Blogging Against Disablism Day, May 1st 2008

So, what's this all about, then?

I'm having a rather different mid-life crisis. I've been unwell for three years with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - M.E. I've found it to be a Major Encumbrance. I've lost my job, we've sold our house and moved to somewhere rented, and recast a lot of plans. How will we cope? What will happen next?

About Me

Richard Lucas
Ceres, Fife, Scotland
58 years old, became unemployed in April 2009 because of ME after 31 years as a Social Worker. I've been married for nearly 33 years to Susanneke, and we have two sons and a daughter, all now astoundingly grown up.
