Ping, ping, pppping! There’s an annoying pinging feeling radiating from my little finger. It’s been happening for months now. It started as a slight jarring, like a gentle but noticeable creaking, as though my finger just wanted to say hello. That doesn’t sound so bad, right? It’s just a little niggle, surely? Yes, that’s howContinue reading “Little Finger.”

New Year Update
Well, I’m back from outer space! Sort of. I am showered, dressed, made up and out of the house and not in a muddy field with dogs. I am trying! Christmas was, in the end a PJ affair, that was as relaxing as it was depressing. My pain feels through the roof and has madeContinue reading “New Year Update”
Seasonal Update
Its a few days before Xmas and I have been unable to work on this for weeks; luckily I had some saved, was so proud of myself for getting organised and then just like that I am not. I succumbed to ‘flu’ and that took me out but since then its the family responsibility ofContinue reading “Seasonal Update”
Dance away.
Well, it’s been two days since I was up and around, mostly I have slept in-between, and now I realise why; my last writing mentions the marshmallow feeling and I know with this symptom, I need good rest, and yet did I heed my own advice? neh, of course not, I continued with my plannedContinue reading “Dance away.”
Send In The Tanks.
Just thinking of this title makes me cross, I am remembering an appointment I had nearly 20 years ago, with a consultant at the hospital. This will be more of a rant than a waffle! I walked to the hospital 2-3 miles, I had no money for a bus or taxi back then and walkedContinue reading “Send In The Tanks.”
Vicious Viral’s.
Well, here we go, time to talk about the viral symptoms, these are the nasty things it’s difficult to describe and explain, no it’s not just a cold! I can write this easily just now as I can feel my glands up and throat beginning to close, my sinuses have that astringent slightly swimmer feel,Continue reading “Vicious Viral’s.”
One eye.
Well, more waffling on eyes…. I sit currently with one eye in, I lost my left contact early today, as I stepped out of the shower, I really thought I had nudged it back in, but later when I stuck my finger in my eyeball, I knew it had gone, no sign of it anywhere,Continue reading “One eye.”
Let the light in.
I had an epiphany this morning, like a sudden shaft of light, literally streaming into the room. I was woken by a door knock, turned out to be to read the meters, they still need to be checked alongside smart meters, apparently, my alarm had not yet gone off and I wasn’t feeling it, soContinue reading “Let the light in.”
Who are you?
Yes, the question at the centre of it all, who am I? Take away all the roles we serve and what is left? ‘It’s what we do that defines us’ aah the famous quote, well I am not Batman, but can I still be defined? So, when illness compacted my life, severed me from allContinue reading “Who are you?”
Marshmallow.
Who doesn’t like marshmallow? Right? Sweet sticky kind of fluffy stuff. Well imagine that a huge chunk of this is stuck to your feet, not the easily dissolving stuff either. Every step is a bouncy, springy motion, the bounce goes up to your knees and you feel the wobble throughout your whole body. You knowContinue reading “Marshmallow.”
