I'm wanting to go to university (for the first time but I have applied before and chose to pursue something else)

The course I want to do is very niche (prosthetics & orthotics) only two unis offer this and I don't reach the right a level grades.

I have tried contacting the universities but I'm struggling to get any sort of definitive answer.

I personally have experience with the course in question as I use a prosthetic daily, I also know my way around a tool kit so I have a good understanding of how and why things may be built in a particular way.

My grades aren't shocking but they're a way of the AAA they'd like.

I have been told I should do an access to higher education course to introduce myself back into education and doing well will sort my grades out.

Through the two unis it's not obvious if this can be done through them or where can provide the right certificate. I'd much prefer to do it where I would hopefully go to uni so I'm not stuck having to make friends for a year and then again later.

Is there anywhere that could help me get a more definitive answer? Would it be worth applying for the course anyway and would this affect applying again the next year.

Has anyone had experience doing a foundation year. Or this access course and how to go about it?

Hi,

I've yet again been missing something from a McDonald's order (only place open at this time)

This time it was just the sauce for some nuggets but if they're consistently missing items hoping no one can be bothered to chase then they'll keep doing.

When the order is complete it gives me an option to thumbs up or thumbs down, change my tip, and rate the 'order'

The drive was fab and read the delivery note so I don't want to put anything against him or obviously refund the tip.

I just don't want to click 2/3 stars and it impact the driver. Hopefully someone here knows if it would or not

Hi,

Has anyone had a tattoo on their stump?

I've got one that needs some work due to the amputation and also something else I want on it.

It is on the inside and outside of my calf, not on the bottom stump itself if that makes a difference?

I'm not worried about the pain or sensation, I'll probably opt for numbing cream to be on the safe side though.

The main reason I'm asking is how it works wearing my prosthetic, I can take it easy while it heals but couldn't cope with not wearing it full stop, I obviously don't want to cause any problems though.

Would wearing second skin and changing it regularly help?
