Today’s been kind of tough, so here’s a pic of yesterday which wasn’t tough. It’s was brill visiting the cat cafe. Today was the anniversary of my Dads passing, I just wanted to say “no” to the family ritual of visiting the grave and stay in bed. But I didn’t . I put up with a thoughtless comment about not having to use my stick at the moment and did I “really” need it anyway?? And used up all my spoons to please other people. Some days just go that way. But hey I’ve always got cat cafe to think about 😉😊🐱x

My beautiful daughter has written a piece on her blog about living with POTS and the reality of not being taken seriously. I’d love it if you have time to read it and reach out to her. I have to be honest I was one of the people who didn’t take her seriously when she was younger , which I’m now incredibly ashamed about. Well done beaut ❤️❤️. Proud of you xx I’ll pop the link in my bio

Went into town, drank this, ate a huge onion Bhaji , tolerated some people. Came home. Happy Saturday success that only you lot will understand. 😘. You’re my favourite but don’t tell the others 🤫

Happy Halloween! My 15 year old just asked me to buy him some beer for Halloween! I think not but ten out of ten for effort x

Look at the beautiful necklace I received last night. ⠀ ⠀ Last night I went out for a meal with my ex colleagues. They wanted to mark my career as a speech therapist in the NHS. I recently was dismissed due to ill health which felt quite shitty. ⠀ ⠀ I managed 3 hours in a restaurant chatting and enjoying myself . It’s a massive step. ⠀ ⠀ I suffered last night with massive pain somnia and this morning I hurt all over. But it was worth it. ⠀ ⠀ I had such a lovely time . It just shows the progress I’ve made using pacing, physio and Therapy . Not all days are like that but the fact that some are is such a good sign . ⠀ ⠀ Celebrate your achievements however small xxx
