Thank you James. I feel like you're a familiar face now and it's good to hear you're re-building your life and still spreading hope and positivity.

Best wishes, Cat x

Thanks. As long as there are people prepared to listen i'll keep talking. Actually i'll probably still be wittering on about it long after everyone has stopped listening

So long as you continue to tell your story with such clarity and humour I doubt you'll be short of listeners James.

Your talks are so informative from so many different angles and the medical issues are covered with just the right amount of detail, but manage to leave the more graphic details to our imagination.

Long may your campaign for enlightenment continue !! xx

Thumbs up from me I think public speaking is great often wondered about it myself but no idea how or where to start!

Thought your talk pitched things just right. Congratulations

Thoroughly enjoyed this, as always with your posts.

Easy to grasp non flowery explanations, so informative and the touch of humour brings it all together. You are such a confident speaker : )

Keep talking,

Thanks for sharing,

James - look at how far you have come! Isn't the body amazing at healing so that you can stand up and teach? Although the NHS did a good job, you forgot to mention your urge to get better, your positive outlook and your inner strength and knowing you could recover. Glad you remarried and have started to create happy memories again :-)

All the Best.

Listened to some of it before then lost it.

I still struggle 8 years on but you have made me think more about

how far I have come.

Keep talking.

Thank you so much. K
