Welcome

Thanks for joining me.

I am not sure where this journey is going to take me, but I've a sense from others that it isn't going to be an easy ride. There will be setbacks, periods of slow progress, maybe even lapses into depression, and moments (I hope) of reward and elation. I can't tell what, when, how quite yet.

I'm going to be writing quickly and when I can, so don't expect great prose!

Off to Wiltshire

Off to Wiltshire tomorrow to see my parents for my mother's birthday. (They live in the beautiful town of Bradford-on-Avon, where I grew up). Naturally she's concerned about her 'little boy' - all of 46 years old - and his impending CI journey. But we won't let it dominate our thoughts. A friend emailed recently saying 'don't focus on the distant future, stay with the task in hand' and she is right, as is everyone else saying the same thing. There are moments when this doesn't seem such a big deal. Equally there are moments when it does feel like a choice between different forms of defeat...

Small steps.
