Just the mere fact that I alone am responsible for my health and that I need to look out for myself, got me checking and doing some research into the active ingredient contained in my neurological medication. I guess you will be asking what brought about this need. Well whilst waiting for my test results from my haematologist to be out, I found myself pondering over the events of the last two years and recalling to mind the near death experience I had. The events surrounding that particular experience and the fact that my general physician had mentioned that some…

I know at the beginning of 2021, I noted how I had become accustomed to indwelling catheters because of baby veins and the remedy for baby veins but I failed to give instances of what had transpired to the need for these indwelling catheters. Funny enough, I seem to be going through the same issue all over again, so here’s my story. Exactly five years ago, as I had noted in one of my previous posts, my general physician had suggested to my folks the need for me to have an exchange blood transfusion which she deduced could reduce the…

In today’s post I’ve chosen to digress in a different sort of way.I’ve so many times pondered why I’m actually reserved and it causes me to recall that it’s typically as a result of my health. Considering the fact that I was ill on several occasions, and constantly away from school, I began to withdraw from others during my early childhood and constantly spent time all by myself, reflecting, wishing and thinking. I remember quite vividly a birthday party that was organized for me by my parents during my elementary school days. My mum had stumbled across paper cards that…

Now Sickle Cell Anaemia should have impacted positively on my feeding habits but I found it to be the entire opposite whilst growing up. Instead of making me crave to eat healthier it didn’t. I found myself disliking many of the meals that were recommended to be good for me. Soups and vegetables were never my thing. Fruits in addition. It took so much effort from me to long for those things or to indulge in them when they were close by. During my early childhood years, I overheard my mum frequently complaining to her friends that she doesn’t really…

I noticed that there were no comments from any of you on my post last week (“A fascinating journey”) only a few likes. So my post today will take a different turn because I had hoped to share a bit more based on the feedback I received.I know by reading the question once more, you will want to know where I’m headed. The said statement / question was the reason why a past relationship ended. Need I say more or delve deeper into it, I would like to share how I got over the situation. You see, the other individual…

I recall vividly when I decided to launch my blog back in April this year, I didn’t know what I would be getting into until I launched my site. First and foremost, social media had not been my thingy in the past but despite this I had been urged by two of my previous bosses to consider sharing my story because of all I had been through. One of them, God bless his soul, had urged me to use the forum of a live video. Anyhow, I guess it wasn’t the right time in the scheme of things according to…

It happened to be my birthday and I recall vividly someone asking me why I was still single and this question sparked a few memories. In my opinion I do believe everyone has their time and seasons in life but the particular memory that came to my mind was the feedback I had received from a past relationship just before it ended. This feedback was one I found to be a quite off and lacking a depth of insight. You see, sometimes one could set out and to be married to a partner who unknown to them could end up…
