Thanks so, so much to everyone for your prayers and kind words. I wanted to give a quick update – still no diagnosis, and still doing various tests etc., but I have been back to more-or-less normal for reading in the past few days.
Throughout all of this, symptoms have come and gone a lot, so I’m not counting my chickens yet – and I’m going to extend my blogging break a little – but didn’t want to go completely radio silence.
Oh good luck Simon – been thinking of you. Sometimes these viruses do seem to run and run before they finally go away – let’s fervently hope yours is now about to take its leave.
Thanks so much for this update. Very glad to hear you’re able to read again, and that you’re taking care of yourself.
Oh gosh, I missed your first update, friend, but will now say lots of prayers and send many good thoughts. I’m glad you’re back to reading!!
Big hugs, Simon. Thinking of you. 🤗
I am so sorry to hear that you have not been well and very much hope that you are feeling much better very soon.
Good luck with your future progress & thanks for the update. So glad you’re able to read again.
Good news indeed. Still sending beams.
Do get well soon! Much love and prayers, xxxxx
Happy to hear that. Take care and I hope you’re able to get a diagnosis soon.
I’m glad things are a bit better!
I think the diagnosis may be “Covid Anxiety”. My husband and I have also not felt well in various ways and on different days over the last few months. I do hope you’re feeling better soon.
I am so pleased that you are able to read again and pray that your sight remains good enough for reading. Viral illnesses that come and go seem much more debilitating so hope that you soon have a diagnosis. Sending you lots of love and prayers.
Let’s hope you get the test results soon Simon. The waiting is so stressful.
Fab! Hope things continue to improve! :D
How scary to be ill just now. Hoping for the best for you. Speedy recovery!
So glad you are back to reading, it’s such a wonderful escape I find, both physically and mentally. Hope you have a diagnosis soon and that your life regains it’s equilibrium . Thinking of you.🌻
Missed the first update, but glad to hear some progress and will be praying for a quick, complete recovery!
Take care of yourself , Simon. I love reading your Blog. You always provide suggestions for inspirational reading. Do not drive yourself too hard.
Thinking about you and sending good vibes your way.
Please take care of yourself and don’t worry about us. We’ll be here when you’re ready to come back.
I always think of you when I re read E.M. Delafield, which I did recently, so glad you can read again. After having eye surgery a couple of years ago, I became a devotee of audio books in addition to reading books. It’s a revelation to hear Jane Austen on audio.
Be very kind to yourself.
Thinking of you and wishing you all the best Simon, look after yourself.
Viruses can be so persistent and debilitating. Reading again will be such a gift for you especially as you are confined to resting and recovering. Prayers still and more promised.
Sorry to hear of your health problems, and hope you are soon recovered.
Thinking of you, Simon, and pulling for you! Hope all of your reads are wonderful and healing and you’re back to full-strength soon ❤️
