I’ve had a few days now to let the events of last weekend sink so thought I’d write some it down while it’s all still fresh. I’m going to make this a two parter though with this part being a write up of the day with a second part with some specifics on what I
My Scary Hospital Visit
As the title should make obvious I had something happen at the weekend that was a touch on the worrying side. In terms of trying to get my head around it I thought I’d write it down (blogging as therapy eh?) While everyone was enjoying the England v Croatia game on Sunday this was me.
