Hi everyone,
My apologies for not being on the Scope Community for a very long time!
Winters are always rough, I rarely go out and my pain levels are higher but in the summer I bounce back and manage to get out and enjoy lower pain levels.
This year I didnt bounce back and in almost a year I have left the house just over ten times, they were all medical appointments as I am still trying to find a consultant who will agree to amputation of my left leg!
Also my WordPress blog took off and a Facebook group I set up has done so well and so a mixture of health and the two projects has meant I haven't been able to get on here.
However I do want to be more active on here, so I have some admins keeping an eye on the group and that means I can pop in here a few times a week!

Hi @Zec Richardson,
Great to hear from you! What's the address of your blog and Facebook group? I'd love to have a read.

My website that started out as a blog only has evolved, I wrote a review about a beard oil last year and now I have recieved almost 160 beard care products for review!
However there are still blog posts that I occasionally write about life and disability and I need to really concentrate on that more. The Facebook group is a bearded group
