The title makes it sound fancy but its not. I guess if I was a pro golfer a sabbatical might be the right word but I have decided to take a year out from playing golf. I didnt make the decision lightly and I thought long and hard about it but this last year I… Continue reading Taking a sabbatical from golf

Flashbacks from Intensive Care
In my previous post I wrote how I had had a bit of a rough hospital admission and ended up in intensive care, which is not new. I have been before several times and this time in all honestly was not the worst I have been. I wonder if that is why I am having… Continue reading Flashbacks from Intensive Care
Terrifying experience
I have been longing to write down what I have recently been through but at the same time I have had no idea about where to start and have no energy to really sit down and process everything. Over the years I have been in and out of hospital, in and out of resus, intensive… Continue reading Terrifying experience
Venting frustrations…..again
Everything seems to be a bit negative just now and I really don't like it but I do find writing down things that bother me cathartic and really help get them out my head and mulling over them.

I remember the one I always wanted… Continue reading Inhaler decals for SPEAK Asthma
Inhalers in Schools
Last year the law changed which allowed schools to keep inhalers for emergencies in school much like an epicene etc. Until then an asthmatic child had to have their own individual named and prescribed inhaler which was carried on their person or kept under lock and key- something which is not useful in an emergency… Continue reading Inhalers in Schools
“Just relax and concentrate on your breathing”
I smile to myself as I write this post for a number of reasons. It seems apt to write this while I can't sleep because of my asthma and am sitting on the couch hunched over with a neb making it easier to breathe- I wish I could just relax back it would be so… Continue reading “Just relax and concentrate on your breathing”
Pharmaceutically Enhanced!
I read an article recently which challenged my thoughts on modern medicine and how I have become totally reliant on pharmaceutical products. I am so thankful for all the developments in medicine and where medication is now. Everyday I take a concoction of medication and far too many for someone in their late twenties almost… Continue reading Pharmaceutically Enhanced!
What else to do at 5am!!!!
Over the past week I have been really bothered by my chest. At this time of year there are always a lot of coughs and colds going around so it is no surprise I managed to catch one but it just feels like it won't go away. The constant coughing is wearing and exhausting. It… Continue reading What else to do at 5am!!!!
