I'm Back ....

just a quick update as i have been v busy with house move and final separation from my ex-finance these last couple of weeks

the move was less than straightforward with the vendors of my new house being involved in some confusion over probate - my ex also turned up on the day of the move to argue over petty stuff and threaten to withhold funds etc (she is not at all well mentally i fear).
so it was touch and go till the last minute - but went through in the end

i am now finally in my new home - which after years of living with someone else's anger and resentment. when all you want to do is to try to help them with their difficulties, is a breath of fresh air - if somewhat less than i would have been looking to buy a few years ago - it is habitable and will work as a base for now.

i have a lot to do still - am surrounded by boxes of stuff i put into storage 7 years ago - the place needs work - and the move took a lot out of me - so will probably take me a week or so to get back to where i was

just wanted to post to let people know i am not ignoring them if they have tried to get in touch - i'm just getting back on my feet

hope you are all doing good!

Great to hear you are in a healthier environment for mind, body and spirit. Best to you.

Welcome back Garzie!

The best thing is your out of a relationship that seemed to be holding you back from better health. As far as being missed, you've done so much to help others, you deserved a break. Best to your new, new life.

thank you all for the kind words.

quick update -

move is complete and have all my stuff out of storage now - and am gradually settling in to the new house.

i was in good shape before the move - having worked my way up to the best health and function i have had since getting ill 7 years ago - and the last two weeks before the move were very productive - managed to get a great deal done most days - more than i have done in any sustained way since the start of this illness which was very encouraging

unfortunately the final push to physically move pushed me over the edge and i was pretty rough for the last week or so - added to i think by another virus picked up from my nephew who had a cough and streaming nose on the day i arrived ( my family was helping with the move)

so the combination has knocked me about a bit - disturbed sleep, all over pain etc

but i am now back in the routine, diet, supplements, herbs etc that were working for me before the move and sleeping well again in my new home so i think i will gradually get back to where i was in a couple of weeks.

lots to do so its frustrating to feel so limited in what i can do right now - but its only temporary.

Thanks for all the well wishes

darn Garzie, that's a tough situation to go through for anyone much less a chronically ill person. Just reading about your situation made me flare lol.

I'm sorry it took it's toll on you. Hopefully, now that you are past all that, you can push forward in healing!
