I remember this moment so clearly – it was the moment that I thought "this is IT" "This is the end of my life".

 

 I was sitting under a huge beautiful Oak tree in a friend's garden at a celebration.  Must have been about 60 people there. My two youngest children next two me- a 6-month old baby in a push chair and my then two-year old son.

 

In this moment- almost everything went black.  I couldn't see.

 

To be accurate…it was only half blacked out –the bottom half. I could see the foreheads of both my boys. I could see the top branches of the oak tree… but everything else was black.

I knew I was in trouble. And I tried to communicate this to the person sitting next to me. But I couldn't articulate couldn't get any words out.

 

This was almost 20 years ago.  And I remember it now as clearly as it was then.

I was taken urgently to the academic hospital, rushed in for a CT scan and what I remember from lying in the tunnel of the scanner was an image in my head of being buried. I was so sure this was the end.  

 

Thank Goodness there was no brain haemorrhage, no clot ,no brain tumor- the things I was suspecting. (Its very hard as a medical doctor not to imagine the worst). After weeks and weeks of hospital investigations and possible suggested diagnoses, the diagnosis was called 

a RIND – Reversible Ischaemic Neurological Deficit- a term that is actually no longer used. Reversible but nevertheless serious.

 

Within about 48 hrs I recovered from the visual and speech disturbance. But this was followed by 6  months of severe daily migraines and at least a year of intense fatigue (a very strange experience). It took many years to regain my real strength. I had been a marathon runner. I had five small children and a very busy medical practice …no doubt I had been under huge pressure. But didn't quite realise. A disconnect. It was a frightening frightening experience.

 

Undoubtedly I had experienced a type of shutdown, a 'burnout', The term Burnout is not quite a medical or scientific one. However, it does describe that experience of hitting the wall. 

 

Is there anyone here who has ever experienced something similar? Maybe to a lesser or greater degree?

 

The moment where you hit the wall, you fall off the edge… and you know that something has to change?

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris...

Those S and ES Endings by Mary Deal

These endings have always troubled me until I finally decided to get it right. Compare the versions and pick out the correct usages in this name ending with the letter s . The Joneses came for dinner. The Jones’s came for dinner. The Jones came for dinner. John Joneses car stalled. John Jones car stalled. John Jones’s car stalled. That Jones’s girl. That Joneses girl. That Jones girl. The correct sentences are: The Joneses came for dinner. John Jones’s car stalled. That Jones girl. Some tips: When a name ends with an s, and when speaking of the family as a group, add es , as in Joneses. When speaking about something John Jones owned, it is his property and, therefore, an apostrophe and s shows ownership, as in Jones’s . When speaking about a person in the singular, use only the name Jones. However, when speaking about a group of girls all named Jones, you would write that sentence: The Jones girls . Notice that the name stays...
