I'm not sure where that quote comes from, but it is apt. My intention has been to blog as near to daily as was likely to be interesting, but last Thursday I went to my GP as I had been suffering from massive headaches for a week. One listen to my list of symptoms and she had me admitted for investigation for a possible subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Fortunately I was discharged yesterday, cleared of subarachnoid haemorrhage, but in the process I had a lumbar puncture which indicates that I'm suffering from an increased pressure in my spinal fluid which may be the cause of the headaches (and curiously, the draining of some of the fluid has brought about a significant improvement in my symptoms).
So, apart from scaring the hell out of my wife and friends, I reckon pretty much good news... my brain is not damaged, I'm not bleeding into my brain, and we have likely identified the cause of the headaches, which is treatable.
So why am I telling you all this? As the title suggest. We make plans with all the best intentions. We follow all the rules. And the universe has a knack of throwing a curve ball:-)
I guess the trick is to learn to expect the unexpected, and to look for the opportunities and advantages that it affords us when it happens.
