Bio

Full time employee, dad and husband, part-time sports and guitar enthusiast. A Dub by birth, and 26 years a blow-in in Waterford. Got Covid-19 in March, and gave everyone a bit of a fright, (including himself)! Got better and is a little the wiser for it! (Hopefully)

Resilience - points of discussion

  • Sure it’s just a bit of flu, isn’t it? - Before getting the virus.
  • Eh, no it isn’t – The trauma of having the virus
  • Feeling blessed – Family and Friends to the rescue
  • Feeling tired…so, so, tired – Early recovery
  • Feeling stronger – a tiny bit each day
  • Looking back – Was that real? How did we get through that?
