Stop Listening To Course Advice from Parents

What advice would you give to your teenage self? I feel the biggest mistake I made as a teenager was being led in my career and courses by my parents. I wanted to join the army, I really wish I had. I also wanted to study French, Art and Art History and go to university

Sneezing after gastric surgery….. ouch!

Oh no one warned me. I wish I knew. That’s sneezing would be so burning painful after surgery too. It started with a sniffle, grew to full on sneeze. The pain shot through my abdomen and had me on my knees. Weeks later it’s still burning. It really hurts to move. Six to eight weeks

Sickness in the House

It started with a slight cough, then chills, uncontrollable shaking and sickness, we were hit. A house of lurg.

Anxiety arghhhh

I needed an Osteopath and my friend kindly recommended one for me, I tend not to see people who are not by recommendation; I’d never just chose someone at random my anxiety won’t allow it.
