Looking on the bright side

You always know when you have stabilised medically, because you are bored and actually looking forward to the days you can return to work.

For me I still don't know when that will be, as I am on high pain medication and still having intense physiotherapy. I am also awaiting the results of medial ESA medical and whether I had to appeal that decision. Not that I want to be out of work, I would love to have even a part time job where I could be my own person, earn my own money and have an element of freedom. Despite what our wonderful government think, not every one on benefits is there to avoid work. If I had the consistency to be able to get mobile every day or even every other day and say to an employer I can guarantee to meet my work commitments, then I would.

But the reality of chronic illness is until you plato, you can't achieve that. So instead you have to exist on the benefits given. But I am determined to get back into the world of work some how. If that means I have to work from home so be it. But I refuse to let it get me down. Instead over this year I will work on this blog, till I can make it the success I want it to be. That's also the reason why there are various topics being covered, from living with chronic illness, to motor sport to beauty.

However this blog is all or none of this, it is about being positive about all of life, and if you feel like having a personal pity party, pull back and review. I am not in the greatest health, but talking to others I am not alone or the worse off. I don't have to face surgery or a funeral this month. But instead I have physio, a few doctors appointment sand a couple of outings planned instead. The next outing is next Saturday to the O2 or Excel I can't remember. Which ever it is I haven't been there since I was registered disabled, so I am looking at it as a great adventure, and a fun outing. I know it involves bikes so I will have a blast.

I also know I have a few good outings later in the year, so I can look forward with joy and hope. To be honest I have the feeling 2013 has a lot of promise, don't ask why I just do. After all you have one chance at life, why waste it?
