Well, I am a little better today and, although I have been reading in bed most of the time, I did venture downstairs for a couple of hours. Yesterday, on the other hand, was very difficult. Lovely Husband and I are under a lot of strain these days with disabilities, illness, worries and stress piling on our shoulders. Sometimes, we are unable to contain the pressure and our house becomes a difficult place to be. Add in issues with autism and we have a situation that is volatile. Yesterday was horrible.

I am hoping that the rest of the day will be calm and peaceful and that this will continue for the whole week.

I can hope!

It is now a week since my appointment with my main consultant and I am feeling very disappointed. If you remember, he warned me very strongly that I need to begin to exercise to prevent muscle wastage, help improve my heart rate and breathing, and postpone possible wheelchair use as long as possible. I declared that I would try to exercise and would begin walking and using my special chair straight away.

Well, none of this has happened as I have been unable to even get started. I have felt so ill and have been forced to stay in bed most days. This is so depressing and I am really disappointed and low. I know that this situation is not my fault, but it is hard to see a positive side. All I can do is hope that I begin to feel strong enough to begin some exercise soon.

Tomorrow is Reading Roundup day and I will enjoy writing the post about my latest books.

Best wishes,

💛💚❤️💙💜🧡
