Well, It's just another day. I don't feel that good today. Feel like I'm running on empty and have done all day. Hubby's gone into town so I'm all on my lonesome, feel the loss of Oscar even more today, he'd be on the couch with me by now. :(
My friend, Jess, bought my 4 week old Godson up to see me yesterday. Hayden Lee, that really gave me a boost. There's something about that little life, so reliant on us, yet his little face so determined.... and no he wasn't just filling his nappy!! I guess all life has it's cycle, its beginning and ending and we are just here as long as time and God permits.
About Me
- Emily78
- It would probably be better for someone else to describe me cos I'm not very good at this bit, but I'll do my best! I'm currently studying for an English Literature and Language Degree with the Open University. It's hard work but good fun and I've made lots of online friends. I was diagnosed with ME in 2009 which made study extremely difficult, but with the help of an excellent tutor and great learning support team at the OU, I managed to complete the year. Since then I have carried on and learnt to cope , managing my studies around the ME. I have a WONDERFUL husband who looks after me and three beautiful cats who I couldn't live without!

Oscar's Sonnet
CAT UNIQUE
His silky coat is nothing like before
On His chest His fur is soft as down
As He sits, He washes each perfect paw
His nose, His chin, His beautiful crown.
White bits always white; black bits always black;
Completely clean; nose to tail; front to black.
A small black patch beneath His little grin
Like God had splashed a paint spot on His chin.
The tear in His ear shows a battle scar
Which He wears with pride as the fields He roams,
His territory does not stretch very far
And He'll never wander miles from home.
As Every Other one who loves their own
My love for Cat Unique is mine alone.

A Cat Unique
My beloved cat Oscar Wilde died on Saturday. He was two months off twenty, so he'd had a long and happy life. My husband, Michael, and I loved him so very much and will miss him terribly. Leo, one of our two other cats already seems to particularly miss him. He is more affectionate and wants to be with us all the time. His sister, Frankie, doesn't seem that bothered though.
Oscar was a wonderful friend to me all my life, a constant who was always there, even if we did trip over him quite a lot! He certainly was a Cat Unique!

Not exclusive to ME Fighters!!
Just to say this blog is for anyone to post their views and comments and share any little anicdotes with us! Pictures, jokes, anything is welcome, we all need a pick me up every now and again!
Hi People!
Well this is new to me, but this is a place for anyone trying, whether successfully or not, to live a life with ME. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). One day I'll learn to say that word!!
I was diagnosed with ME in June 2009 but I believe I was suffering from it much earlier, it just went undetected because I have Epilepsy and any ME like symptoms were associated to the medication I was already taking. However it was only when my whole body finally gave in, in March 2009 that ME was finally suggested.
Since then I've tried going to an ME clinic (useless, though I'd like your views of clinics in your area), ME groups arranged by the clinics (much the same as the clinics) and now I'm more a less learning myself what is best for my body by trial and error.
At the moment I'm having a relapse but I'm hoping that it won't last much longer, I know now that it is just a relapse and I will come out the other side with a smile on my face even if it takes months. The power of Positive Thinking! So let me know how your all getting on!
