Eddy Hamling & 3 Brain Surgeries, Epilepsy and Type 1 Diabetes

Hi! Welcome to That’s So Chronic! Today is a big one. When I was in Wellington I discovered that Eddy Hamling - who I had been working with in the same office for three weeks - had type type 1 diabetes, had had 3 brain surgeries (one where he died on the operating table and came back to life!) and has an epilepsy diagnosis …And that’s what we are going to chat about today!

In this episode we learn about that night when Eddy was skateboarding and suddenly his life changed, what goes into three brain surgeries when you have an extradural haematoma, what growing up with type 1 diabetes was like, and I learn a fun fact about déjà vu. 

I also say wooooah a lot, so brace yourself for that!

Eddy has such a beautiful way of explaining things and an awesome outlook on life. You can find him on instagram: @edward.hamling

And if you want to see more, make sure you head to our instagram @thatssochronic for a photo of Eddy’s head!

Don’t forget to rate and review this episode, and why not share it with someone you know! That helps TSC get into more ears around the world, to hopefully spread awareness, and more importantly… hope. (Also, follow/subscribe if you haven’t already! Pls and thanks!)
