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!!

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
