I write genre fiction & have a passion for anything that tells a story including books, movies, TV, music and art. I enjoy travelling with my HUSBAND & dogs.

Bright stars fall
As cold stone
I will hug the ground
& hold on
Even as the song dies
Its echo remains
There is meaning
In a silence
A whisper in the wind
To challenge my direction
Poison my belief
I will carry the fight
Past dying
To live and breathe
Another day #vss365 #poetry

For the latest therapeutic procedure, we’re looking at #lithotripsy …
Oh, I don’t like the sound of that…
Indeed, we use ultrasound and it’s far less invasive.

Good morning all, today we're discussing the Heimlich manoeuvre. It was first published in the Journal of Emergency Medicine on the 1st of June 1974. It's a technique used to help people who are choking to clear their airway. Have a great week, TTFN

🦋The Recluse..

Modest wishes
mediocre dreams
refurbishd #remnants..

Cocoon
elevated as
a museum of unclippd wings..

Life sentence
of
moulting errors..

Not all butterflies
breathe colours
or taste freedom..

Some wriggle into oblivion
to proofread
the typos of life..!

Hope was leading by five lengths coming out of the final turn, but Satan’s Pride made a charge down the front stretch to win the roses. Betting slips littered the stands as only #remanants of what might have been. #vss365

His son
My cousin Jim
Was a mighty fine chap
And wore his cap
With more elan
He had a Phd
In good character
Ran a shipyard and loved a pint. #vss365 #poetry #poems

@peterbforster My pleasure Peter, you're such a talented writer 😀

#VSSMED #lithotripsy
Good morning to all you wordy wonders. Today we're discussing a procedure that uses shock waves to break up kidney stones so they can be passed easily in the urine. I wish they could use this technique on Dalmatians, it would've saved my boy from surgery TTFN

'I'm sorry, Gabe. I wasn't sure if that was the #signal or not.'
'Yes, Pixie! The secret signal we agreed that meant play a prank so we can escape my brother's holiday photos. Not ask loudly, in front of everyone, if it's time to do something naughty!'
Giggle. 'My bad.'

Tears prick my eyes
it wasn't how i expected
evn as I knew
it had to end..

Conversations
split into ricochetng bits
#tinnitus~audible memory
a remnant refusing to end..

Some cherish nostalgia
or bury/burn/throw it away
I carry ur voices
integrated into screaming agony..

Hold your breath until we crawl clear of the old barn, and release it when we get out, it’s unlikely there is #Hantavirüs present but better to be careful #vssmed #WedsStory #WriteMap³

#VSSMED #antivenom
Good morning terrific tale tellers. There's some interesting research going on with antivenom in a gentleman who was injured over 200 times. To me, the word sounds like the name of the daughter of spiderman. Isn't it strange where the brain takes you? TTFN GB.

#VSSMED #Hantavirüs
Good morning, my apologies for not dropping a prompt last week. My Leonberger died suddenly & my mental health suffered, which is why I've chosen an obvious prompt for this week. Thanks for your patience or should that be patients. All the best GB.

[jfx mcloughlin @jfxmcl]

I’ve never heard of tinnitus affecting one’s vision, are you sure you have the right ailment? #vssmed #1linewed

The umbilical cord was too tangled for a natural delivery. #WriteMap #vssmed

[¡.Sara's🌠scribblings.!🇮🇳 @winged_silence]

~Exhale🥀exhume~

I drag myself around
empty load
flimsy #umbilical tether
like dandelion
fragile yet intact
few strands loose
& lost
but intact nevertheless..

Once in a while
I sigh
inwards
swallow urge
to let go
sever ties
flimsy #umbilical tether
fragile yet intact..!

#ringworm of chaos
expands its perimeter..

I scratch opinions
scale thru possibilities
flare up with central clarity..

Steroidal indifference
smeard too much
too often..

Chaos itchs

with self..

Deceptive

#VSSMED #tinnitus
Good morning super scribes. This morning we're talking about that buzzing, ringing irritation in your ear. I don't mean your other half. Some people can even hear voices or singing. If that happened to me you can guarantee they'd be singing out of tune. TTFN.

[jfx mcloughlin @jfxmcl]

The ringworm likely came from her digging in the garden; she knew better, but the word itself freaked her out, she skeeved bugs and worms! #WedsStory #vssmed #Vss365

Hi everyone, today is a day to celebrate someone specials birthday here. Yesterday was our late queens 100th birthday too. In their honour we're using umbilical, it ties us to each other. Happy birthday to all of you celebrating this week.
