Lockdown, Day 42

Today didn't start too early. I was told to stop taking my iron tablets on Friday as all iron needs to be out of my system or it could damage the scope...?!?! Mikey has always been convince I actuallly eat iron to help my anaemia, maybe he is right! I stopped on Friday as instructed (I'm being far too well behaved at the moment) But I did notice yesterday that I was feeling more fatigued than normal; today I feel even worse and energy has totally vanished. I'm not looking forward to restarting the iron after the 11th as I can remember only too well how horrible it was when I started the first time. But at least I might actually manage to lose some weight for once!

 Poor Mikey is really suffering with all the lockdown etc  He really wants to be back with others his age rather than his aged parents, he understands that this virus is horrific and all this is for his safety, but he is just fed up with the restrictions, especially when he sees other people ignoring them - and when it is someone who really should know better he just gets even more confused. My main problem is I feel exactly the same, but my lack of energy makes trying to boost him up even more difficult than usual; I just wish I could help him. Even telling him when it might end would help... But I do understand why the government can't tell us that.

I read yesterday that some tycoon is taking the Government to court to get the lock down lifted. I assume he is bored and really doesn't care about how many thousand people might die if everything is lifted in one swoop with no thought of replacement restrictions in place. I hope the court tell the moron what to do with his law suit and fine him enough to convince the thick head that we need to consider people more than money. He obviously can't grasp what fills the news reports constantly.

Mikey is hoping we can start talking about Brexit again in place of the virus as he has had enough of this for now. I agree with him, I can't wait to see a report with lots of different stories that are not all linked by CV-19 in some way. I half wish the 'and finally...' news stories would come back, something light hearted in every bulletin would help raise spirits and moral as I feel we have had enough bad news for now.... Even if they just look quickly on line, finding cute animals is not difficult!

How Do I keep Going?

 This week I have totally reached the end of my very frayed tether. I am more exhausted than I have felt for months and I am also feeling isolated, un-needed and unwanted. |Mikey is settled at school, is doing well and making new friends and finding new interests. All I do it listen while he frantically searched for reasons for him feeling f=depressed. When he does come up with something you can guarantee that there is nothing I can do to cure or solve whatever he is worrying about. He also has new people he can talk to so I am certainly no longer needed. I've also had my latest lot of blood tests done. I can't remember my access thing for my results so I can't look at them. My memory is failing even more than usual and I hate this. I'm also in constant pain and I can't do anything that is part of my usual way of living. I really just want all this to end. I have no energy, I can't sleep and even cooking something simple leaves me feeling dead on my feet. All I

Worried

 We are now the day before Mikey starts at The North School....all they have done today is worry me even more that this is the wrong place for my son. I know all parents are protective - but he took so long to have and I really do not trust them to look after him properly. We have been provided a timetable which states that his first lesson is PE - Yr 7 parents have been told not to send PE Kit in tomorrow.... Also, he is in group 7x3....but the timetable has him in 7x2. If they can't send the right timetable how can I trust them to look after the most valuable thing I have? The chair of Governors has also sent a letter about the school joining the Swale Academies Trust. From what I have heard about this on local news I do not want my child at a school under their control. How can I get him out of there? Since I started writing this |I have e-mailed the Head asking why everything is so disorganised the day before they start and have said it will not help kids with autism as everyth

Lockdown, Day 90

Definitely thinking backwards today!! 10 years ago Andy had to take me to Hospital for monitoring as I couldn't feel the baby moving and a friend in Scotland (who was also pregnant) told me to get checked! I spent all of the Friday afternoon on a monitor and having blood samples taken. The original plan was for me to go in on Sunday for my induction so I was sent home as they were happy my bump was doing OK and there was nothing to worry about! That was my first experience that I remember of how tired hospital tests make me so I was not in a cooking mood! Dinner ended up being KFC and a tub of Ben & Jerries as I had decided that the bump couldn't put that much weight on in 2 days!  Just as I curled up with my tub the hospital called me and told me to go back the following morning as my blood tests had shown a problem. She did tell me what it was but I honestly can't recall what she said! The plan at that point was to do my induction as soon I arrived, so as I thought I
