I honestly can’t really believe its 10 years since my brush with death.
Its been a long time and something I will never ever forget, 10 years ago after the general election of 2010. Will never forget how different the world was after I woke up in hospital and someone (pretty sure it was my sister) told me the liberal democrats have gone into collation with the conservatives.
5 years ago I did a catch up of what happened 10 years ago.
- 5 years ago, I was discharged from hospital
- 5 years ago, The best Hello world message
- 5 years ago… my BBC colleagues wrote
- 5 years ago, while I was lying in a bed
Even closer to the time, I wrote a reflective blog with thank you posts (part 1) (part 2)
I still have the cards and plan to put them up again, so look out for them if you happen to be on a zoom with me.
As we are still in lockdown due to Covid-19, there won’t be a party. To be fair last years 3 birthday celebration was pretty epic. But I do have plans for a zoom call or something later in the month. Look out for the invite…
Today I reminded that its 10 years since the end of Lost.
I was a fan and watched every single episode trying to work out the theory 0f what was gong on. But I don’t know if I ever shared how I watched the last 2 episodes of Lost.
Having been in hospital 10 years ago during #mybrushwithdeath, I had moved from Salford hope ICU to a standard stroke ward. In the standard stroke ward I could use my laptop again and my ex brought in my laptop with the last 2 or maybe 3 episodes on it.
My memory of Lost was lying in bed trying to get comfortable watching Lost from 11pm – 2am with headphones. I was blown away by what I was seeing and hearing. It was unreal and to be fair I never could watch it again as I would ruin what I experienced the first time around. I loved it and seeing it a few weeks after experiencing a life and death situation of my own was just too much for me. I did finish it but the emotion hit me hard.
For me the end of lost was a momentous moment which I won’t forget. (Well thats a lie, 10 years later I forgot…).
Don’t worry in July I watched Inception for the first time and lost was pretty much forgotten by then.
