Hoped to have my first play of board game Calico, but had to pop out all the cardboard pieces first, and sort them into wee bags. Big challenge with neurological illness hands! Done, though I'm now very sluggish all over as a result. Hope to have a play another day! https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/283155/calico #BoardGames #Disability #Accessibility #Neurological

We were particularly surprised by the high sensitivity of #neurological & #psychiatric disorders.'"

Waking late afternoon as continue to recover from my latest neurological illness flare. Heavy sleeping daily with the most bonkers protracted dreams! Still waiting for urgent gynaecology referral appointment. NHS Tayside has phenomenal wait for this particular clinic, though guidelines say they should see you in 2 weeks ... Meanwhile sleep. #NHS #Neurological #Dreams
