My body is constantly changing because of Friedreich’s
Ataxia and it has been for most of my life. This is just a fact that I have to
live with. My legs were the first to go
as my walking gradually deteriorated until I needed a wheelchair permanently. Then,
there is the voice, which has got worse over the years (as I have blogged about.). These two changes
have been visibly noticeable but there have been other changes recently. My
fingers and toes are curling over which is not ideal but it is not giving me
any problems at the moment. My vision isn’t great, especially long distance but
again, that is not hindering me yet. However, my hearing is affecting me and I
may need to get it sorted.
Tonight’s post may seem random but I thought I’d share with
you that I am constantly changing and just when I think I’m used to my voice,
my condition strikes again. It is a bit like a physical battle but I’m not
going to give because I know I will win.
My eagle-eyed readers (or anyone that has who has visited my
blog before and has a brain) will have noticed another change; that the page
has undergone a touch of redecoration. Over the weekend, I thought that the
layout was a bit tedious, although some may say that my writing makes up for it
;). Anyway, I decided to make the relevant changes today but spent longer on it
than I would have liked. There are quite a few choices but I didn’t want to
overcomplicate it with psychedelic colour schemes and illegible font. So, I’ve
gone for a simple black and white background with a blend of orange. I chose
this not to upset any colour-blind people nor do I work for Easy Jet but my
favourite colour is Orange. I hope you like what I’ve done with the place and
feedback is welcome as ever.
Before I go, my usual reminder that I still need the votes
on the BBX. I’ve got 315 so moved up to 6th in Europe but want to
get in the top 5. Just give your friends
this link: http://www.bigblogexchange.org/blog/72005,
tell them to click the vote button, type in their E-Mail and then the important
part is to follow the on-screen instructions in order to confirm. Thank you, as
Tesco would say ‘Every Little Helps’.
I might not be able to post tomorrow because I am visiting
the Formula One factory in Milton Keynes so I am not sure when I will be back.
And my friend is coming round in the evening. But, I’ll try to fit it in. I am
sure there will be loads to write about.
Bye for now!
