Lockdown 3; Day 38

Well we have made it to half term....Mikey has won a gold card and his first house point badge (he has been a house point machine recently) and seemed to enjoy his las zoom of this term this afternoon! The class were asked to create their dream house a la Grand Designs! There are quite3 a collection of weird designs and only 7 of the class actually turned up - but they had a fantastic time with loads of giggles and light hearted teasing! Apparently it is like this in class and I think Mrs Pemberton really enjoyed it as well! To be honest it was a pleasure to listen in as they all had such a wonderful time :)

I am seriously considering e-mailing school to congratulate them as it was a wonderful closure for this term  which has not exactly been the easiest as my son does not equate home with school work.

Yesterday evening included a rather surreal conversation with Mikey... I was telling him that I will be going into hospital so Urology can laser out my kidney stones; this was met by a decidedly odd look and the question 'Why are you eating stones?' At this point we tried to explain that they are actually made from calcium, which the yogurts he is addicted to are filled with...this was met by 'But you don't eat yogurts' so I now think he still thinks I'm eating handfulls of shingle when nobody is watching me!

One thing I am finding tough is that I have to go back to Canterbury for this op...my memories of this hospital are not great and the thought of them knocking me out again really does scare me. I just hope I can request that they do not use Propofol. When I had to 2008 stones lasered they didn't use it but I still didn't want to wake up - add in my wonderful ability not to sleep most nights I see no reason for me to be any more likely to want to wake up this time!! I know they are also worried about my iron levels so it is very possible that |I will have to have another infusion...again the first one of those made me feel really ill. I think I'm used to operating without enough of the stuff so getting my up to a 'normal' level makes me ill!! What is more scary is the fact I can't have anyone with me...But I still have no clue when it might happen yet...



I have made my own version of this paining in 5D Diamonds...not that I'm proud of it of anything!!

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
