Fingers Crossed

After an 8-year journey, tomorrow morning I'll be sitting down for a chat with Dr Haydon-Smith for what I'm hoping will be the last hoop in regaining my Class 1. Typical story: ULH, commuting commitment, working for a company able to fire 49 pilots to keep others in line, honed sense of duty, little time for self, blah blah.

Over the last few years, I adopted the mantra, "It is what it is," a sort of "What's for you won't go past you." Life changes involved losing 35lbs and changing my diet (look up 'leaky gut'.) More relaxed, pragmatic view of life. I smile as I put £27.63 worth of fuel in the car rather than wee squirts to make a round £30.

No, I'm not a doctor and can only offer personal experience but to those of you under the weather, so to speak, there were days that I thought that there would be no improvement.

Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

All the best,

BB
