This weeks guest is now a person I can call a good friend, Dave castle. Dave is a person I met on my ward during my stay in hospital earlier this year after more intense hip surgery. I was very low at the time as this surgery was sprung across me very quickly. Dave, myself and our other mate also on our ward Sonny made life inside the hospital a lot more uplifting. Everyone in a hospital is going through a rough time in one way or another but the banta we had helped push us though. We ended up being called the ROH boys (royal orthopaedic hospital).

Dave has had his fair share of hospital stays to say the least and in this episode I wanted us to openly chat about how a different outlook can change your stay in hospital whether short or long. It doesn't always have to be scary, overwhelming and sad. Sometimes the only way is to find the small positives. Dave has has many experience of illness, transplants, trauma injury and many more I couldn't have asked for a better person to talk the subject with. Sadly Sonny couldn't make it on but I'm sure he will be laughing. So have a listen to learn something abit different.

This weeks guest you may have guest is Henry's mum. The amount of challenges she has taken on is absolutely insane. From completing things such as 2 iron mans to her most latest adventure the marathon de sabe (5 marathons in 5 days across the sahara) I think its fair to say Emma's done more than most.

Emma is a qualified PT and Pilates instructor. with decades of experience teaching people of all ages in physical education. With many years as a professional hunt jockey. Henry sits down to find out what has shaped the way she educates people and how to never give up on your physical goals. Henry also chats about her experience of being part of the support network during his recovery and she has found it. aswell as lots of laughs.
