

Freak Out

Hugs are desperately needed here,
I am having a minor freak out about some CP stuff.  Strange how knowing I needed a GP appt to discuss my spasticity is one thing, hearing the nurse say she’d booked me in for “one of the ones tomorrow that we kept reserved for urgent cases” is something completely different.  [...]

It’s a celebration

Four years ago today I was diagnosed with clinical depression.  I was put onto antidepressants and told I would need to take them for six months.  I was later told by a different doctor that I had been told that incorrectly and no one with clinical depression only takes meds for six months as the [...]
