It’s been almost six years since a brush with death, my GP told me if I’d delayed seeing him for a further six hours I’d most likely have died. I’d contracted pneumonia and sepsis had set in, causing complete kidney failure amongst other complications. Yet I made an apparently full recovery with one lasting problem. Most nights, if I do get any sleep, it takes a long time to nod off. Like now, it’s almost 2:30 am and I just cannot get to sleep.
