Running on empty

Please take this blog as it’s meant to be: I have Stage 4 liver disease and a big Respiratory problem I have been very open with my illness and felt it would be easier to be honest. My life expectancy is a year. The winter has been brutal on me and the constant rain stopped my daily walks. You can help me by reading this.

No visitors please – This is a reminder : I sadly do not want visitors I only went over to the bothy a cafe across the road for 30 min and was wasted spent most of the day in bed. My energy levels are so low, recovery is slow, I love people but do not have the strength to cope

Medical Questions- Folk ask so many questions what drugs are you on. What is the state of my illness I know they are caring but I cannot repeat all my details daily. I do not want to talk about it every conversation. I get out on short walks these when I have the energy make me so much better. I have the sea and forest nearby when I feel better.

Trips to bothies drives etc – Offers to take me on a drive visit old haunts. I cannot managed an even a drive it’s kind but sadly not for me. Sorry,

Please accept this not a tge ramblings of an old man I appreciate all your kindness and would appreciate if you could pass this on. Do not put anything off in life get out there and grab it.
