Left-handedness is good for the World and for me.
I have had various instructions regarding this period before I have to go back into hospital. If I had a pound for every time I have been told to be careful then I would be able to sort the credit…
A Doctor Calls
A phone call from the neurologist in charge of my case coloured the mood of the day. She was as good as her word on Friday when she said that she was going to treat me as her number one…
Money, Money, Money
