Still Feeling Totally Yuck

 My cough has not really improved much...But as I keep reminding Andy, sitting on a plane to Orlando usually sorts it out...!!

Mikey is now at home with an inner ear infection - hopefully I will be forgiven for applying pressure in various points under instruction from the nurse practitioner as she could hear the yelps of pain!! He has antibiotics prescribed which we can pick up later. Having suffered really badly with ear infections growing up I can totally empathise and hope it passes soon so I can get some sleep!!

Other health news - I have managed to book my 2nd jab!!! It will be tomorrow and means that aoon I will have as much protection as possible!! Makes me feel a whole lot happier and hopefully I will be less worried going out anywhere... Although I'm still not keen on being around too many people.

Personally I am still feeling sick about 90% of the time and I have found that Sainsbury's Butter Mintoes help with the foul taste in my mouth and settling my stomach! Most other foods are totally tasteless and this makes eating so much harder as it all tastes of nothing. Cooking can also be a challenge as I can't taste as I cook so the chances are it is all unbalanced. I can only think Andy isn't tasting anything I feed him as I'm pretty sure I added far to much garlic pepper earlier this week!

Lockdown, Day 73

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.
