Life

So Saddened to read on Sleepless Nights that Veronica's nan has passed away. My 'nana' was the best thing in my life, if I close my eyes even now I remember her smell. I hope Veronica's nan meets mine I think they would get on.

I haven't blogged much of late, partly due to a bad bout of torticollis something that my father, daughter and myself have from time to time. It is really painful and I think this bout was brought on from visit to eye consultant who tries hard to understand that putting my chin and face/forehead in contraption so that he can look in my eye causes me an ehlers danlos problem. I co-operate each time but this time the very next day woke with my head stuck on my shoulder and unable to look to the left. I have been a very very grumpy madam this week and wonder why family around me puts up with me frankly.

I also got it into my head that I wanted to go to Greece, so popped on line and even with last minute bargains (apparently) realised that we are skint and cannot afford it. now I know that many people in the world have a far shittier time than me but I have been wallowing in self pity on this one. If i could stamp my feet I would have been since the weekend. It will abate this feeling that I want to get away from the mundane things in life and I will smile again and be my normal cheery self but for the minute I am indulging in sulking.

what else, if anyone out there has post herpatic neuralgia of the trimegal (sp) nerve do let me know any tips to deal with the agony of it. The episode has abated somewhat so I can at least mention it but I do think its unfair that I have this as well as EDS bla bla......

Katie Price if you are reading this (so not) calm down - go home - have a think and leave Jordan in Ibetha!! Some days I wish I had an alter ego - she would be dancing (not Jordan stylie!!!) - mobile - pain free - funny - witty - well educated - working - and well off.

Instead I am a mother with ehlers danlos, ostopenia, osteoarthritis, etc. of teenagers who are incredibly patient with me, are used to me being asleep instead of awake at bizarre times of the day. Other half goes to bed very very early and I sometime wonder whether I will go truly mad when they eventually move out from half watching tv programmes and browsing blogs on other peoples lives!

Well thats me for now - as ever - nothing particularly intelligent or thought provoking. I did receive a package from the Open University today and confession time - fell asleep reading it!

Am signing off tonight and my thoughts are very much with Sleepless Nights (see blogs I read). How strange that through blogging we can read and care about relative strangers across the globe. A positive side of the internet I think, connections made like invisible hands held across oceans.
