I recently asked on my twitter if anyone had any questions about patient and public involvement (PPI) and I got a few messages and emails with questions. I am going to divide my answers into two different posts. One post answering questions asked from a patient perspective and what PPI is like and then another… Continue reading Patient and Public Involvement- What is it all about??

Sadness and comfort rolled into 1

December 20, 2017 justTUX

This past week has been really tough and emotionally I feel a wreck. In fact I don't really know how I feel. There is a surreal aspect to everything like everything is a dream and I am just waiting to wake up from it and everything will be alright again.

December 2, 2017December 2, 2017 justTUX

Today for me was a day spent reflecting and remembering. Remembering the good times. It is the 6th anniversary of my Grandpa's death.
