Shwmae @axnr911, indeed, I have set myself a five year goal. The reality of my situation is that I only just have got over the most debilitating of my symptoms, and now the second year is working on improving what I am left with. It took me a year to be able to make the bed, so I am not expecting miracles. However, it’s all the things we can do to fill up that time in-between the bigger challenges that, I feel, makes for a fulfilling recovery. Have loved the artwork going, the gardening, and the humour. This, I feel, enriches such a difficult time.
