April 2024
It’s nearly two years since I last posted here…
Instead of the irregular ‘flare-ups’ I’ve had since I was a teenager, now my illness seems to control everything I do.
Because, whenever I begin any mildly energetic activity — within a few minutes, my body rebels, forcing me to stop, and rest.
Suddenly, I’m faced with the loss of so many things I’ve enjoyed throughout my life: woodworking, fixing my bike, DIY, cycle-touring, to name but a few.
But, I’m grateful for all these hobbies and distractions, and the many happy memories I still have. Gradually I’m coming to terms with being ill, and getting old.
Writing things down might help, whether I publish them here, or not.
