HI everyone, this episode is a Solo one just with me, Mark, talking about how I believe taking up a creative hobby in your recovery from ICU can help you cope better and might even help you recover mentally quicker. I have blogged, wrote poems and created this podcast as steps of my recovery and I talk a bit about my journey of why I did these things, why blogging was not for me and why poetry is still something I use in my day to day life. I also talk a bit about ICU delirium as well as how I use my poetry to cope with issues I had post ICU and still have nearly 5 years down the line.

I hope this episode might give you some ideas on the tools you could use to help you cope better during your recovery and manage the bumps in your road to recovery. I hope you enjoy it and you can leave a voice message here: https://anchor.fm/icu-life-and-recovery/message or tweet or DM me at @ICU_Life or email me at ICU.Life.And.Recovery@gmail.com
