![Proving everyone wrong.
There’s not much I hate more than being told I can’t do something
And since having my leg amputated, that has been a common occurrence
But do we listen to them? NOOO
Big shoutout to the professionals at hobbsrehabilitation who have been helping me get stuck back into these activities without actually damaging myself, appreciate you
Lots of love, hope you’re all having a lovely week ❤️❤️]()

![Learning to balance… In both senses of the word.
This was always going to happen.
I get way too ahead of myself the moment I can use the prosthetic again.
And then pay for it after.
I’m trying to develop a healthier relationship with the leg to avoid the boom and bust cycle.
Feeling a bit sorry for myself with the skin healing again but this time I only have myself to blame!
Couldn’t have asked for a better intro back to living life than at the motogp with monsterenergy .
Have a lovely Sunday you lot xx]()

![Standing up, no crutches, like nothing ever happened.
Man have I STRUGGLED with being sat in my wheelchair for the past month.
It’s like I was hit with an immediate life timeout and lobbed onto the sidelines to slow down.
But just like that we are back in actionnnn.
All these setbacks make life so much sweeter when it gets going again!!
I am a seriously lucky boy. Got to kick things off again with a huge weekend at the motogp in Barcelona with my crew from monsterenergy .
Thank you so much to all of you for sticking with me through this period recently, now it’s time to live again.
Lots of love xx

![All’s well that ends well I suppose??
Recently most of my posts have been about the botched surgery and the mountain climb.
So much that I’ve seen a few people in the comments asking how I lost my leg in the first place!!
Well let me tell you what happened if you don’t already know….
If you want anymore details after watching this vid I’m always happy to answer, so feel free to ask below and I’ll try get back to ya xx]()

![I guess I’m getting my own brekky tomorrow then…
I’ve had to do a period off my prosthetic so decided to go home and spend time with my parents.
My mum immediately just switches back into full caring mode and treats me like I’m a child again 🤣
Jokes aside, it’s so lovely to get quality time in with her as when I’m fully mobile I tend to spend my whole life out on the rooooad.
Enjoy your Friday peeps it’s nearly the weekend!]()

But another step (literally) in the road to recovery.
I think life as an amputee is gonna be this up and down cycle but I’m hoping that over time it gets a bit less hectic… although it’s probably my own fault.]()

![BACK ON 2 FEET… well sort of
After nearly a month of being sat in my wheelchair the wound on my leg has finally been deemed healed enough to put a prosthetic leg on.
As buzzing as I clearly am in all of these photos, it felt very very uncomfortable today and it’s going to be a long road back from here.
For now I will be on my crutches hobbling about but let me tell you, this is the start of a brand new chapter.
Thank you so much for all of the love and support during this awful period, every comment on these little updates has meant the world to me and I am so grateful for all of you.

![Moral of the story?…
Learn to sit down before life sits you down.
I know for some people the wheelchair is permanent
And I’m incredibly grateful that I have the ability to use a prosthetic leg again (hopefully soon)
But the truth is, I really struggle with periods in the the chair and I just don’t feel like myself at all
It does put everything into perspective though and I never ever take the ability to stand up for granted now
Have a lovely Sunday, lots of love xx]()

![I made a video similar to this a few months ago and hoped I would never have to again.
But the last month has been a big ol’ setback and I am in the wheelchair again feeling exactly how I did last time.
I know how this goes now… it’s frustrating, life is much harder… but it’s temporary.
Hope you’re all having a lovely week and getting on alright with whatever life is throwing your way xx]()

![Annoying day… again
Back to the hospital to get my stitches out.
Part of me thought they’d whip them out, stick me back in the prosthetic and send me on my way like nothing happened.
It turns out when you have a major trauma to any part of your body it needs time to heal… who knew.
I am going absolutely mental sat down all day in this thing 🧑🦽➡️
On the plus side, infection is under control, it looks like no more surgery for now and my mum escorted me on the train and kept me company all day.
Onto the next one.
Lots of love x]()

![These photos were taken in the immediate aftermath of the botched surgery.
You can see in my face how horrified I was, and truthfully I still am.
We were in Kyrgyzstan filming a documentary about climbing an unclimbed mountain, and tobyroney from the crew captured this moment.
Before everyone goes for him in the comments the chap in the photos is NOT the rogue ‘doctor’ who did this to me, it is Jake… one of the other film crew.
After the initial shock in the hospital lobby, we got back to the hotel room where we inspected the damage, called the UK medical team and redressed the wound ourselves.
That was the moment we knew the expedition was over before it had even begun.
Kyrgyzstan… we have unfinished business, and I will be back. 🗻🇰🇬]()

![Update: Finally some good news!!
Surgery went well, I’m still livid that I even had to have it and that I’m not halfway up a mountain right now… but I’ll get over it eventually.
Starting the long road to recovery, again! I’m praying this time I can get walking much quicker once this wound heals up.
Obviously my mum hasn’t left my side since the moment I touched down in the UK, I really do need to stop stressing her out so much the poor woman.
I can’t express how much all of your comments have meant to me during this period, the outpouring of love and support is genuinely mind blowing and I will find a way to repay this love to the universe.
Love you all so much xx]()

![Tough day… how have we ended up back here…
Thank you so much for the lovely comments on my last post and the messages of support, I really appreciate you.
Landed back in the UK, straight to hospital with mum in tow.
I’m struggling to get my head around why this ‘doctor’ did this to me.
Updates today haven’t been great… the wound is down to the bone and infected.
They did a procedure to clean it which was agony and may need to operate next week.
Worst case if it spreads to the bone, will need to have my knee chopped off… best case is weeks off my prosthetic in the wheelchair.
They said what the guy did to me in Kyrgyzstan medically is insane.
Your guys support has honestly meant the world to me and I will try to reply to all my messages soon.
Love you all.]()

I’m leaving for my expedition today but my stump has decided to swell up and I can’t get my prosthetic on.
Life is testing me at the moment!
I’ve actually tried to take it a bit easier this week for the first time in ages to avoid any leg issues but clearly something has gone wrong.
Shoutout to my mate jwarnockk for the inspo to share my ‘why’. I do sometimes feel like I’m my own worst enemy.

I’m so lucky to be able to get access to the best care possible, if you’re an amputee and you need advice feel free to reach out below and I’ll point you in the right direction.
I’ve been at the cutting edge hobbsrehabilitation Chedington facility getting myself sorted before the climb and my amazing crew from dorset_ortho came down to help sort the feet out. Appreciate you all xx
