Dan's Adventure

Since I returned to the UK 6 weeks ago updates have been few and far between and for that I apologise. A lot has happened over the last few weeks and my circumstances are now entirely different.

When my Dad met me at Glasgow airport I was in a wheelchair. For the next few weeks I barely left my parent’s house. I hobbled around on crutches but generally found it easier to just stay seated. Over time it did get easier. I started walking short distances with one crutch and then I tried not using that either. I could only make it a few metres though before it became a problem.

Initially I had no intention of looking for a new job until I was fully recovered, but after I updated my LinkedIn profile I was contacted by recruitment agents for a plethora of jobs. The following week I found myself on the train down to London for interviews. I successfully hobbled from interview to interview on my crutches, the result of which was offers from my first two choices before I had even finished all of the interviews that had been scheduled. I accepted one of them, cancelled the rest and headed back up to Scotland.

The following week I was once again on the train to London. This time the purpose was to find somewhere to live. I hate flat hunting with a passion so once I found somewhere that I could get the keys for almost straight away I jumped at it. I moved in two weeks ago.

Two days after moving I started my new job.

Best of all, the crutches and I have now parted ways. After leaving my crutches in coffee shops twice, it was obvious that I didn’t need them anymore. I am however still taking things easy, but I am very glad to be crutch free.

Although I am now working full time and living in London, I do still have a lot to write about. Over the next few months there will be more about my travels, lots of photos, and maybe a bit about my adventures in London.
