MY REVIEW
Its not actually often I read a book that strikes the fear of god in me, but a missing child, any parent fears this. It’s a gut wrenching fear.

It’s full on action from the absolute start, it’s intense and fast paced and a multitude of blindalleys to stir you down.

Usually I’ve been having a slower more Agatha Christie style, so to have something a bit gritty, and darker was a pleasant change of pace for me.

I can easily see people taking this away on holiday with them, as a lounge around the pool read. Or for me curled on the sofa with a pillow fort and hot chocolate.

Off on more rambling adventures, we’ve decided to try and do it once a week, that way I have a couple of days to plan ahead, ie route, food, clothes prep, the walk day itself which is a whole day out, then a few days of complete rest afterwards.

This time we faced my nemesis walk, the first and only time we’d done it I felt like I was dying!!

Here I am at Freyas cave first, I’m not attempting to climb in, as I need to preserve energy.

Met a bullish sheep, he really intimidated me. I ran off ( well waddled as fast as I could)

Lovely weather though, some moody skies but overall cool enough to not over heat. Only got cold when we sat for food.

more friendly faces, we even saw a few walkers, lots of smiles and chats.

Some things are clearly off limits to me, and rightly so too. But to see others out and about enjoying the countryside was lovely.

Some bonkers folk on the top, I’m glad I’m safe and sound down here.

Me taking photos of the stream, I do love a babbling brook to cleanse my soul. Too cold to dip toes in though.

Glad I did it, but boy it wasn’t easy, loads of mud and so tiring. But it’s no longer my nemesis and I can tick it off my list.

Replaced hip had a golf ball sensation after this, but thankfully eases off with complete rest and hot water bottles. The other hip is just so grinding and white hot pain, it’s hating me and life right now.

Arthritis in Hands

As I’ve posted many times on my hands, we are finally getting some progress as it’s x-ray day.

Once xrays are done that means I can have the steroid injections, which I’m honestly needing. It’s hurting to type and hold my phone at times, and wearing gloves and splints at night are a common theme.

The Day before x-ray appointment had to have the most stupid accident, I walked through a doorway, and somehow the top of my thumb got caught and I left it behind as I walked, it really bent backwards, and considering I have #EhlersDanlosSyndrome and I can bend it fully back, that’s saying something.

Prime example above of how far my thumb goes.

Hospital was super quick, managed to get 2 xrays for each hand. Now it’s got to be sent over to Micats and see what she thinks of it all. And whether it’s getting worse.

Still icing the thumb as it’s throbbing even being still, so clearly the accident has set me back a bit in terms of ligaments or tendons.

A few days later Micats have booked me in for steroid injections in the hands on the 24th March. Scared, Nervous but pleased as well, as I have to keep trying to improve the pain.
