Hi there everybody that is kind enough to visit my personal site and its varied ramblings.
My apologies for not posting for the last few months, but I have been recovering from a stroke.
Luckily I am seemingly undamaged, but it knocks the “you know what” out of one and it takes time to get back to normal.
My intention in writing this short post is not for your sympathy – although of course I appreciate it if you happen to feel that way, but as a warning to all of you who sit at computers for hours at a time like we do.
Seems long hours over the last year seated at my computer while Susan and I created our new training course on how to start a business and make money online has been the problem.
(We have not launched as yet, but you are very welcome to get our free training if you wish.)
Despite being very aware of getting up often because of the threat of deep vein thrombosis, now well known as a problem on long flights, you know how it is – we get caught up and when you look again hours have flown by.
Well, that is what happened for a few nights in a row for about 5 hours each time and the result was waking up with a deep pain in my calf which turned out to be a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) and shortly after that collapsing with a TIA (transient ischemic attack) or in normal language, a mini stroke.
This was sudden and let me assure you no fun.
Please guys, ensure that you have a break at least every half hour for at least ten minutes and move around to get the blood circulating properly.
While you are at it you may as well also look after your eyes as well, so be sure to look at objects at different distances, otherwise you will soon find your vision is not what it was.
Anyway that is my story for the day and my warning to you to keep healthy, so please check out the videos below.
Cheers for now,
Martin
