Ahoy hoy, how are we all? I hope you are well and warm. This blog post is about 2025 Q1 in review.
My eczema
My eczema has finally settled down, Yay! I still haven’t taken a bath. Even though, me, my mum and sister went to one of our local vegan festivals and I had soy,, chillis, garlic and ginger twice. The first meal also had aubergines which is something that I havn’t touched in a while.
My #rockulele videos
Last month was my musical theme, where I played songs from films with famous songs. This month is songs that are 10 years old, in honour of my crash anniversary. Next month is going to be, in respect of the Sliver Linings Music group, are going to be songs from the summer playlist.
I was recently reminded by an old school friend that back in primary school, I had created another song. In year 5, Miss Ingrum had asked her class to write a song on the 8 times table. Of course, I was the only one who did the homework. I had pretty much ripped off the “Question of Sport” theme song and used that instead. I’ve lost count, how many times I sang that song. Because of this, when I eventually get to my YouTube channel, that will be the first song.
Me working and my empire
FreeCodeCamp has recently updated its curriculum. So, I’ve had to start from scratch.
I’ve finally launched part of my empire. As part of my business, I created a clothing line. Since my illness, I’ve been looking for hats, hoodies and t-shirts that say, “I’m a brain tumour survivor/brain injury fighter” and look cool at the same. And that’s why I created Brainwell Boutique.

My weight
My weight is now at 73.70kg, my muscle mass is at 57kg, and my body fat is 17.3%. I know that it’s heading in the wrong direction, but slightly.
My health
After taking Prednisolone for 3 months now, I get a decent night’s sleep. About 5 hours. Unfortunately, for some reason, I still feel tired, especially in the mornings. This is why my muscle mass has gone down, because I’m not doing my daily exercises as often as I should.
My dads health
Sadly, my dad’s health has dropped dramatically. About a month ago, he was throwing up, and I had told him that he should see the doctor. He didn’t do anything. Then he spoke to my sister, and she said the same thing, and he agreed with her. He went to our GP and they said to go to A&E now. He went down and they found a meter-long lump in his intestine. He’s had it removed, but it does mean that he can’t drive or work for the next 6 to 8 weeks. Because of this, I haven’t been to my hyperbaric oxygen chamber or my Bhranga class.
That’s it for now. Once again, I want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, my Naughty Mamaji and my Masi, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story, and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.
Next time, I’m going to talk about my 2025–Q3 in review.
