Over the years ive been asked many questions i will try to answer them
here.
AMPUTEEISM: How do you manage the limb pain/stump pain? Fwiw this is an
agony which can go on for weeks, the medical answer is Morphine pure and
simple(side effects=blocked bowel) My answer is Yoga style meditation with
deep breathing and blowing the pain away and it does work.
Many new amputees from Afghanistan are shod as soon as possible, this is
good BUT if you feel better off in a wheelchair as i do use that
occasionaly hostility arises in the community, never back away, always
face your attacker and remember its always better to attack than to
defend, to see some one in a wheelchair chasing an able bodied is a lovely
sight and one which i have responded to many times. Be yourself. Your legs
were blown off you will have known very little because of the loss of
blood. Live with it and build yourself up. Stood i weigh in at almost 20St
and 6ft 6in and will square to any coward.
BOWELS: My surgeon impressed upon me the need to drink cold boiled water
all day long this has the effect of making motions soft and easy.
MEALS: Aside from a cereal brekkie of muesli or cornflakes eat one other
meal at about 12 noon 2 slices of toast with creamy chilly cheese on
weekdays at weekends have a light brekkie and at 12 a casserole with a
bottle of red table wine then go to bed for the rest of day.
If you are pill taking note red wine and cheese do not like each other so
after a good rest you will be ready for a good dump of refuse-excellent!
LIFE: if like me you are over 70yrs, try to get into a solid routine, get
out as often as you can and meet the lads at the Legion or your local njoy
life, then get home for lunch shack and a bit of news before a pm rest, my
wife is a good learner and if owt goes wrong with her freeview i will show
her how to fix it and she never troubles me again:)
Now Pete over to you but put her down!
