Over the last few years as my ataxia has got worse my memory has also declined. I regularly forget names, numbers, day to day things and turning off the hob.
As the weather cools I thought it would be nice to make some soup and spent hours simmering chicken bones, garlic and celery to make a nice stock. I then added swede, carrot and potato for a lovely veggie soup.
Leaving it simmering on the hob I went and sat down promptly forgetting about it and setting a timer. Having fallen asleep I was abruptly woken by the smoke alarm so leapt up, fell over, staggered to kitchen, fell over, turned off hob, fell over, turned off smoke alarm and collapsed in a heap on my sofa.
If anyone wants to bring me homemade soup they can!!
How Rare?
