@janer1967 I can't really say without giving too much away, as no one as ever wrote or thought of the idea before. ? I'm going to need a decent proof reader, before sending it off.

My dream is to get my husband well enough so he wants to come out somewhere - maybe for a coffee or to walk the dog. Maybe not grand but at the moment it seems like a really ambitious goal

tick them off one by one. It’s like the old adage, “how do you eat an elephant? One mouthful at a time!
I am with you on the life story, me and my wife have started putting some of our adventures down on a Facebook page, at some point I will use them as the bones of a book…it could be a good read.
have a look if you are on Facebook: the cut price millionaires
is the page title. -
If I'm still here in 5 years time then I just hope life will feel more manageable by then.
A few years ago I wrote a list of things I wanted to achieve before hitting 30 - including seeing a live comedy show, going to a proper music festival, visiting more gardens and historical places (I have done a few within a small radius) but that all seems well out of reach now. If there's one achievement I can make in the next 5 years, it'd be having the 'fixable' health issues sorted, which are currently only being restricted by myself and some of the other health issues! -

i Have spent a lifetime hiding my issues, and masking them with drink and other things.
I hope you find the fortitude to win through some of those challenges, each one of them sound “a handful” on their own.
do t sweat the driving too much, I used to do 50-60,000 miles a year, and the thought of getting behind a wheel now brings me out in cold sweats…I have lost half my vision, but we are both looking at the same issue, just from different angles.
sending you my positive vibes, just to get the ball rolling.
(me and a good friend decided “positive vibes” were our thing, as I wanted to send him prayers, but he is a pagan, so we agreed we could beam positive vibes to each other without leaving our belief systems too far behind) -
@adamskis hi ya, it's electronic at moment, m sat editing as I respond. I had some1 read it and she said it was great, but I knew at the time it needed lots of editing, so I need a good proof reader to get that total honesty.
