Personal contentment

Once I considered the world to be my backyard, now my backyard IS my world. But the world isn’t forgotten,it is very much in my thoughts, especially the continual conflicts between various nations.

Destruction, killing, along various other happenings that defy understanding

There is no doubt in my mind that this will always be so, this has been the norm for my lifetime, and that is short, in the scheme of things.

History shows that this has always been the human way. BUT WHY?

These are the thoughts dominant in my mind at the moment as I rest, recovering from a bout of urinary tract infection.

My recovery continues but slower than desired.

Must remember to practice CONTENTMENT.

Newer Life, still.

Since my last time of writing, quite a number of changes have occurred in my life Probably the most unexpected one was when my neurologist said that he believed that my MS had burnt itself out and that any changes to my health would be now due to old age rather than MS.

So now my wife anod I will continue as before, but limiting our travel to the immediate surrounds. My goal is to be as active as a powerchair will allow and continue with gardening, woodworking, and DIY projects. Fortunately, this goal was set in motion a number of years ago. To this end, I will be taking advantage of any affordable technology and DIY ideas that come to mind.

I intend to keep my readers informed of our progress.

So until next time, best wishes and stay positive. Regards, Ken.

A Slow recovery indeed!

When can I get back to what is most enjoyable to me?….My unfinished DIY projects, woodwork and gardening, something that is unpredictable with this present illness.

For the last two months I have been recovering from firstly, a urinary tract infection (not recommended) it appears that this then caused a MS exacerbation. That was a very strange and painful experience, consisting of unexpected pain, appearing in a different part of the body, on various days. Then there was the never before experienced, fatigue. No wonder multiple sclerosis is often referred to as the mystery disease! It will be very interesting to see what additional symptoms will be inflicted upon yours truly. I guess that time will reveal all. Whatever it turnes out to be will have to adapted to.
