“Can it ever end? will it ever be completely over?” These were the questions I seemed to be asking myself the entire week. Why? A new development has suddenly occurred without warning. Do you all recall sometime last year in a previous post where I mentioned that I twisted my right knee and how that knee was placed in a cast? Well, it turns out presently that the knee has been swelling intermittently. Initially when it began, I underwent a venous doppler scan of my right limb and nothing was seen. However, a recent doppler scan shows fluid retention in…

One’s perspective does make a huge impact when suffering from certain disorders as it determines the individual’s ability to cope despite the odds. I’d like to take a look at one common disorder which is Insomnia. Sometime in the past, a friend of mine explained her ordeal to me, how insomnia had started very early in her childhood. She was perplexed as a young child by the issue, to the point that she would cry unending for hours with her mum by her side, asking why she was unable to sleep. The insomnia sometimes could rid her of sleep for…

Tell me something, what do you do when you are idle or bored and craving something new to do?Such times can be so discouraging and rather annoying especially if after searching deep, you simply cannot find an activity to spice up your day, lol. Last week Saturday and this week Friday (after hours) was one of those days for me. What did I do differently? let me see. Last Saturday, I found myself sleeping in until about noon when I decided that it might be a great idea to stock up my fridge with variety of meals. My family and…

I’d like to conclude this post today knowing I had ended it abruptly two weeks ago. As stated earlier, I was wrong in every way for lashing out at my friend, so when the rain of insults came my way, I knew I had to make amends but how was I to do so if my friend was unwilling to listen. As all my pleas seemed to be hitting a brick wall, I decided to take a step back and give him sometime hoping that his anger would ward off. This particular individual in question was a course mate from…

“Onuoma’s blog” turned a year old this week and I guess more than anything it has been a thrilling experience so far. The blog started amidst the Covid-19 pandemic when writing seemed to be a natural avenue to ease tension and get thoughts out in the open.Feedback from a percentage of readers say its been an impacting experience. This however, got me thinking of the aim and objectives of the blog. Yes, I know the most important part of it is providing succor to other Sickle Cell Warriors out there but I guess my greatest challenge has been making the…

It seemed pretty odd to me about three weeks ago. Sometimes silently walking away from arguments can be difficult especially when you know you may be right. In fact being the bigger person in issues, the one who ideally takes the first step to seek reconciliation isn’t just as easy.I had reached the point whereby I seemed to be having my fill of negative feedback especially in the form of arguments and all I wanted to do was to shut down in solitude. So what then was the problem you’ll ask. Well, I got quite a run down from someone…

In today’s post I would like to recall some of the challenges I encountered working in an office. I recall vividly when I had gotten employed in my present job. I concealed the fact that I was a warrior to everyone hoping that my work would speak for itself. Anyhow during my first six months at the office, I started to fall ill every now and then. I just couldn’t figure what was triggering it because I knew deep down that although I had targets to meet there wasn’t any undue pressure from my superiors at the firm. Anyhow I…
