I nearly gave up yesterday. Giving up the struggle suddenly seemed like a very good idea. When it was just the pain in my back and knees that I had to cope with was bad enough. Add the new problems with my head into the mix, and everything seemed futile. Managing my exercise regime was…

Despite everything, I am looking forward to Christmas, the way a child does, I expect. I am feeling like a very stroppy child these days, one that is being denied so many things.
