Sorry I’ve not been posting for a while. I’ve got a weak immune system, only 25 and had sepsis three times.

One of them was from a freaking sore throat. Damn glad I didn’t die because just imagine the gravestone – killed by a sore throat. So embarrassing.

This time, it’s been an abscess on my foot and tonsillitis. And now – a chest infection. At this point, the only logical conclusion – my body finds a bug and says, “well, hello there, do come in”.

I’m signing off to get some sleep. I’ll be back when I feel better.
