Sometimes the little things people do in life are those that make the biggest impact. I am writing this post now in May even though I am having a break from my blog until I next see my consultant. I won't be publishing it now as I write it but writing is therapeutic and this… Continue reading The good people!

Why I took a break
I posted earlier that I was taking a break because I had stuff going on. I still have stuff going on but am making more sense of it now and coming to terms with decisions I am making to better myself in the long term. It may not seem like much to some but sport… Continue reading Why I took a break

Clinic apps vs being a good patient vs being a bad patient

World Asthma Day 2015
Tomorrow is World Asthma Day aka WAD! This time last year I didnt think too much about it and never even thought I would be where I am today.

They need to fast forward 10, 15, 20 years and try taking those precious breaths which they… Continue reading 23 days on….. and its only got worse!

Every month I have to go to clinic and see my respiratory consultant and have a battery on lung function tests. Lung function… Continue reading Another clinic appt another disappointment 😦
Feel like that duck…
Feel like that duck you see calmly swimming in the pond but take a look under the water and his feet are paddling furiously just to keep a float. Chest wise I feel that I am managing to keep the outside world seeing me as ok but when I leave work and get back home… Continue reading Feel like that duck…
Wanting to be your age.
Tonight was one of those nights when I just wanted to be able to act my age and forget any worries and enjoy the moment. It was the end of season dinner which is always a fantastic night with members of Capital Lacrosse Club. As a club I have always felt so welcomed and want… Continue reading Wanting to be your age.
