Lockdown, Day 111

Back to some kind of normality today!! Poor Mikey has horrible toothache; it has had no effect on his desire to live on chocolate, but we have managed to get him an emergency appointment on Monday! He has promised me that he will be really brave, but I think the most they will do are X-rays as they are not allowed to do any treatment involving drilling etc at the moment.But in the meantime we are dosing him up on calpol and his X Box seems really good at distracting him from toothache!

Poor Andy has had a tough day...work is not letting up on him at all and his list of calls seems to be growing by the second. He did escape to work briefly today, Mikey and I got as far as the Co-op and I seemed to be the only person in there wearing a mask. I don't care - I just wanted to stay safe! Mikey didn't wear his - but trying to attach it to his ears is always fun!

I wish we could do something this weekend, just to get out of this house and Ashford...But I'm still shielding and trying to behave - even if nobody else is. My big problem at the moment is I have nothing planned to look forward to. It is tough to plan much as Big Brother could still not let me out! One good thing today was my HbA1c results. I'm now back to pre diabetes levels, so I must be doing something right! It was actually good knowing that I'm not sabotaging myself for once!! Also I'm not going to get nagged into having another test until January! But I still have Renal and anaemia tests in September...It would be so nice to not have any looming in my future, just for 6 months....

Today's issue is that my back is complete agony, the pain feels as though it is shooting up and down and I just want to stretch my back out, the way I feel at the moment I may have to resort to a dose of morphine before I try to go to bed.

Lockdown, Day 73

Image
The whole world appears to be going mad - and not over Covid 19 for once, but over the death of a man called George Floyd. Any death is one death to many, but the Americans do seem to be reacting and using this death as an excuse. The riots in various US cities are causing Millions of Dollars in damage (physical and mental) whilst the mobs, which seem to have a high number of white member scream for the blood of a policeman who probably felt he was working within the orders he has been given. Personally I feel they should be yelling at the Orange Idiot they elected 4 years ago. I vaguely remember his administration having a few black faces at the start, but recently it is decidedly WASP and black faces are totally out of sight. He has also threatened to send the army in to deal with the rioters...I am unable to remember any other US President using the military to quash a public uprising in the past. Is it wrong for me to hope that the people of the United States may remember all of th...

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 ...

When will all this end?

The UK appears to be in total meltdown abd I have had enough. Petrol is now been panic bought - at least it makes a change from toilet roll.  Mikey's school start was delayed until 10am this morning as Hythe Road was at a standstill = he missed PE but was playing benchball instead - but the advantage was he didn't have to get changed! By the end of today Stagecoach were not even trying to get near school - thankfully Andy got close and picked him up = the thought of Mikey finding the station and getting on the right bus is terrifying! He could have ended up anywhere!! While the general population are acting line brain dead zombies I am trying not to move too much as the infamous calcified blood clot (which doesn't cause any pain...) is absolutely killing me. I am seriously considering having a hot water bottle tonight in an attempt to ease the pain. I chickened out of my afternoon in the woods as I wasn't sure my back would hold out. I'm really not good with pain.
