Limitations and acceptance.

Hi friends,


Yes it's been a while. Ummmm so much has happened I'm not sure where to start.

All manner of hells broke loose in February. Mum and I were selling our first property project and the buyers were awful. It left a nasty taste in my mouth. Needless to say we've left property projects alone for now. 

Tough Mudder training antagonised my M.E. and my health rapidly declined. In March/April I succumbed and bought a mobility scooter. The guys at Norfolk Mobility Scooters, in Salhouse, we're brilliant. They understood when this 38 year old sobbed her heart out in their showroom. Needless to say I now have Betsy, my blue scooter. 
That was definitely the hardest decision I've made since getting my diagnosis. I thought closing Ignis Photography was horrid. Accepting you can no longer walk more than about 10 metre without being in excruciating pain and it having a knock on effect all day, is hard. Really hard. I still don't think I'm used to Betsy, or the Shopmobility scooters, yet. However it does enable me to at least get around.  
Mentally and physically I know it was the right decision, but my heart still thinks I can cycle 10 miles around the black run at Thetford Forest.  

I'm hoping that at some point I can pace myself better, at least better than I am right now!

See you again soon

Michelle
