Thank You Liz & Neil

Post by MarcsOnFire »

Hello People.

I just wanna say thank you to Liz and Neil for a brilliant and enjoyable weekend. It was great to get together with everyone. I learnt stuff I didn't know and it was good to see other TBPI's with recovery which has given me something to aim for.

Thanks again to the two of ya...........I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Marc

P.S. Raspberries Rule!!!!!!!!!

Thanx Marc!

It was great for me to meet you and Steve (and Tamsyn!)and I'm glad you gained something positive from the gathering...I know Neil and I had a brilliant time, which was over far too soon...it was a really amazing experience to meet everyone in one go, and one that will be repeated hopefully in the very near future.

Next time I'll find a bigger pub! (It's a pity you missed that bit...!)

Thanks for coming....Liz xx

YEP; RASPBERRIES UNITE!! ;0)

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: January 1980 Yamaha RD200 vs 16 wheeler truck, result, 1 totally paralysed right arm. I was 21, now 54. I had no surgery, I don't regret this. Decided to totally ignore limitations (easily done aged 21) adapted very quickly to one handed life, got married, had 3 kids, worked- the effect of the injury on my life (once the pain stopped being constant) was minimal and now, aged 54, I very rarely even think of it, unless I bash it or it gets cold, then I wish I'd had it amputated :) Except for a steering knob on my car, I have no adaptations to help with life, mainly because I honestly don't think of myself as disabled and the only thing I can't do is peel potatoes, which is definitely a good thing.

Marc & Tamsyn, u not only missed a great night in the pub, you missed the legendary lasagne afterwards too....thanks again liz & neil, it was worth travelling 12,000 miles, if only to see a northern brickie drinking shandy! :0)

yeah it was great meeting you guys, some for the 1st time, sorry i was late and didn't see much of Marc and those who left before the pub.. yup i was GATSO'd (caught speeding on cam) trying to get in front of the monsoon that hit the M1,when it hit it was scary, more like powerboating than a motorway!! Liz i'm dead impressed with Neil's house renovating skills can he come and help with mine for a while? ;O)
THANK YOU for your hospitality and everyone who showed (I'll keep quiet about the shandy Karl!) i had a great time, nice one! :O)
