Home for a week

Hiya all, well, we have been home a week now from Bolton. The time we spent there was stressful to say the least but with this horrid disease, sometimes it was near impossible!

Elaine was as always wonderful and how she copes I have no idea. On one particular day I went to bed very cloudy which is never a good sign as it usually follows that the following day will be a bad one and it was.

By all accounts and what I have since been told is that I nearly got knocked down twice as I now have no spatial awareness when crossing the road. I have no fear so I have to be led by the hand most places now. During the same day I am told I became very upset and so so very insecure, ranting about what the future holds for my family and me.

All of this I just a blur to me but I do have some faint memories of Elaine holding me tight and stroking my head while I was in bed to reassure me all would be ok.

All seems to pass much faster these days and the past seems so close and not so far away as it really is, if that makes any sense? My childhood seems like yesterday but last month is like it never happened. What a curse this disease is, but while I have breath in my body and a song in my heart I will carry on this terrible fight and take it to the end!!

Best wishes, Norrms and family xxxxxxxxxxxx
