A place to create…

I have plans.

I want to write a play. I want to write a book. I want to organise my next adventure. And the only way I can sort my head round that, is to create a place to allowed my brain to go free…

So I created a workplace… kinda my office! Now I don’t know why, but to focus in, I need chaos. It didn’t used to be, but since the stroke, I need music or videos; something I also enjoy. Therefore, my old Mac and skateboard video helped me to focus on a new powerpoint for an upcoming conference I’m speaking at.

(And no, thats not Pac-Man on the screen, just a bit of Chomp On This, great video!)

Thus the place has started. I’m working on the first project and, hopefully, will be more of a regular on here!

CTRL+ALT+DELETE

Yup!

I’m back… hopefully, this time I’ll stick around.

Was going to delete all the previous posts, and totally restart again, but what would that help? All part of the process, right?

So, what has changed? Well, apart for my weight, not a lot! Haha! Actually, I am back in ‘Heart Failure’.

I always think this a bit of a shock statement for a this, but I’m not a doctor and that’s what they call it. It just seems a bit BANG… HEART FAILURE. END OF., but I know it’s not they end, it can be fixed. Like a fuel pump in a car, a decent mechanic and sort it with the right tools, and I suppose I’m the mechanic here. It’s all about the ejection fraction, and my percentages is 40-45%. So, not quite in the severe area, but still not great. I’m on medication and, hopefully, will start to get my movement back again. And closing weight again will help!

Still rehabbing from the stroke; trying to start reading again… thon aphasia is rife here. If you don’t know, aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage in a specific area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension.

Next couple of months is rehab, physically and mentally, and speaking at a few conferences. And then… HOLIDAY! More of that in a later post… see you all then!
