Growth and Recovery
Back in November 2018 my world came to an end.
I suffered a Cerebellar stroke that Physically affected the left side of my body, my mind and my speech. Initially I made fast progress, then like so many other people something affected that progress.
I am now, once again at a point in 2023, after 3 years of marginal health, where I can begin to make some changes.
This is My Story
This is how I still see myself
As a Full-Time Mountain Skills Instructor.
A Career that I adored.
Of course, that is no longer the case
Only a few years ago
I was still working as an instructor well into my 50's. when at the age of 58 I suffered a Cerebellar stroke caused by falling down on the mountain too often. I had injured my neck and switched my legs off in a fall in 2016 shortly after this photo It took a while for full the deterioration to manifest itself. The past few years have been something of an uphill challenge of its own.
These days
I have been following a daily Routine of Qigong and simple TaiJi, to regain my equilibrium and get myself ready for the mountains once more. You can usually find me Out and About creating videos for TikTok in various beautiful locations in Eryri/Snowdonia - The National Park in North Wales U.K.
