I’m wrapped! 📸 So taking advantage of the magic that the hair and makeup crew on set did that made my skin look like it’s flawless, and this rainy lighting is perfection…will not delete. 😂😂😂

This is probably my last golf day for the season.

This is probably my last golf day for the season. Glad to be spending it with @christycampbell911 who is one of my best and favourite people in the world. We met over a decade ago in the very building in the background (she’s pointing her club where 😂). Totally love the laughs, the talks, and the goofy things we get ourselves into. Thanks for always being there. Love yah lots. #bff #bffs

I remember this day and the events leading up to i

I remember this day and the events leading up to it. I had been away on business in the US. Three days before heading home, I had been feeling sick - can’t sleep, feverish, can’t keep food down, in and out of consciousness, body aches and pain on my left foot; it swelled up to a balloon that I couldn’t wear my leg braces (I wore leg braces then) which means I won’t be able to stand on my leg. I bought crutches at CVS because I could still use my right foot & leg to bear weight. I even drove from my hotel to the airport to catch my flight.

When I got home from the flight, I went directly to ER. My own surgeon was thankfully on duty, and he took me directly to surgery to relieve the pressure of my foot swelling. He didn’t wait for a surgery room. He got ER to set me up in a fairly sterile room, got a surgical team of nurses and he started his procedure - lacerating the bottom of my foot.

The story is, I was going into another septic shock. He needed to let what was making my foot swell come out so that my body doesn’t reabsorb it and kill me. I spent 10 days in hospital on IVs, getting wound care and other things to clean out my system.

These are the struggles I’ve never shared before even in private. I was ashamed of what I was feeling then. I thought it showed me not being brave or having courage. Not being a man for taking on pain - being a wuss, being weak. I was worried showing weakness at work will mean losing my job. Showing or sharing what I was going through honestly with anyone means I am weak.

But now, I know better. I am human. I am a man. I am allowed to feel weakness. I am allowed to feel emotions. I am allowed to be me.

Join me and the rest of the panelist this Saturday, Oct. 9 as we discuss why representation matters.

Posted @withregram • @livingwithamplitude Will Hollywood ever give us a well-rounded, fully human amputee character? That day may be coming sooner rather later if @dan_aid , @kbridgets , and @amput_o have anything to say about it.

Join them and us this Sat at 1pm EDT to hear how real #amputee stories may be coming your screen faster than you think. A session of the @amputeecoalition virtual national conference.

Happy to close my “full season” (albeit short)

Happy to close my “full season” (albeit short) of throwing exactly to the year since my very first throw competition when I picked up para throwing just before COVID began. Medaling this season is not even the highlight this season. It’s setting 3 new PBs in my events. Put in some good work and learned a lot. Working towards new goals for next season. Taking a break as per my coach’s instructions until we start throwing again. For now, get strong, get healthy, stay in shape, veg coz that’s important too.
