The disappointment of not returning school or entering the art show as planned, I had to remind myself, this is how #chronicillness works. You can't plan. You just have to make the most of when your body works while ensuring you're not to do too much!

Never forgotten the time I couldn’t tell my (late) mum that she had post. Simply could not find the words to to tell her. Wound up playing a long game of the worst kind of charades. As a writer when this happens it can be extremely frustrating. We live for words. #MECFS #MEAwarenessWeek
