Currently listening to one of your older stories. As I have been every night. I wish I could do more.

I am not far from tears as I write this. I cannot believe what you are going through. I am just a humble 70 y-o pensioner, & am facing a few challenges of my own, but thought I'd share with you what my GP told me when I went for my annual check-up a few days ago: "You are not like a normal 70 year-old" - meaning, I listened to advice, & worked hard to stay healthy. I'd say, Sam, that you are not like a "normal" road trauma survivor. You somehow still have the determination, and the spirit, and the commitment, to reach out to us, your friends and followers, and I - and everyone else, I am sure - are deeply grateful for that. I continue to pray daily for you. Love from Amanda in Albany

From a person who went through a bone tumor removal operation and two years of recovery, your stories helped me so much, through many a sleepless night, so thank you very much for all your hard work, now it's your turn to take it easy, at the time it feels like it will never end, and is very hard and slow, but it does get better, rest, positivity and taking each day as it comes goes along way. Get well soon

Since it takes me about a dozen sleepy times until I have heard at least most of each story and I haven't even heard three quarters of them at all yet, I don't even need new stories for the next ten years, lol. So take your time.

I'm ashamed to say it's the first I've heard of your problem 😢 I stumbled across you about 1/2 years ago when I was desperate for sleep. Thank you for helping me to heal, you're in my daily life! Sending love, hugs and healing

Snooze with Sam
Hello everyone ❤️
Thank you as always for being so patient with a next update. I only have the use of one hand just now, so I apologise for being fairly brief.
This will never change, but I want to wholeheartedly thank you all for continuing to listen and support as you are. You blow my tiny little mind every day. So do my closer support network of Christine, my parents, my sister, my friends and everyone else who has been by my side through what has become through hardest thing I've ever had to face, and a lot tougher than I'd care to admit.
After having tasted sweet, sweet freedom, I am back bed bound in High Dependency after an initial operation to apply a skin flap graft from my wrist to my right ankle. Unfortunately, there had been no healing in the right foot over the last 2 months, so we started again with this side. The first operation eventually failed about 36 hours later, meaning back into theatre to try again. It has now been 48 hours since and we're now hopeful this 2nd attempt will stick. I am hoping it'll only be another few days being stuck in this bed. The pain is still a very real thing. I am humbled by it's everlasting presence.
3 limbs put of action now! Who's keeping count? 😜
It's been 2 months now, and there's no sign of the exit yet. So the saying goes; two steps forward, one step back.
I don't mind admitting this last week has beaten the life out of me on a few occasions. I am not superman. I am not invincible. I am fragile, as much as I try to he as strong and resilient as it is possible to be. But it's quite clear to me that my experiences of life going forward will absolutely revolve around my people. ❤️ My family. My community. You are all part of that.
Thank you for being patient with me. Stories will go out when I can physically make them. Believe me, I am trying my absolute hardest to get out of this, all the while trying to learn as much as possible on the way.
Love to you all, from an uncomfortable bed somewhere in Glasgow, baking his leg at a steady 38⁰C. 😘 S x
Should you feel like supporting us just now and for the coming year of inevitable recovery, which we have NO expectation of at all, then here are some ways you can do so. Thank you so very much.
