Let the Games Begin

Let the Games Begin

If you’ve been reading my recent blog’s and social media posts, you will have seen that I have tried to up my general activity to avoid what can be a very sedentary lifestyle – see my blog on Urban Tales of the Desk Jockey.

Did you know that the typical working adult spends more time sitting down than the average pensioner !

Trying to stay one step ahead

Trying to stay one step ahead

I have been a little tardy with my blog updates. Last week didn’t happen at all and this one is towards the end of the week rather than as I planned it to be at the beginning. As with many of us, life gets in the way of good intentions, but all one can do is to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again (are you singing along with me).

So here I am with my third blog in the series – better late than never!

There is a history of thrombosis in my family

There is a history of thrombosis in my family

There is a history of thrombosis in my family – my father survived a PE and my brother has recently had a DVT following a knee operation (no thromboprophylaxis!), but when I first became aware of Thrombosis UK, my knowledge of blood clots (thrombosis) was still quite poor.

"Uh-oh. Sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays.” – Urban Tales of the Desk Jockey

Like many people, I have a desk based job. Thankfully I enjoy what I do, but that actually might be to my detriment.

So, a few days into the challenge and I’ve signed me and Hannah up to do a virtual walk (along with Jo, Josh and Annya) from Lands End to John O’Groats. The team have a Just Giving page so feel free to donate https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/stepuptostopclotstukteam.

My Worst Nightmare of a Challenge

My Worst Nightmare of a Challenge

I love my job! I can work from home and can rest when I need to. I can fit my work life into family life and manage my health condition while still feeling like I am giving something back. So, when Jo our CEO announced our new fundraising push of a step challenge I panicked!

Once more unto the breach

Once more unto the breach

OK, the moment of no return has arrived! I am now officially starting the Step Up To Stop Clots challenge. I have my plan in place and hopefully things will fall in to place as I wish them to.

Step Up To Stop Clots: An Unexpected journey

Step Up To Stop Clots: An Unexpected journey

I have been proud to work with Thrombosis UK for a number of years and when they invited me to be part of the #StepUpToStopClots initiative, I jumped at the chance. Almost literally.

Some days are better than others

Some days are better than others

Well, here I am. 59 years old in a few days’ time (the same age as my Mum when she suddenly died from a massive bilateral saddle pulmonary embolism), 42 years post first DVT and 36 years post my own massive bilateral pulmonary emboli which nearly put paid to me too.
