Diary Entry Number 1

When you belong to so many online forums, blog sites and social networking sites, it is sometimes difficult to keep up with it all because you don't want to have to keep writing the same things several times over. Therefore you find that things like blog sites get left by the wayside. I am going to try and address this situation by putting the more mundane elements of my life in this blog. Day 1.

Here I am sitting on my own in my living room because I'm in too much pain to do anything. The pain is in my shoulders my arms my legs and my back. I am actually lying on a bean bag on the floor in my living room. I am using my phone to write this blog because it has a speech recognition function which means I can speak the text and I don't have to write it. My hands tremble too much for me to write a text on the phone.

Those of you who are used to my perfect grammar might be slightly disappointed to see some grammatical errors on this blog. I apologize in advance for this and can only put it down to errors in the speech recognition, as well as my own inability to understand how things work on this phone.  For example, I have no idea how to make this phone do a full stop. Every time I say the word full stop it writes it in full instead of putting a full stop. So I have to stop writing and put 1 in. I also have to correct things where the speech recognition device gets it wrong and I may miss some things. Once again, I can only apologize for this.

As I said before, it is not very likely that I'm going to get much done today. Some days, the cocktail of painkillers that I take just don't seem to work. I sit here trying to read but the pain prevents me from holding a book properly. Some days I could just weep. I just wanted to tell you that. Otherwise not much else is happening. So I will sign off for now and perhaps write some more later. X
