3 Months of Silence

Wow, three whole months of silence! Sorry people but I have been somewhat distracted from my writing duties recently due to a number of things. Doesn't it just seem sometimes that whenever you think you're getting somewhere you get sent back to the start?

We have still being doing odd jobs around the Motorhome, well when I say we I mean Ryan's been working hard and I've managed mostly cleaning and sawing the occasional piece of wood for shelves etc!

I've recently discovered that I have a form of Arthritis, I often joke that I feel like an old woman sometimes despite being only 26 but this is just silly! My back will often ache which it's done for years and I can happily live with that (apart from the odd spasm that had me bedridden for a day over the past couple of years), but my knees and ankle joints have been the worst of late. I'd been getting up for work and feeling like I was walking with broken bones for a hour or so until I got moving enough for the pain to ease off! Then to top it off a few weeks ago I developed painful swellings and hideous bruising around my joints and feet that the Doctor reckons is actually Cellulitis (which the blood test seems to confirm) so I've been taking a mixture of Antibiotics and Ibuprofen daily to get over that.

Needless to say I've been feeling very sorry for myself of late and have not felt like socialising or writing anything either, but lets face it there's always someone out there worse off so I need to just suck it up and try to move forward - again.

So I pledge now to write about the things that we have been doing during the silence, and get myself up and out and about. Thanks for your patience and support, and see you soon... :)

  1. Hi Sarah, good to hear from you but sad to hear about those problems.
    You have my sympathy for that, as I know very well how restricting joint problems can be.
    Despite being only 37, I have my share of Gout (another form of arthritis) in both feet, from toe to ankle... Just to wait where the next attack will be.
    Hope your antibiotics and ibuprofen will help.

    Groeten, Martijn
