The past week as probably been the most gruelling, frightening and traumatic week of my life thus far.

Last Saturday evening, approaching the early hours of the morning, I received a call from my father who had collapsed and was struggling to breathe. Fortunately for me I managed to get to him while he was still conscious and the paramedics arrived just a couple of minutes after.
