David Holmes Instagram – If anybody is wondering why I’m not going to be live on stage at this week’s TEDxSoho, well, this is the reason I’m currently in bed with one of the worst infections I have been hit with in ages. I’m waiting on some results back, but I think I might have either E. coli or a urine infection.
This is the reality of disability … you work so hard for something, be so excited for something then the reality of living in my body has humbled me once again. So it’s back to my mattress prison for at least a week I reckon. I have to recover from this infection, I also have a small cut on my backside, which is going to force more bedrest on top.
I really am devastated. I have spent months learning a 10 minute monologue after working with a couple of amazing writers to try and and trim what I originally proposed. I have learned and learned and learned this speech and I really wanted to be up on that stage representing myself, my disability, the stunt community and my documentary in the best way possible but fate and circumstance has dealt me a cruel, cruel blow and I must lie here humbled taking care of myself and my body so I can live to fight another day. | Posted on 16/Jun/2024 19:22:48
