KMII - The Non-Hiatus-Hiatus

Hey guys, 

You know I hate doing this but it must be done. Irishward is taking a wee break. I won't use the word 'Hiatus' because that has a stigma of never returning and I can assure you that Irishward will return. Just not for a few weeks. I've not been well enough to write for a few weeks now and it seems like it will be a few more before i'll be able to again. 

If someone could come transcribe the story from my brain then that would be great, cos it's all in there. 

I assume most you know I have M.E. and like most people you think you know what it is / haven't a clue but nod understandingly / or you endure it yourselves or live with someone with it and you really do understand it.

I've had it for almost 4 years & i dont even understand it all. What i can tell you is it is a chronic fatigue illness that affects people differently. Personally, i dont sleep much, i have painful muscle spasms and joint pain that would knock out a sumo wrestler. This makes writing painful, especially when the muscle / joint pain of the month is in my wrists, elbows & shoulders.

Because I have a lowered immune system I catch everything and it takes a long time to recover from any illness or procedure. To this point, it's been assumed by my medical team that i have not yet recovered from a gallbladder surgery i had in April 2010. Its almost like i still have a sick gallbladder when in fact it was removed. So I will be going into hospital next week for more tests, in the hopes that they can discover a solution to the chronic pain in that part of my body.

I will continue to write KMII when i can. I will update chapters when i'm satisfied that they are up to standard but it will probably take longer than usual. I can only assure you that it will be finished and hope that you stay with me for the bumpy ride ahead.

I'll post an update on health stuff when i can / if i remember (short term memory) but mostly you can find me on Twitter ( @IrishTwiFicster )


Thanks for the support
Slainte,
Bee

    Oh I would love to come transcribe for you! In fact, I can think of no better career change than to be Bee's personal transcriber. Now if I could only get to Ireland....

    Please feel better, and know that we're behind you. I know what it feels like, and to think of it as bad as yours... I don't even know how you do it.

    Tweet you soon

    You are an amazing writer and the fact that you have got so much done already, on top of everything you are learning to deal with in your life, is inspirational. Your health is far more important than the next chapter, I wish i lived closer because it would be an honour to transcribe for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. oxo
