Lockdown, Day 88

Another night on the sofa, Andy looked quite comfortable in bed when I got up at 2.30! I'm not even sure he noticed I had gone!

I was very good and stuck to my fast with no sneaky mid-night feasts and I only drank water!! So why don't I feel smug and self satisfied??

It has been a fairly quiet day, not sunny but very overcast and humid which is not helping me stay awake if I'm honest! I'm really hopeful I will pass out nicely tonight and get a full nights sleep for the first time since my afternoon with Fentanyl! Even morphine failed last night, but I@m blaming Andy's bright idea of mixing it with night time Rescue Remedy which has a base of glycerine so is amazingly sweet and acted as a wake up call rather than a knock out!

Tomorrow is counselling again (note to self - do the measures) and Andy and Mikey have a session with Becky; I get an afternoon off!!!!!! Time to party, or maybe sleep! I really am getting old.

I have rediscovered Mah Jong recently - I'm now on level 315. But I need new glasses, when I get tired I can't always tell the difference between some of the tiles; that makes matching them up challenging to say the least! I've also been dropping subtle hints about the mask/headphones to sleep in as then my choice in music will not keep Andy awake - plus I can wear a cool mask as well when my eyes get as dry and sore as they are at the current time. I would love to wake up with cool and refreshed eyes for once and not have to chisel my eyes open....
Coming up to Father's Day, I'm really missing my Dad. There is so much I need to talk to him about and I really have no idea who to turn to now he has gone,,,

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
