Oooo cover me in marmite and call me happy
When DH was 27 he was diagnosed with a particularly nasty degenerative arthritic condition (Ankylosing Spondilitis and Psoriatic Arthritis)
The bloke I knew virtually disappeared .. he had to, over the course of a few years, give up everything he loved doing .. cricket, football, any sport you can name he played .. rollerblading, dancing ... with it he gave up on friends .. because they were sort of associated with sports and the pub after (he is no longer allowed to drink because of medication)
anyhooo
this morning ... DH has gone off to an ART CLASS
he is trying to find a new interest
it has been 3.5 years since he's felt good enough to do something for himself .. and find an interest he can manage
and I just want to shout to the hilltops .. the partner I had 5 years ago might be finally coming back to me
.. this will make no sense to anyone else .. but it does to me and I wanted to post
