During the period when I found I had CHD, underwent surgery and successfully recovered, I actively kept a blog record of what was going on – from my perspective. It was an interesting, and perhaps the first, piece of reflective thinking I’d ever done. It helped me through the shock, denial and acceptance stages of what I encountered.
The record is to be found on The #hospitweet Blog so named because a colleague encouraged me to use twitter to describe my experiences too – #hospitweet being the hashtag I used.
