Siblings

By -
I am the eldest of 3, I have a younger sister and a younger brother, my parents raised us to always remember that one day when they have both gone it is just us three.


Despite, tears and tantrums we will share a lifelong bond and we already have some fantastic memories of growing up that never fail to make us laugh, I have decided that no one will ever be as entertained by us as us.  It has been said that by the age of 11 you would of spent around a third of your time with your siblings.
The impact we have had on each others lives is enormous as young children, teenagers, early adulthood and now into our 30s, we have helped each other grow.  I believe we know each other better than anyone else does, we may have little disagreements but we have always been at the end of the phone for each other to date.

My sister is 2 years younger than me, born on my second birthday.  She has a 2 year old son and a long term partner.  My sister and I are very close and have become closer over the last few years.  We spend a lot of time together and message each other without fail every morning.  My sister is the middle child and behaved like the middle child when we were younger, she would be grounded and climb out the window, she would be getting piercings and tattoos while my dad worked away and she would equally get the wooden spoon just like me across the bum.
My sister is my forever friend, my best friend along with my wife, she is strong, loving, inspiring and never lets me give in, she is a voice of reason and if I could give her one thing in life, I would give her the ability to see herself through my eyes so she could see how special she is to me.

My brother is 4 years younger than me, born 4 days before my sister and I in February meaning if anyone cares that we are all Aquarians.  My brother is married and is a very selfless, gentle and caring man.  I longed to see him happy and settled and he finally is.  He loves running and runs for his local club with his wife (he met his wife at the club), my brother talks to me, discusses things with me, shares things with me.  My brother like my sister is my best friend, I believe there is no other love like the love from a brother.  The place he fills in my heart can not be filled or taken by anyone else, he is my brother due to blood but my best male friend through pure love.



Siblings therefore are a unique combination of best friends and complete pains in the neck but I love them both to the moon and back.....

    I cried and laughed all at the same time with this one... 😂
    Best friends we are and always will be. I do love the fact that every time we meet up we always have a laugh and always talk about the silly things we did.. like the bike rides along nans lanes to Pete Sims and the pigs and dogs chasing us😣 the boat we made in the garden and our best ever was our holiday to Greece!!
    I love you both as well millions and can't wait to share many more stories with you when we get old xx

My tunnelled line

By -

My central line was inserted on the 16th June at Kings, central lines can also be called a skin-tunnelled central venous catheter or Hickman or even a Groshong Line. The lines are long, hollow tubes made from silicone rubber. My neck was checked several times for a suitable vein using ultrasound technology, this areas was then cleaned thoroughly with antiseptic solution.  They used a local anaesthetic to numb the area and then made a small cut in my skin near my collarbone on my right side, this is the Insertion Site.  This site was secured by stitches. The tip of the line was then gently threaded into the large vein above my heart. The other end of the line was then tunnelled under the skin and an exit area was made in my chest and secured via stitches, I was then x-rayed to ensure the line was in the correct position.  The lines (I have 2) are sealed with a bung and the lines have been heplocked to avoid clotting and are clamped during non use. This exit are...

Feeling Regrounded

By -
This afternoon, while having my first session of plasma this week, I overheard a conversation concerning an EOL (end of life) plan, the curtains are not soundproof and actually they were not even drawn properly.   The conversation upset me grately as the patient was very concerned about not upsetting her sons, ensuring her sons would be financially ok, wanting to just die in her sleep so as not to upset them and the hope of having one last cuddle with her grandson.  On leaving the ward, the patient said to me 'see you later Kiddo', I will never forget how that made me feel and will always remember the smile on her face.  On the way to the car I felt very emotional.  My thoughts racing.   It’s so much easier in life to sit outside a situation than be in it.  I cannot begin to understand how it feels to be in a position like the lady this afternoon.  This made me start thinking about life.   How many people choose the safe ...

Life

I have not posted for a while, I was poorly and at rock bottom from October 2019 till just after Christmas and I became very withdrawn.   2020 -  I was poorly, turnt 41, had a mini break with my sister to Bath, had a lovely break in Yorkshire with my wife and our dogs.  I set out to read around 30 books and read close to 100. I spent a lot of time thinking.   In early 2020, I had a chat with an old work colleague, I still remember the times we would be silly and laugh like drains.  My old colleague is a beautiful person, an extremely talented NHS Professional and it's nice to talk about real life and the shit that's happening rather than just passing the time of day.  We both learnt things about each other and opened up a little.   I now have a beautiful little niece and I am looking forward to what 2021 brings, it's March 30th and the sun is shining and I am sat with India in the garden.  So, after spending a year in shielding and ...
