Where did all that time go?

 Good grief I turn round and it's been 5 months since I put an update on here. I'm sorry about that

I guess first things first - that problem with my stomach and the 'c' word being bandied around really scared me knocked for 6 - it's all okay nothing horrible to report but still it was a shock to they system and a 'reset' in many ways of life.

Stress and anxiety were ultimately the main cause of the problems and a bit of a reshuffle of life has happened as a result. Some things which were not positive have been stopped and I'm concentrating on things that are good for me instead. 

So what happened in that time - I'll list out some highlights 

  • Christmas - another one in the bag, Wales then Halifax this year most enjoyable and lovely to catch up with the family
  • My Motability car finally turned up - yup the unicorn is real and I absolutely love it
  • We had an awful health crisis with Winston where we thought we might lose him which was terrifying but thankfully all resolved now.
  • I reached level 51 in the game of life ........ gulp
  • Gareths mum has had a fall and needed new bits for her hip installed so she's now part machine
  • Kathy and Sue did a world tour of Europe by train which was made far more exciting by France being on strike meaning they went to a number of countries they hadn't planned on visiting before finally arriving in Rome in time to watch the Welsh Rugby team make up a little for their really poor performance in this years 6 Nations.
In terms of Gareth and my dedication to hunting down lovely food experiences we can highly recommend Aktar at Home if you're after a fabulous tasty sharing experience we got the 'mini' box for £45 4 curries, bread and rice - we've eaten it for 2 days now and barely made the half way point.

The sun is shining down here in Berkshire, it has that 'spring is here' vibe and it makes me feel very positive.

Next round of Ocrevus is due in May so I'll be doing the blood test round trips soon and phone consults with the team to get it all sorted.

Here's looking forward to what I really hope is a sunny relaxing '23 and possibly nice overseas holiday for Gareth and I

So MS is the thing I'm least concerned about now

Not something I thought I would be saying and also if I['m going to be brutally honest with myself it's probably at least half of th...
