Blog

Hello

Writing my first ever blog with a tinge of discomfort. I’ve been told for years that having a blog is good for getting traffic to websites but this never felt enough of a compelling argument to spur me on to attempt it in the past. I am finally endeavouring to overcome my self consciousness, that nagging voice that says “what have you got to say and who’s going to be interested” Given all the horrors in the world right now, the appalling atrocities being committed, environmental collapse, fear of AI taking over…. I could go on (and on).. The presumption of someone wittering on, navel gazing (there’s that voice again) about her recovery from an illness that some people deny is even real and very few understand, including most of the medical establishment. For heaven’s sake, it’s not cancer is it? But what long covid and other related illnesses are is life debilitating and even life destroying. For me and for a great many, our lives stopped entirely and reduced down to simply lying in bed.
