Having a rough time with my health recently. Infection-virus-flare-another infection. Today my "bad" eye has a weird sore patch developing, another "thing" to sort out. It's exhausting! Very grateful to Nurse Dog Luna keeping me company while I rest up.

It was refreshing to meet with an anaesthetist yesterday at pre-op clinic who introduced me to the @sobauk.co.uk guidelines. I'd not come across them until now. Thank you for making this difficult time that little bit easier 🙏 #SharedDecisionMaking #PatientVoice #Thankyou

A reminder on one of the hardest days of the year for me. It is never ok to ask someone when they are starting a family, never. Thinking of everyone struggling today. #ChildlessNotByChoice

I struggled to know who I was at the end of last year. With a few tweaks and working hard to hone down on what is really important to me, I am now much happier and more motivated than ever. Sometimes you have to take a step back to realise what it is you want.

Happy Friday! I'm having a "rest day". I have to be really careful that I don't burn out. It's so tempting to carry on, I'm motivated, my brain is willing but my body needs to rest. If I don't listen to my body then I'll be out of action for weeks. Nurse dog Luna with me, as always. #mecfs #dogsky

Thank you for writing this Lucy, it sums up perfectly how important the online community is when you are disabled. I'm so grateful to have social media bring us all together ❤️
I wrote about the very special ways that disabled people - even those who hardly know each other IRL - show up for each other online
It's also kind of a love letter to the disabled women in my life
