Bet you didnt think that you would hear from me again???
Well, maybe some of you knew that I wouldnt be able to keep away for ever….
This isnt a return….Not yet anyway.
I just wanted to say that there have been some developments along with a potential olive branch being offered. It may amount to nothing and I may well stay away from the blog, but I have a very very very very very important meeting next Thursday which may turn the tide for me and my ability to blog.
I just wanted you to know that I am still trying to make this thing work but one thing is for sure. IF it does work out and I come back, there wont be the usually 7-8 posts per week. During the last 6 weeks, I have realised just how much time was going into the blog, to the detriment of my family, and I wont be letting that happen again. Maybe 2-3 per week will be better??
Anyway, its good to say hi again, please keep your fingers crossed for me next Thursday. Its going to be a pivotal presentation I am giving and I sincerely hope it provides me a way back.
After all, I really miss you all.

I predict great success. Keep us posted. BTW, I wish I named my blog “Fire-once-or-twice-a-week rather than Fire Daily…..

Yup, daily posting, day in,day out must be tough! You made me laugh though!

Good luck for next Thursday!!!

Question for all: “Who among us thought that one of the GREATEST EMS BLOGGERS OF ALL TIME, a guy who literally has paramedicine in his blood, who has a gift and an obvious passion for sharing that gift could stay away from blogging?”
Cuz I sure didn’t. I had faith. I still have faith. You Sir, are a gifted writer and a gifted medic. There’s not many things that will be keeping you down for long.
I’ll be sending all of the positive vibes I can muster from across the pond on Thursday. (I’ll start on Wednesday so I can cover the time difference)

Thanks Chris! You have no idea (well actually, as a fellow blogger, im sure you do) how hard it is to just sit back and read blogs each day without being part of the blogosphere anymore. Your positive karma will be greatly accepted!

2-3 a week sounds lovely! Well, anything sounds lovely, really! Hope all goes on Thursday – I’m not much into the “positive thoughts” thing, but I could do some good old-fashioned praying 😀
It’s good to see new posts on this blog!

2-3 per week is still better than my 1-2 a month as of late….
Hope you are doing well, chap!

Damn, and there I had deleted you from google reader and everything. Just shows I should’ve had more faith in you. Best of luck for Thursday, I’ll be sending good vibes.

Late as usual – not because I didn’t want to but because Internet Explorer was playing silly thingys! Would love to see you back and am keeping finger and toes crossed it’ll be OK. One Dr blog in the USA posts about once a week and says when the next post is likely to be – sometimes he misses the appt but not often. Gives you a bigger space to anonymise etc – you can prepare posts in advance when you have nothing better to do. Maybe a thought?
BTW – new paramedic now present in YAS, mainly thanks to you! Just waiting for the 2-year date deadline to register,
all the best
