I’m here…. Just last week, I found myself gazing on because I gotten other opinions from three experienced specialists. However, the diagnosis and remediation wasn’t one I was prepared to hear as they all said the same thing but in more complex ways. So, here I was, seated quietly, gazing on. Their opinions you ask? that I had no other choice than to go through the “doors” and have the procedure done. As I stared blankly, at a picture of a hip replacement, all I could think of was the “after pain”. However, this wasn’t what shocked me the most.…

I’d told myself I wasn’t going to blog about this particular issue so as not to discourage you warriors but I guess it’s become imperative of late being that it’s gone on for quite sometime now. If anyone had told me that there was a likelihood that what I suffered at the age of seven, would come back some day, I would’ve called it a big bluff. However, the feedback I’m getting from the medical field is that it’s common in SCD to reoccur. So what am I referring to exactly? Avascular Necrosis (AVN) – the death of bone tissue…

A few times I tried to access the backend of my site only to discover it was experiencing a technical issue, have in no doubt been rather unpleasant. I recall one particular incident when I contacted the hosting company and upon connecting to me, their female personnel sadly informed me that my site was under auction.  Wow! I literarily jumped out of my skin. “Are you serious” I retorted? Knowing I had fully paid my bills. “Yes ma’am, it looks so”, she explained.  “I’ll take another look. Please provide your site information once more” she asked. Whilst she was checking,…

I decided it may be ideal to draw up a list of topics that I would blog on this year, only for me to stop in my tracks. Why? It reoccurred to me that inspired posts cannot be drawn up. When a writer has a plan of what to write, it becomes very stifling and difficult to freely express him/herself. Except, it’s a spontaneous plan or occurs when they’ve chosen to participate in content writing. After canceling the above on my to-do list, I took a look at some of my blog topics on SCD, which I stated I’d seek…

I learnt from my very first post in 2021 that most people like to start their new year on a low note, so I don’t intend to disrupt this flow for the majority of you today. Instead, I guess I’ll just have a brief conversation with you all. I guess, you’ll be wondering how I arrived at my deduction above? Lol, well, I kind of monitored the trend last year and to say the truth, I lashed out at me for being too hasty and rather insensitive. Guess what though? When I raised the same topic later on that year,…

We made it!!! Welcome to 2022. A year of fresh opportunities and a higher calling. “…this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,….” Philippians 3v13. Happy New year!!!

Thank you for being a part of my 2021 and I look forward to being with you in 2022. Just knowing that you all made up my network of friends whom I discussed with at the end of each week, thrilled me. The same way our faces differ is also the same way our issues differ. Nonetheless, I hope and pray that your new year – 2022 gives you good health, joy, blessings and answered prayers. May 2022 leave a lasting smile on your faces such that every time you recount, you have hope whatever your situation. God bless you…

If you recall, I’d stated I’d take a look at some of the situations people grappled with, during the course of the lockdown, in an undefined order.  A closer look at those living in yards with nosy, temperamental neighbors, constantly in their faces, enduring their sneers or attitude, because of only one access to amenities such as borehole water, is quite a lot to take in also.  As I write, I recall watching a video that circulated on social media, which one may term as a classic example of a neighborly relationship gone sour. To summarize, two neighbors had an…

It won’t be such a bad idea to share something absurd today. Although, you may have to guess if it’s true-life or fictitious. Kindly term it as some of the multifarious problems one could encounter when they venture into life as a young adult. Before I begin, I’d like to say that sometimes there are two ways of viewing issues. Either one chooses to see their problems as a glass that’s “half full” OR a glass, that’s “half empty”. So here we go. When she ventured into world all alone, the experience to her was somewhat thrilling. Why? funds seemed to…
