Because people have been asking...
I am still ill and still at my parents house in Belgium. I spend my days lying around going 'ugh' and then I force myself to go outside for a walk, come home and collapse. At a later stage I tend to force myself to type, proof-read or translate something for friends and family, though I must admit the Internet is a distraction. It is so big and shiny! Then after some more collapsing and health issues, I go back to bed. Not very thrilling, though I am thinking that maybe I should start my own business and start charging people for my work. No, just kidding, it would be wrong and cruel, and I do it for free for friends and family (Uh-ah! I mean translating, not rudeness!), but really, I seem to have found a gap in the market.
Due to this ongoing illness of glandular fever or whatever it is these days (ME/post viral chronic fatigue? Who knows?), I do not tend to write about what I have done, as it would be too dull for anyone to cope with, and personally I can't be bothered to type out the state of my health on a daily basis. I try to ignore it in the hope that it will go away mostly. When I recover, I guess you will find more entries about what I did, but I don't want this to be just a diary, I want it more to be a reflection of myself, what I like and find interesting, what amuses me and other things that I like to discuss. Anything that tickles my fancy will appear, so if you are a thing and would like to appear, try tickling my fancy! ;)
Generally this should be a place for people who already know me to get to know me better or for new people to perhaps find something here that they like and think they might want to be my friend in the future. Or perhaps it will put people off entirely, but then at least they know that they should stay away if they don't like me! ;)
Anyway, believe me, you will be the first to know when I have recovered, because I will be shouting it from the rooftops! No luck so far though...
I am returning to the doctor this week, but I don't think it will prove to be useful in any way, just another "can't do anything about that, stay home and rest" type meeting. However, I have to go to get a note for my dad's work to say why I am currently in Belgium and whether they would like to provide me with medical cover. At 90 Euro a blood test and 40 Euro a visit to the doctor, you can see how costs build up. I am sure that my parents could be spending their money in a more useful fashion, so if they chose to somehow cover some of it, it would be great. Really, I should have done this a lot earlier, but I was living under the impression that it wouldn't take so bloody long and that I would be back in London before I know it. No such luck, but here is hoping that one day I will wake up to the news that they have found a magical cure - just one drop and you will be healthy! Either that, or more likely that it will go away by itself. Oh yeah, and I have really started to hate doctors and hospitals, they piss me off with their unhelpfulness or sheer incompetence. I am sure they are doing their best, at least some of them, but really, some deserve a poke in the face. Some shouldn't be allowed to treat people. Grr... hopefully I will have to see a lot less of doctors in the future.
