The Suddenly Kate Show

I have just realised this morning that I can open doors (push or pull) pain free! I haven’t been able to do that for the past five months so this is pretty big news for me and I just don’t have enough people to tell!
I think we can say that either the injection they gave me three weeks ago or the medication I am on (which takes up to 8 weeks to show effects – I am on a high dose though) is working! In the last week especially there has been a huge difference in mobility and pain levels. Its hard to explain to people who I see every day because for them they just saw me walking slower and it was so much more than that, but when you can’t see pain its hard to understand, I’ve learnt that much. It’s still not perfect and my inflammation levels are all still high but I am feeling more positive now that I can move more without it exhausting me and causing a lot of pain. I am literally champing at the bit to get walking, I just have to pace myself, as after the first hundred yards it’s not…

Hi Guys J I decided to leave my blog for a couple of months as I was away for 5 weeks out of 8 and it seemed best to get that all behind me so I could focus again, and here I am!
I am poised at the keyboard, ready to impart great wisdom or at best general tidbits, about whats going on with me at the moment.
Shall I start with a podcast update? I will start that back again tomorrow possibly, it took three attempts to start and then after that I fell at the first hurdle – which was travel – but I don’t have that excuse anymore as I have used up all my holiday for the foreseeable future. It will start either tomorrow or next week so keep an ear out for it J
Now a crafty update! Crafts have been on my mind so much yet I have managed so little, I have made my PIF gift for Sarah at ‘People don’t eat enough fudge’ and it is in the finishing stage, I am just tentative as I want her to like it…
