The Essay : places …

From the bed to the settee.

I seem to have only two places I go these days and that is from the bed to the settee and then back to the bed again.

Opening my eyes I cast my scanning senses throughout my body in order to assess how I am doing today. I do this today and every day because if I don’t I may attempt to get out of bed and collapse to the floor.

have I got a migraine … 

This has to be the very first and most important question that I ask myself. Otherwise, too much movement could make me vomit severely and without let up, every 15 minutes, for the rest of the day.

what and where hurts and can I make it to the bathroom or do I need to wait until my pain medications have worked enough, or even at all …

Again the questions must be asked and the answers will determine my behaviour.

the bed or settee

places to choose from to ‘be’

maybe the coffin

… the end …

Please feel free to contact me to share your outcomes or with any questions you may have.

My birth name is Denise, but I’m know as Bella to those who love me. I have a first class honours degree in education & psychology and a strong passion to keep learning and educating others ... I have severe ME/CFS and lots of other chronic illnesses and I started this blog as an expansion to my instagram page, where I advocate for chronic illness. I am married and have two grown up boys, or should I say young men. I have three gorgeous grandchildren, one boy and two girls. And despite being chronically sick and housebound I am mostly happy. 🥰
