It's been really good to get back to working again.
I'm loving what I'm doing, it's both interesting and challenging and I've had an opportunity to experience travelling by air a couple of times going to Spain on my own with my wheelchair.
Heathrow T5 is a dream accessibility wise, it works like a Swiss clock and it's a pleasure to deal with. The Spanish airport is less so ...... things to note, you spend a lot of time being 'transferred' from one bit of the basement area to another while they move you to the correct terminal and take my boarding pass away from me during this process which is 'unnerving'. There's nowhere down there to get water or food and bathrooms are not easy to get to.
In terms of 'life the world and everything' ..... well apart from work and life stuff I'm pretty much the dame dull person that I always have been.
I start the injectable version of my Crohn's treatment on Wednesday, the 3 infusion that I've had have been life changing in terms of how Crohns affects my body it's like turning the physical clock back about a decade. In terms of how my head is with this - well that's improving but still a bit hit and miss - you can't undo a decade of anxiety and fear about your own body failing you in a few short months but it is getting better each day.
It's coming up to 'that' time of year again when all the anniversaries of loss collide at the same time. I'm hoping this year with work and travel that it's going to be less 'heavy' on me.
We haven't planned any holiday time yet this year to take the doggo's on holiday - must get on with that.
MS Wise - nothing has changed, I'm still working on balance and walking - it's a work in progress with no further worsening of problems. I've even been up making meals again on occasion. No falls since my last update - not elegant but also not on the floor on my arse so that's all good. Getting thrown from my wheelchair in Spain after a dropped kerb with dirty great hole in front of it isn't something that I would include in that scenario and the 6 lovely people who rushed over to help and the 'Spang-lish' conversation and thank yous were lovely even if the bruises were not.
Oh and last but not least our garden furniture has had a bit of an 'upgrade / pimping' ..... 2 years out in the elements had made them look grey and old so they're now colourful and pretty.
To infinity and beyond ladies and gents 😎
