amputee blog hiking hospital survivor truestory

On a remote, desolate Scottish hillside, a climber lays trapped under a boulder. A simple decision to turn left rather than right has devastating consequences for the rest of her life.  On her journey of recovery, she makes the most unbearably tough decision and can only carry on as her mind shatters like glass inside her. 

But in the midst of tragedy, there is still life to continue and with it just a touch of the darkest humour. Brutally honest and undeniable compelling, this story will take you from the depths of ketamine-holes and the heights of helicopter rescues - a story that follows the inner-workings of the NHS from a patient's point of view and one woman's struggle to get back all she has lost.

This is the blurred line between being lucky and being unlucky. This is my story.

Almost all of this story was written contemporary to the time the events occurred. I haven't gone back to read or edit them and I'm not sure I intend to. I'm not sure I could ever build up the courage to read them again and so these chapters are somewhat like a diary from the time - perhaps some of them make sense, perhaps some of them don't. In either case, I hope you enjoy!All Rights Reserved

HOOK by NicolasTsamis

According to a story from the far reaches of the East, a man was walking alone at night along a steep path near a mountain peak. The sky was covered with thick clouds. It was pitch black. Suddenly, he stumbled, lost his footing and fell into the void. Instinctively, he reached out his hand and managed to grab onto a thick branch that extended out from the edge of the cliff. He called for help, but the only response was his own voice echoing through the ravine. There was no one there to hear him. A few hours later, he felt his strength abandoning him. His anguish grew. When he could hold on no more, the first light of dawn began to dissolve the dense darkness. He looked down and laughed as he saw that just a few inches below his feet, there was a large, flat rock. He could have let go of the branch at any time during the night and stood on it. But he would have done so without knowing. Without being certain. By overcoming every fear, real or imagined...

Memoirs of A Healer/Clinical Social Worker: Autobiography of Bruce Whealton by BruceWhealton

A healer. A survivor. A victim of profound injustice. How does someone who has dedicated their life to helping others find the strength to heal themselves after losing everything? In December 2019, I woke up in a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt. A simple conversation with another patient sparked a shift within me-a glimmer of clarity that would change the course of my life. But how did I end up there? What devastation could drive a loving spouse, a therapist, and a lifelong survivor to the edge of despair? This book unravels the journey that led me to that breaking point and how I found the strength to keep living. My story is one of triumph and tragedy-of overcoming paralyzing shyness and social anxiety to become a psychotherapist, only to have my life shattered by unimaginable injustice. Between 2000 and 2006, I lost everything I had built: my home, my career, my community, and the love that once gave my life meaning. The destruction was sudden, like a meteor crashing down, and the aftermath left me in ruins. Worse still, the world condemned me as a villain when I was only ever a victim. But this is not just a story of loss. It is a story of survival, of how I faced the darkness and chose to keep living. It is a testament to how love, hope, and the power of connection can guide us through even the longest night. Through this memoir, I share not only my pain but also my triumphs-the moments of joy, love, and meaning that kept me fighting for life. I write this book for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or unjustly condemned. I write it to show that healing is possible, that our stories matter, and that no matter how broken we feel, there is always a path forward. This is my story. But it is also a story of hope-for you, for me, and for anyone who has ever longed for justice, healing, and love.

Give Life A Chance! by CrazedWriter123

# Prologue Some moments shatter us so completely that we forget what it means to be whole. The accident took more than two lives that night-it took the version of Freen who believed in tomorrow, who laughed without hesitation, who saw possibility in every sunrise. In the aftermath, she became a ghost haunting her own existence, moving through days that felt borrowed and undeserved. The world continued spinning while she remained frozen in that terrible moment when everything changed. Friends offered comfort she couldn't accept, family spoke of healing she couldn't imagine, and time moved forward while she stayed trapped in the wreckage of before. She had convinced herself that surviving meant nothing more than breathing, that the guilt of living when they couldn't was punishment enough. The pieces of her former self lay scattered like debris after a storm, too sharp to touch, too broken to reassemble. Until Becky. Sometimes salvation comes disguised as an ordinary Tuesday, wearing a familiar smile and carrying an unexpected truth: that it's not only okay to live after tragedy-it's necessary. That honoring the dead doesn't require joining them in stillness, but rather in embracing the gift they no longer could. This is the story of learning to live again, of discovering that giving life a chance might be the most courageous thing we ever do. Give Life a Chance and It Might Surprise You! Adapted Fanfiction!!! Credit goes to the original author!

The Corruption Within Us by Seth189

WARNING: this book includes blood, manipulation, cursing, and mature topics (not smut please don't think that). Feel free to click off if any of these make you uncomfortable. ~•~ Something about it was so mysterious about this cave, and I wanted to know more. I entered the cave and saw a red crystal sealed in ice. "Woah." I whispered. The crystal glowed and the ice shattered. I jumped back and fell to the ground, watching as the ice broke completely. My eyes widened and I looked at my hands. "Did I do that?" I asked, but before I could answer, I heard a guard shout for backup as they had heard the ice shattering. I quickly jumped up and stashed the crystal in my pocket before leaving. I crept to the cave the following day, putting the crystal back into the remains of the ice pillar. As I walked away, the crystal fell, causing it to break into a million pieces. I jumped at the sudden noise and stumbled backwards, my eyes widening as a black smog formed around the crystal. "No, no, no, no! Frick." I desperately tried to grab the remains of the crystal, causing one to cut my hand. "Ow! Shit." I whispered, looking at my bleeding hand. "Tch, tch, tch, poor child." A demonic voice said. I looked up and saw that the black smog had two red eyes and a wide, sick smile that was dripping with venom. "I- who are you?" I asked, backing up. "The one who can help you out of here." It said, stretching out a hand. I looked it up and down and before I could answer, its hand plunged into my heart, causing me to scream out in pain.

[1] Apocalypse: Third Rebirth by Devilbesideyou1320

What would you do when four men come into your life and completely turn it upside down?... All I wanted to do was hide away on my ranch with no one to bother me, but apparently, they had different plans. Luckily for them, this was not my first zombie apocalypse. If they learn to listen, we might just get out of this with our lives. If not, maybe I would finally be able to rest in peace. Li Dai Lu was born and raised Canadian in her first life. This meant that she was taught how to share, how to put others first and to keep the peace as much as she could. However, that all backfired in a spectacular way. Reborn in a new time and place, Li Dai Lu did her best to protect all those that she could from the zombies that were wiping out the human race. Unfortunately for her, those she rescued were not as grateful as they should have been. Killed by the very people she saved, she held her breath and waited for the calm, peacefulness of death. But the Fates were not too accommodating and our heroine woke up in her third life, a year before the zombie apocalypse. This time she would live life on her own terms, and to those that disagreed... well, she would have a few words for them. With four men at her side, she will shed the cloak of civility and become who she was truly meant to be. WARNING!!! This will turn into a Reverse Harem. Mature Content and Vulgar Language on board, and Rage Bait at the start.
