Hi, my name is Laine!
Hi everyone! I just found this community. I was in hospital in ICU from January till May and I am settled back in at home now. Unfortunately there have been some permenant changes to my physical ability.
I have an auto immune condition called anti synthetase syndrome which has caused Interstitial Lung Disease, I also have a stoma (hubert) and neuropathy in my feet.
Hobbies wise I love reading, watching anime, gaming (Tabletop RPGs), music, singing, visiting micropubs and socialising. I live in Kent on the coast so have the beach on my doorstep, I haven't managed to go yet this year but hoping too soon (I'm very unstable on my feet and can only walk about 10meters without a rest, I've not tried walking on sand yet) I have 3 feline companions who are adorable furry nurses and a very supportive partner.
I'm Sorry that this rambled on, I never know what to say to introduce myself 🤣...

Heya @Journey and a big welcome to the community. I hope you're doing well on this sunny day?
Thanks for telling us a bit about yourself, it's always nice to know a bit more about everyone. I'm also a bit of a tabletop gamer, what's your current fave?
And we're always happy to see pictures of peoples pets. 😁0
