From people who came through it

  • β€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad and my nurse specialist has been more useful than the consultant, if you have one ask for their number, go slowly.”

  • β€œFor whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was two years ago. An amputation below the knee, every single day. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy.”

  • β€œI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't, but you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong so I had to stop googling so it made everything worse.”

  • β€œEighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Losing sight in one eye, every single day. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.”
