Lockdown 3; Day 28

 Feeling really rough today. My arm hurts loads and I'm dizzy; sleeping was a whole different problem, sleeping on my left arm is impossible but that didn't stop me trying! I spent most of the night alternating between too hot and freezing and wanting to sleep on the opposite side to that which was possible! It was a very long night...

Right now I'm OK until I try to use it! I am so relieved I didn't have it in my right arm!! I can take things easy today as I'm not having my PCR test until tomorrow...they are now worried about the South African version of the virus down here so are testing 80,000 people to try to track it and stop it as soon as they can. For once I am still doing as I'm being told to  -  This never happens so I am recording it for posterity!!

We took Mikey's remote controls away last night, as well as his phone. So he just came downstairs to watch TV. He helped himself to apple juice but left the glass out and all the lights on!   I am slightly at a loss as to how to stop him, plus he fell asleep during his maths zoom lesson this morning as he was so tired. He is currently fast asleep upstairs catching up on the sleep he didn't have over night. I am very aware that all he is doing is copying me, but I hate not sleeping and I do not want him to get used to it. Maybe we need a big cot again that he can't get out of? At the age he is, that is basically a jail cell.

I've had my first lot of paracetamol today and would prefer something stronger if I'm honest; everything aches and hurts. Please, can anyone else working on a vaccine try to remove the side effects...

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
