26th May

 Think I might post here less frequently now. Seem to have got into a fairly predictable pattern healthwise. Tingles are oh so slowly fading. I am learning not to push it - in fact I'm taking a week off next week. Almost unprecedented. Weakness comes and goes. Repeated headaches have been a feature of late that can morph into tingles. Uh huh. Been talking to a couple of people about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Their experiences with it ring horribly true for me. It gives me some reassurance however to know a bit more. I still find it hard to accept the wishy washy diagnosis. But. Eh.

Ares turned out to be none the worse for wear for eating the plushie. Not sure if he did eat it in the end, although it was in the garden and slimy. So. Who knows. General condition. Poor lad is struggling a tad. He's still ok and can be quite perky and very interested in dinner. But his back legs are going more regularly. He ends up halfway doing the splits. He half fell down the stairs a day or so ago. I read up on it. Can be caused by pressure on the nerve in his back. Which is almost certainly whats going on given his X ray from a few years ago that showed some fusing and growth going on. His skin condition is eh, not great. But seems to have levelled out a bit.

As in all things, take it one day at a time. Enjoy what time you have. Ho hum.

But, eh, feeling a bit more positive, despite all the issues. A bit less tired this week.

It's not easy.

But getting there.

Long may it continue.
