Lockdown, Day 123

Still feeling like death warmed up and have no appetite - today I have eaten 1 pot of muller light yoghurt at a whole 90 calories...The thought of eating anything makes me throw up in my mouth so I've mainly just made sure I'm drinking loads to keep hydrated. I'm also constantly dizzy and life seems to be spinning around my head at the moment, standing up is the most excitement I can deal with for now!

It has been really scary over the last few days - I've started looking at schools for Mikey from September 2021. My baby is going into his last year of primary. Thinking of the cheeky chappy who started his school journey in September 2014 doesn't feel long ago enough to be thinking about senior school for him. I think I've got it narrowed down to 2 - both have a small intake so places are going to be under pressure. I really do not want him in one of the Ashford schools as they are simply too big and he would never cope and I do not want him chewed up by some of the yobs I've seen in the uniforms for them. I know he isn't tough and to be honest I don't want him to become them. I like my sensitive child and will do whatever I need to in order to protect him.

Mikey recently decided that he wanted to do the Kent Test. This is usually held in September but has been moved to October this year due to all the chaos. But we missed the closing date and even though the test has moved the closing date has not. I have had a row with KCC about this but Nick has an old test which we feel will put him off trying to do it anyway!

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
