As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok. When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

Losing that pressure to be something I'm not has been a life-saver this week. After taking Mike with me to the Dr and him promising to refer Dan back to the chest clinic, I went on my own with Dan and he would not refer him. Dan can't breathe lying down, can barely manage the stairs, never manages PE at school, and I know something is very wrong. For a child who has almost died twice, had...2 Recommendations13 Comments

I needed an epiphany, and I got one Friday that I've been considering throughly. All the things I love doing are prevented by either my dodgy hands, dodgy spine or dodgy hearing, so it's about time I accepted that and lowered my own expectations. I don't mean accept defeat, I mean stop aiming to do an English degree, or teach music, or run a marathon lol! There are still things I can ...3 Recommendations10 Comments

Well, I've been quiet! Stupid, stupid fingers. Still, it's my own fault. The garden looks fabulous, but my fingers look like sausages lol!
1 week, 1 day no booze, and I feel so much better. I didn't realise how much harm I was doing myself mentally until I stopped.
I know Ben has to go back to school because it's a fear he HAS to conquer. I think 7 months of relentless trying...1 Recommendation10 Comments -
Oh my! What a wonderful time Dan had yesterday. He and his friends headed off to the cinema, smiling ear to ear with a bag full of sweets with no additives (I'm not completely stupid lol). They arrived back for lunch, and Dan shut the door on Ben for a laugh. Ben just kept on running ........ through the pane of glass! Wow! What a noise! Dan's friends just froze. No one inside was injured...1 Recommendation9 Comments

Arial. There you go.
Yuck, just sneezed on the keyboard with a mouth full of cheese. That'll take some cleaning up.

I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.
Today I was doing rounds at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. It is common to have many folks hanging out in the waiting rooms outside of the surgical ICU waiting for the "5 ...2 Recommendations8 Comments -
Well, we had Ben's review today with a room full of peeps. I got given homework!! AAAAGH! I let slip that I wasn't terribly keen on going out, so now every time Ben goes to school I have to go somewhere that scares me a bit too! OK, so popping into town for a coffee on my own at Costa Coffee sounds like a treat, doesn't it? But not to me!! I'm weird. If I see a lonely old chap eat...1 Recommendation8 Comments

A day or so ago yer Muver commented on my scruffy and unkempt appearance saying, "you always used to shave before you came to bed when we were first married". My reply that, "I thought you fancied a bit of rough" didn't go down well so last night I decided to really make an effort and as you will see, all to no avail.
I had a nice shower with a pongy shower jell,...1 Recommendation5 Comments
