After a morning of phone around several medical professionals and being on-hold with a variety of booking lines I now have my dates for the cancer tests. The 4th October I can tell you that I feel a sense of relief that they are actually booked. Hopefully, I can then get some antibiotics to deal…

Hitting a bad patch
I’m struggling to write this post, I just don’t have the emotional energy, but I’m forcing myself. I had a few bad days last week, I assumed it was ‘just a blip’, they happy, and that’s OK. I can deal with that. But, the last few days have been hard work. I went home to…
Cancer or Not Cancer, another twist in the tale of OneCrazyCook
A week and a few days ago I noticed something unusual that caused me concern. So, I decided to get it checked out.
BBC News: Cancer waiting times ‘at worst level ever’ in England

National Pain Month – ‘I post photos of myself smiling on Instagram but I never have a pain-free day’
Living with chronic pain from the BBC is a fabulous article that really gets to the heart of what it’s like to live with chronic pain. I know full well how this feels and commend the author for managing to express so well, what it means to fellow sufferers. Well Done Auntie!

For the last few weeks, commuters across the UK have been suffering from #RailFail2020 in London. There is no guarantee when trains will arrive/depart or even turn up. Once again I had a crappy journey to work, despite being at the station at the normal time I was late for work. Thankfully I didn’t have…
Suffering from FailPlan2020
During the last week, I’ve been dealing with prep for a major demonstration/meeting at work as well as the changes to my commute inflicted by RailPlan2020. I would hesitate to call it a plan, very little seemed to have been communicated to station staff, train drivers and commuters alike. Since the start of the new…
Bye Bye Facebook
I discussed coming off facebook with a mate over the weekend and decided it’s worth trying. I know that there is a lot of talk about the harmful effects of social media these days, I did not even start to think about how it might be affecting me. So, as of yesterday afternoon I have…
