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.

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
