Lockdown 3; Day 27

 Well I've been to the Kent Cricket Ground in Canterbury this morning and I have been injected with my first covid vaccination!! I was given the Pfizer version and should have my second dose in around 12 weeks. The injection itself was totally pain free but my arm now feels sort of dead and achy!! It is a very strange feeling and my head is thudding - I also feel decidedly sick but for me that is pretty normal! I did check that it is OK to still have my EPO injection tomorrow and was assured that it is fine!

Mikey is really enjoying that I've been stabbed. We didn't make it back in time for his lesson at 11.00 as a woman in a BMW X1 seemed to have a complete inability to go over 30 mph all the way back to the M20.  I can only assume she doesn't use her rear view mirror and had no comprehension of the queue of traffic behind her! There were not that many opportunities to overtake on a rather twisty B road so we pretty much had to stay put.

Andy did make me a mug of tea when we got home, I did manage a couple of plain digestives but now I'm feeling even more dizzy and sick. I had considered retiring to bed - but Mikey is busy being as noisy as possible up there so it is actually quieter down here with Andy talking to himself and his laptop!

The organisation this morning was very impressive! I was just proud of myself that I made it up and down the stairs without collapsing in a heap! I made it in earlier than my appointment time and was stabbed and out by 10.20, Andy had convinced the parking marshals that he couldn't go away and come back again so has stuck himself near the entrance/exit. That meant I could find him without him having to make another circuit to pick me up! Somehow I think I will not bother with lunch etc today, it is OK going in but I really do not enjoy it coming out!

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
