Once upon a long ago, I promised I’d keep writing this blog and tell you about the highs and low of life with an occasionally-grumpy tetraplegic. So you came along for the ride up until the point we got married, and then I kind of disappeared! No one to blame………………………………….
Four months before the wedding day, David’s carer left us. So whilst we searched for the perfect replacement, I became David’s full time carer….which believe me, is pretty intense and sometimes exhausting. Life with David is never dull but I was trying to manage my own work, wedding plans, gym………………………………….

Yup, all that and more! But the reality is that going away for us, is considerably more complicated. At………………………………….
You will know by now that I threw myself into this relationship with every bit of strength I had. I chose to take on David’s care and I wanted to get heavily involved with sailing and rugby. We have a fantastic life. It’s very busy, often exhausting keeping up with………………………………….
