28/10/2024
On the 17/01/2022 was the date I was officially diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I had already been told this but i had to wait a year for the one MS Specialist Neurologist to return due to Covid for it to be made official. My world had fallen apart, but that’s not the kicker.
The next letter dated 27/01/2022 (yep, 10 days later) was from a solicitor instructed by my then wife and love of my life, to formally announce her decision of a divorce.
Make what you will of that, forgiveness is given, no judgment is needed, just letting you all know the facts.
I’ve had a few kind messages from concerned friends who wondered why I appeared to have vanished.
Well, I didn’t vanish but I did fade away from everything and everyone while I tried to collect the shattered pieces of what was.
Well, I’m still here, still standing (sometimes with crutches or a chair) but this old fighter is finding his way back.
So, if anyone would like a chat, catch up, coffee, cake or curry and a pint, so drop me a line. Be good to reconnect with those of you who remember the me that’s still in there.
