Hi folks,
Yes, I’m still alive.
A few of you have reached out recently, wondering why I’ve been so quiet on social media and the blog, so I thought I should pop into your timelines and give you a quick update.
The truth is, I’m dealing with a few medical issues at the moment. Nothing serious so far, thankfully, but enough to leave me feeling pretty rough and in constant pain. To be honest, when you’re battling nagging aches and pains all day, being sociable isn’t exactly top of the agenda. That’s mainly why I’ve been off the radar for the past week or so.
On top of that, Twitter has become a particularly unpleasant place recently and, for once, I simply can’t be bothered getting dragged into the endless political and current affairs squabbles that seem to dominate every conversation.
The good news is that I’m still off the fags. That’s 13 days smoke-free so far. Because of the medical issues and the medication I’m currently on, I don’t think I’m getting a completely clear picture of the benefits yet. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve stopped coughing up a lung every morning, and both my breathing and sense of taste have noticeably improved. However, I’m on some fairly strong medication and antibiotics right now, and I suspect they’re masking some of the other positive effects I’d normally be noticing.
Hopefully I’ll be feeling better next week and be back to my usual self. Until then, please know how much I appreciate your friendship, support and concern. It really does mean a lot.
I’ll be back causing trouble again soon enough.
