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
