… not retreat.   (or even, indeed “Run Away”)

Today I’ve had to do something quite unusual, take a hard look at my situation and think about it sensibly. 

I’m not in the best of health. A stroke caused by someone running into the side of my car followed by a near-fatal road accident all within a year have left their marks on me. The three-week coma I was in after being air-lifted to hospital for a life-saving operation has left me with CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) which may be permanent or will, at best, be intermittent.

I keep trying to behave as if I’m the same as I was a few years ago, coming up with more ideas on how to spend my dwindling energies. Like a kid in a toy shop, I grab inspiration and go “Yes! I’ll do that!” This can’t continue.  I need to finish the Alchemy series…
