Sarah Ezekiel: January 2014
http://sarahezekiel.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 24 January 2014. The Park that Died in 2010. Sturgess Park, NW4 (Photo taken with Tobii I-12 eyegaze computer). This is my local park. When my children were young there were swings, instead of an empty frame. There was a roundabout, but that has gone. The park was full of children, laughing and squealing with delight. It's usually empty now. My daughter is doing A levels and doesn't know if she can face university and the mountain of debt that will come with it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sarah Ezekiel: February 2014
http://sarahezekiel.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 25 February 2014. Prescription Drugs - Just Say No? I never took drugs before my diagnosis of motor neurone disease, not prescription ones anyway. Doctors don't really want to prescribe from my experience. 'Have paracetamol' is the usual response for everything. I wasn't depressed. My weight was critically low and it was a choice between a feeding tube or the antidepressant, Mirtazapine, which makes you munch. I knew that I had to do something and chose Mirtazapine.

Sarah Ezekiel: Life Without a Voice
http://sarahezekiel.blogspot.com/2014/02/life-without-voice.html
Saturday, 15 February 2014. Life Without a Voice. I'm not saying all of the above to blow my own trumpet or to boast. I'm saying it because, every now and then, a situation occurs that makes me feel like the woman in the photo. Yesterday was one such occasion. They sent an appointee form but I threw it away, hoping that when I have to phone them again I'll get a more compassionate person. 15 February 2014 at 09:01. So no I am not able to do this. 15 February 2014 at 12:00. 16 February 2014 at 07:38.

Sarah Ezekiel: September 2012
http://sarahezekiel.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 3 September 2012. My Life of Brian - E17 Art Trail Exhibition, 1st September 2012. When I was asked to exhibit as part of the E17 Art Trail. I immediately said yes. I usually say yes to pretty much anything that will raise awareness of motor neurone disease. I started to frame up my prints thinking this will be a doddle. Luckily, I met two of the Art Trail organisers by chance and I think they could see that I needed help and support. They introduced me to artist, Toby Poolman. But here we are, s...
