Recently I wrote about the mist within my brain, now I want to tell you about the fog. The fog is different to the mist, it appears instead as an almost solid wall, blanketing the brain and suffocating all ability. When I think of the fog, I am reminded of the old horror film ofContinue reading “The Fog.”

Hiatus.

How do I know all this I hear you ask, well let me tell you. I endured a gastric endoscopy. It was a horrible day, my appointmentContinue reading “Hiatus.”
The Mist Rolling In.
Mist is a strange thing, essentially it is water droplets hanging in the air, causing poor visibility. Think of a time you have looked out to see a bank of mist, it seems to gather in blocks, with fingers, tendrils reaching forward and growing, it creeps over the landscape with a silent warning. This isContinue reading “The Mist Rolling In.”
To The Bone.
Today I am thinking about bones, its not something I think about until I encounter a bone problem, but actually bone pain is a continual symptom of this lurgy. When I think of bone, I picture an animal bone, being gnawed on by the dogs. They are hard and dead, solid seemingly but full ofContinue reading “To The Bone.”
Hi, Pollen.
I am back to thinking about allergies to pollen. It is the time of year for it after all. I react very badly to pollen generally from early in the year when plants start springing up all the way through the summer season. People around me seem oblivious to it all, only they are not,Continue reading “Hi, Pollen.”

For some reason I can not say the word, meteorological, trying to is quite funny. We are in the nearly, not quite, zone, the sun shinesContinue reading “Spring is Springing!”
Knuckle Down.
Literally my knuckle has taken over my world. Five weeks ago now, while sitting in bed, I shuffled myself over, pushing my fist down into the mattress, when pain shot through me, Oowww! What was that? I thought, ooowww, the pain continued from sharp attack to constant throb. What had I done? Come on seriously,Continue reading “Knuckle Down.”
She’s Electric.
I lie in bed seeking sleep, yet my body will not give in. Electricity surges through me, I am alive, I want to shout, like a creation of Frankenstein. Okay, okay, I am already alive, you can stop zapping me now. My muscles and joints pop, an internal body popping motion that travels throughout me.Continue reading “She’s Electric.”
