Lockdown, Day 45

Feeling very proud of myself today...I drove Mikey and me to the hospital for some blood tests for the Renal and Anaemia teams. Getting there was pretty easy, a few families around with Mikey commenting on every single group he saw! He did bet worried about the For Sale sign near the park, but calmed down when I said it was most probably for a house down the road, not the park itself!! Parking at the Hospital was easy, except for getting ropund a large transit type van which vas abandoned, sticking out near the the test tents, but I coped...(which has added to my pride in myself!!

We walked straight in to the blood testing area, the chairs were well spread out but it was empty! The ticket board showed 32 and the ticket I collected was 33! Once the Vampires realised they had a victim I was called in and Mikey investigated the water dispenser and, once the nurse convinced him he was safer outside parked himself on a chair to wait! For once me veins behaves and 2 vials were quickly filled and once the vampire was convinced the forms were not fake, sent off for processing!! She was a tad concerned that from my Date of Birth I should be 49 and my forms said I was 48. Simple explanation to be honest - I have not yet had a birthday yet so she agreed the blood could be sent off!!

The whole morning left me with a proud Mum feeling as Mikey was really good, he happily sanitised his hands as we went through the main entrance and again when we got to Endoscopy as I needed to collect my instructions and laxatives ready for my procedure next week. He got his reward with a quick stop at the Co-op and collcted a large armful of sugar which Mum was expected to buy for him! It would have been far cheaper in the Friends shop, but they are not yet open so he got to con Mum yet again!

This evening Andy is happy as Gah Wah Chinese Takeaway has reopen, it is safe to say he has missed then more than his freedom! But as I only had to cook Mikey's food, I'm not going to complain!!

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
