This is what recovering from a setback looks like. It don’t matter if it’s a big or small setback, it’s about recovering and one day being able to stand tall again! Work hard to get where you want to be. 🫡 #Motivation #benmcbean

Why can you and I have a nightmare? After being blown up in Afghanistan, leg ripped off, arm hanging off. I had to use certain tools to help me survive those dark moments. When I was in intensive care did I get to fall back on the tools I used in Afghanistan? No. Those tools

This was my setup in Afghanistan.

I get that some people don’t like me because I was in the armed forces and they don’t agree with war, conflict and so on. However, if you’re going to try insult me, or another veteran. This whole let’s just say you’ve killed innocent people deliberately as if that’s how we were

The big bits of metal, shrapnel, tore my limbs off. The small bits gave me small wounds. This is what the small bits look like. Every so often they push themselves out. Most of it will stay in my body though. That’s life. 🫡

When I was in hospital I decided to run the London marathon. This is where I am, hospital bed. Marathon finish line is where I want to be. It’s called AMBITION! Truth be told, along the way things didn’t look good for me and I started finger pointing, if this person hadn’t done

Came across the first prosthetic arm I received. It’s called a split hook. It does pick bits and bobs up but the reality is it doesn’t replace the real one, and it’s heavy. I just tuck things under my armpit and try carry as much in my one hand.🫡

I’ve had setbacks since I was a kid believe it or not. This was another. Luckily over the years I’ve learnt something from each one. I’ve become tough, resilient, robust. It takes its toll but it allows me to crack on regardless of what I go through. If you can, take something

Don’t be afraid to say you’ve had a bad day. Week, month, year. Better than posting a gym pic from when you felt good.🫡

I’m not going to pretend lifes hard. It is. I’d rather be honest with this than pretend I can do karate 🫡. I just live in reality.

This is how I feel right now. I’m trying, I really am. But it’s hard work and I’m tired. I didn’t ask for this. But kinda did. It’s ok to feel sorry for yourself the same way it’s ok to celebrate a win. Which hopefully will come. 🫡

Looking good so far 🫡

If I had the opportunity to go back to Afghanistan, to the site where my life changed. I’d say no thanks. I wouldn’t get anything positive out of it. Sometimes in life you just have to move on and not go back looking for peace. 🫡

Why did I not know about this?

By not having an emotional connection with my injuries anymore, whenever I look at them, I have a different perspective. It’s not, oh I can’t look at that, brings back too many emotions. Instead it’s, yeh I went through that but here’s the thing…… then I help people. 🫡 That’s
