Ack. The health thing is not going well at the moment. I've been low through most of the summer because of a fairly minor, but definite, relapse. I also had continuing infections from the ingrowing toenail, which grew back just as before. So can't take steroids for the MS while I have an infection, so have prolonged and tedious course of antibiotics to try and get the foot better - then zap my immune system with the steroids.
 I've had the high-dose steroid course before without too much problem. This time its hit quite hard. With poor eyesight and generally feeling rubbish, I can't drive. I've ordered a grocery delivery from Tesco for tomorrow and had Iain B drop round some milk and the Radio Times this evening.  It's just a matter of waiting for things to settle down, and coping in the meantime.

The biggest question at the moment is whether I can/will go to Hartington. I was starting to feel well enough to drive myself out, if I took things nice and gently. The way I've been the last couple of days though, I might not be fit to drive by next weekend. I probably won't even know until the middle of next week whether I'll be fit to go away at all - which doesn't make arranging a lift any easier. So kind of stuck at the moment. Rest is the best thing - and about all I can do - so I won't be about much in the next few days.

I'm working on my websites at the moment; I'm creating a new one just for the fan fiction. I'm pleased with how it's coming, and I managed to get some work done on it today, so I can at least get something useful done.

ms, illness, friends
