On the night of 5th of March 2023, my personal health life once again changed. Overnight my body decided to give me another surprise, it gave me a stroke. I haven’t even finished my “Bionic Body” book but the gods decided to throw my brain into the mix! Now had yet again, a massive challenge and hurdle to overcome. Talk about rise to the challenge, someone out there surely it testing me to the limit!
It was a normal Saturday, I had been out with my mates. As always, after a few beers too many, I went home and grabbed something to eat from the fridge. I now recall there was a pie in the fridge. I remember seeing the plates in the sink in the morning. That’s as far as my memory would tax me at the time. I went to bed in a decent mood, it had been great fun.
I woke up I remember thinking “Am I still pissed?” I remembering thinking, ‘I can’t be!’. I went back to bed just in case. This time when I woke up I started to think that my arms were weird. I looked at them and thought “why have I got three arms”? I kept looking om the bed and couldn’t make it out!
I remember boss, Wayne, then was calling me and I remember him saying your piss “I’ll speak to you later”! I had no idea what was he talking out. It turned out that it was me was the one who had no idea what I was saying!
My recollection of this morning in March now I have to say is very sketchy to say the least. I knew it wasn’t good that’s for sure.
My Dad came into the bedroom while I was in a haze. (We have family house keys.) He asked why I wasn’t up and ready. My dad said “come on, we are going to be late, Mum will be wondering where we are”. I said “Dad, I have no idea what you are talking about”. Dad was as confused as I was. He had to try and explain that we were going to the hospital in Cambridge. We had been visiting Mum there. They had both been in a car crash around 6 weeks before and were lucky to survive. I’m really not sure what happened after that. I believe maybe Dad rang my brother. I know that soon after, my mate Danny Rumens turned up at the house. Danny phoned for an ambulance, he knew straight away what had happened.
Dave Note 1
I have decided to publish things as I go along, finished, unfinished indifferent, whatever. I spend too much time thinking I will go back to things and nothing gets done. So, this is one of these articles. I hope, as I health (brain) gets better to add and finished my rambles as and when. Thanks for your patience!
The note above was written on the 2nd May 2024. I felt well enough to try and start writing again and edited this on 31st Oct 2024. Sadly, the original notes are overwritten. Trust me, the 6 months has made a massive difference. Thanks for all the support on my journey. Now I am only just getting started, there is plenty more to come!
