Stroke Rehab Review

June 11, 2014

Stroke Rehab Review I was back today to see the lovely stroke nurses and physio’s at Stroke Rehab for a review of how I am doing. Nowadays I feel like a bit of a fraud walking into the cardiac rehab unit.  I have no problems with walking or conversations now.  My...

Gotta lose this weight

June 4, 2014

Gotta lose this weight Right I have decided enough is enough. Time to get some weight off.       The photo of shame!           There has to be a way to get the weight off.   It’s not as easy though being on Warfarin. Normally I...

Nothing like a Nice Massage to Chill Me Out

May 26, 2014

Well that’s what I thought. I decided it might help me to relax if I went and got a nice massage.  My favourite is hot stone therapy but I thought I would just go for a basic massage this time. Wow, well that won’t be happening anytime soon. It seems Warfarin and...

The Art of Napping

May 18, 2014

The Art of Napping That’s it. I have decided that rather than just do research on Warfarin and write notes on bits of paper (that I am only going to lose then get frustrated because I can’t find them) I’m going to compile them into a book.  Other people must be in the...

Can someone explain why APS makes me feel the way it does?

February 11, 2014

I have been struggling to get an idea of what this blood disorder is about. No-one can tell me why I feel rough much of the time, why I get these panic attacks, I get breathless, exhausted and really painful acid reflux as the doc calls it. So I decided to make an...
