The previous 12 months have not been the most uplifting I’ve had. Chronic conditions have become more chronic and advice is, this will become more so. Consequently, I have a lot of thoughts roiling around in my mind about how I might manage my future, especially as it impacts my wife, our family and many others who mean so much to us.

With this going on day and night, I genuinely felt I didn’t have anything of worth to add to the blog. I definitely didn’t want whatever I write to infer my situation is worse than that facing everyone else. I know that isn’t so.

So, with some trepidation I have decided to try to write again with the hope someone might begin to think they are not on their own in dealing with matters chronic…because you’re not.
