If I was Mike Tyson, I would be very proud to be still referred to as one of the most hardest and notorious boxers of all time. I start with this statement because after people have seen my face after my accident on Monday, they all say that I look as if I have been boxing with Mike Tyson.

Not one person has chosen another boxer. I haven’t heard anyone saying that I look like I have gone through 12 rounds with Frank Bruno, Ricky Hatton or Amir Khan.

I have been heartened by all the support I have received from family and friends, and I wish I could say that I was fighting with Iron Mike because It doesn’t sound as glamorous to say that I fell off my shower chair face first onto the bathroom floor. I have a small fracture to my skull and a broken nose but It will take more than that to defeat me 

I am now back at home after 2 nights in hospital. Thank you for all the support and understanding as I try to rest and recuperate.

I also have to start negotiating with occupational therapists to try to get an improved shower chair that is both comfortable and fit for purpose. I have been complaining about my current shower chair for a few years and perhaps now I will be finally listened to…
