Improving me… I’m not going backwards
It’s been a while, but having been in bed pretty much solidly for 10 days today, I was feeling low. I’ve written blogs before on how when I’m physically unwell, here.

The last time I felt like this was January, before my therapy was due to start and I wrote a few notes here I'm feeling different, drained, tired, I don't want to go out, I want to stay home and I can feel it's getting worse.
