1 week to go until my 8 week x ray it could mean I’m up and walking within a week and starting intensive physio or it could mean another 4 weeks of bed rest!

Going through a major trauma your medical aid (hopefully you have it) covers insurmountable fees for you care.
But what don’t they pay for that you might need?
Well I’ll show you a list of some of the things they don’t pay for in this video but it’s by no means everything I completely forgot to put my bed rails in which are everything to me being able to move in and out of bed.
They also often don’t cover carers, physios or psychologists should you need them. And if they do it’s often a very limited number of sessions. And obviously nobody covers your lost income (PPS won’t cover me as I’m a foreigner)!
So again thank you for everyone who has helped on my GoFundMe page which is my lifeline right now!
Link is in my bio!

I am so lucky to be able to say my current disability will not be for life I should make a full recovery.
But being in this state currently has given me plenty of opportunities to think about what it’s like for others that aren’t as lucky as me!
So next time you see the old lady with a broken arm, or somebody in a wheelchair then be conscientious, be kind. Next time you want to just park in that disabled bay for a minute or two just don’t.
Life can be hard enough, for people with disabilities it can be harder so think and don’t make it harder still!
And for those few kind people that did help us today, thank you!

Everyone needs a reason!
A reason to get up in the morning, to do better, to rest, to care, to give more, to do more and to save our wildlife and its ecosystems!

Last day in prison… hospital… it’s been 4 weeks pretty much and I’m so grateful that I am strong and fit enough and have such wonderful support that I can carry on my recovery at home.
I’m still on bed rest for another few weeks and then after that’s it’s all up to the X-rays and the surgeon. But fingers crossed I can get up and moving!
The transition home is going to be difficult to not be able to do what I want in my own space but it’s just another step on the journey!

Thanks so much for Donna and Trevor for getting me out on my new years slump! It’s been a hard few days!
It was great to see you and I love my presents.
It’s lame but this is the first thing I’ve done/accomplished/finished since I got to hospital so it’s really cool!
On to bigger better things…. After I eat all these cookies!!

It’s not just wildlife baby season it’s baby season everywhere in livestock and with horses (in this case miniature ponies). It’s a time to take stock of our blessings and start to think about the year ahead! #vet #wild #veterinarian #veterinary #vetmed #veterinarymedicinestudents #vetmedstudents #easterncape #southafrica #ithembawcs #wildlifevet #wildvet #rescue #release #rehab #rewild #conservation #horse #horses #ponies #miniponies #sheep #lambs
Another cheetah in another home! Cheetah relocations are so important to keep increasing the genetic diversity of the species and ensuring good breeding for future generations! #vet #wild #veterinarian #veterinary #vetmed #veterinarymedicinestudents #vetmedstudents #easterncape
2023 Elephant Relocation first of its kind in the EC!
Check out the team in action!
Posted @withregram • @theaspinallfoundation #FLASHBACKFRIDAY
The Addo Elephant National Park, in collaboration with TAF, Conservation Solutions, The Wildlife Emergency Fund, and SANParks, has launched an innovative project to address the surplus of 300 elephants within the park. Recognizing the need for pioneering action, the park has undertaken the unprecedented task of translocating family groups of elephants.
For the first time ever, family units comprising 6 elephants and 3 bulls have been relocated to the Bellevue Forest Reserve, while another group consisting of 6 elephants and 1 bull has been transported to Babanango, with the aim of establishing a new population.
This groundbreaking initiative demonstrates the viability of translocating family groups as an effective measure to ease population pressures in Addo. Let us applaud this significant stride towards elephant conservation.
