The plans keep changing

Day after day the routine remains the same. I’m bored, especially when they don’t have the i newspaper on the trolley for me to read in the mornings.

Medication mayhem

Thursday 7th Mum woke me up at 08:00 for my medication but today I decided to get up then. I felt groggy and could easily have gone straight to sleep again but I really had to make the effort to get up and start conquering this. I have never had medication this strong before and […]
