Another update with not much to say. My Gout is still hanging around. It felt like it was going weeks ago, but it flares up again and again. Old injuries like a broken wrist that happened 40 odd years ago feel stiff and sore, and some mornings I'm just too stiff and sore to do anything. It's taking me two three hours to get my body moving properly. It is bloody depressing, but all I can do is keep on trying to get back to normal. Anti inflammatories help, but I don't like taking drugs so it's only on really bad days I succumb.
I'm still swimming and going to the gym, but on some days I'm just too stiff and sore, and that's depressing. I'm hoping that things wil ease and I'll feel back to normal, but when?
Anyway, it has been dominating things for me, but obviously other things are going on. On the one hand things at home are going well. Sex life is good. The only issue with my dressing is I'm running out of wardrobe space....oh, and my wife keeps borrowing my dresses, skirts and tights. And yet I'm still feeling something is missing in my life. Maybe it's an age thing, thinking that perhaps I didn’t make the most of my life, that I settled for the easy options far too often. The realisation of my own mortality is becoming far too obvious.
Well, looking at what I've written I hope it's not as depressing for thers as it is for me. I must try and be more optimistic in any further posts. So this morning I'm off to the gym even though I'm still a bit stiff and sore. The sun is shining so I'm sure it will be a good day.
