Boy Flu...

I have no clue what time Andy came up to bed last night - I had been threatening to smother him the night before after all snoring! I did get lots of dozes last night, but deep, relaxing restful sleep was definitely missing and I have had the usual waking up feeling as tired as when I went to bed last night. I have completely had enough now...I managed to rustle up spaghetti bolognese last night but I nearly collapsed while I did it. The dizzy spells are getting worse and worse and my blood pressure is still coming up as at least hypertension stage 1 requiring medication everytime I take it - but when I call my GP and eventually speak to a Dr I am just told that they don't want to mess around with my current medication. I still can't get hold of my nephrologist and I feel that I am just an annoyance to everyone. But I really cannot carry on feeling like this - I could just sleep all day; but that us not fair on Andy and Mikey. I would love to just get out with Mikey next week as the weather appears to be improving, but driving scares me as the dizzy spells hit with no warning. 

I still think Andy should jsut trade me in for a new version...it would provide better care for both him and Mikey and his family would be thrilled that I have finally gone. So one change - everyone would be happy and better off. If the highways Agency hadn't put barriers around all bridge supports on the M20 I would have solved all this back in 2016. And that way I would still be able to see/talk to my Dad.

Mikey has jsut informed us that he is off outside, but this time he has his watch on at least! But having suggested he wear a jumper  has resulted in him leaving at high speed, minus any outer clothing! One day my child may actually listen to advice that people try to give him....but not yet!! Apparently 10 year old boys do not have to listen to any advice as he already knows all information he needs at this time! I am also too old to know anything he might need....

I have also created a whole new symptom for boy/man flu! I currently resemble a Red nosed Reindeer snot fountain! Impressive, although Andy is not impressed at the number of tissues I am getting through!!

Lockdown, Day 73

Image
The whole world appears to be going mad - and not over Covid 19 for once, but over the death of a man called George Floyd. Any death is one death to many, but the Americans do seem to be reacting and using this death as an excuse. The riots in various US cities are causing Millions of Dollars in damage (physical and mental) whilst the mobs, which seem to have a high number of white member scream for the blood of a policeman who probably felt he was working within the orders he has been given. Personally I feel they should be yelling at the Orange Idiot they elected 4 years ago. I vaguely remember his administration having a few black faces at the start, but recently it is decidedly WASP and black faces are totally out of sight. He has also threatened to send the army in to deal with the rioters...I am unable to remember any other US President using the military to quash a public uprising in the past. Is it wrong for me to hope that the people of the United States may remember all of th...

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 ...

When will all this end?

The UK appears to be in total meltdown abd I have had enough. Petrol is now been panic bought - at least it makes a change from toilet roll.  Mikey's school start was delayed until 10am this morning as Hythe Road was at a standstill = he missed PE but was playing benchball instead - but the advantage was he didn't have to get changed! By the end of today Stagecoach were not even trying to get near school - thankfully Andy got close and picked him up = the thought of Mikey finding the station and getting on the right bus is terrifying! He could have ended up anywhere!! While the general population are acting line brain dead zombies I am trying not to move too much as the infamous calcified blood clot (which doesn't cause any pain...) is absolutely killing me. I am seriously considering having a hot water bottle tonight in an attempt to ease the pain. I chickened out of my afternoon in the woods as I wasn't sure my back would hold out. I'm really not good with pain.
