Illness

For several weeks I've been ill, really seriously ill – I've had sepsis and pneumonia and there were hours when my life hung by a thread. It’s going to take me long time to get better. 

Since coming out of hospital at the end of September I’ve had a second bout of infection, a fifth course of antibiotics. 

My body is exhausted, but so too is my mind. Walking has been beyond me. Blogging has been beyond me.

I've been told it will take me a long time to recover, but no-one is saying how long. Suddenly, I'm old.
