I was just thinking: if anyone else reads this, probably the best thing you can do to help is not to worry about me too much (though look for your local MS charity, if you want. They could always do with more support!), but honestly, look after your own health, and look after the people around you, and your community.

I’m not that unhealthy, really. I’m not old. I’m not that overweight. I try to look after myself. And yet, this has happened to me, and my life has totally changed, potentially for some time, completely randomly and without provocation, over the course of less than a week.

So please, look after yourselves, and your loved ones. If this can happen to me, like this, it can probably happen to almost anyone. Watch out for it.

And also, live your life to the fullest, as I’ve already said. Because you never know when you’re gonna lose the ability to see colour, or read a book, or spell, or drive a car, or sleep properly, or play a game, or watch a movie. You just… Never know. So make the most of what you have, who you have around you, and the abilities you have, while you have them. Do that for me.

Cheers, and best wishes. And thanks for all your kind thoughts. Genuinely. 🙂
