When you change, people either change with you or they leave your life forever

I survived my survival!
Today I had to do something I really, really hate just so I can keep on working! Here's the video for it...
This time round it was only the one day refresher I had to do since I did the full 3 day course 4 years ago. It's amazing how quickly those 4 years come round again. Today was go number 2 at the refresher since I took a panic attack a couple of weeks ago while I was doing the rebreather (Emeergency Rebreather System to give it its full title) and didn't even make it as far as the simulator! That really wasn't helped by having a stinking cold so my lung capacity wasn't at it's best.
The divers were very patient with me today and got me through it (plus some betablockers...my pulse is way down at 60 at the moment - it usually sits about 78...way hey!). It wasn't pleasant but at least that's it done now so I'm safe for another 4 years. Just gives a better range of choices until I get on with the next stage of my life.
