On the First of the month my Grandad suffered a massive stroke, his third in fact - although the others had been significantly smaller. The first was the size of a pea and the second the size of a small computer chip. However, this third and unfortunately final stoke was the size of a large pear,and twelve days later he peacefully passed away. Which for him was probably the best outcome. Now if I return to the first of December, the first switch I turned on alone having heard the news, the fuse blew and it suddently occurred to me that we’re not all that different from these simple structures we take for granted, yet rely on daily. We expect our bodies to turn on, or as we see it, to wake up and remain functional until we turn them off or fall asleep. The exact same thing we expect from a light switch. However this is not always the case. Just like a socket or switch fuses can blow and our functionality can diminish, and in some cases disappear altogether. So why do we take it for granted?
