As
I compose this instalment it’s now in the early days of December
Jean
got an explanation for her diarrhoea it’s called Campylobacter (it’s the most common type of food poisoning and is
mainly associated with the person having been in contact with poultry or having
handled raw chicken pieces). The Doctor said no medication, but allowed to run its
course.
It’s been a traumatic time over 3 weeks for Jean with severe discomfort,
lack of energy, this debilitating illness on top of her ongoing related
problems. It is now the 7th December and Jean is improving.
Review
of past year
Checking up on diary since January 2015 I’ve
lost many, many functions this year - virtually all about the loss of my trusty
right shoulder and hand.
It’s been by far my worst year since diagnosed in 2005
of frustration, agitation, mind panic, and negative thoughts.
This year has been very challenging, a long haul and I
feel its time to sign out from composing my blog and conserve and concentrate
my remaining capabilities in communication with Jean and the family.
I haven’t said to Allison, our daughter, but hopefully
in her regular visits she will write a paragraph or two on how I’m getting on
to Carol for inserting in the blog to
let my regular readers know how I’m coping with this ‘hellish disease’.
As I’ve said in the past I have no fear of death, but
the length of time my particular type is going is very trying now.
I suspect, because of regular exercise I’ve been relatively
pain free, other than by evenings after 13hrs in the wheelchair my bottom can
get sore as this part of my body is a fixture when seated.
Health wise I’ve had no complaints since inflicted
with MND, maybe I’m really in for the ‘long haul’ - I hope not’! But what will
be will be.
