Weekend...

 I was hoping to have a quiet, relaxing weekend as I was feeling so drained etc.

Saturday started off well! Nice weather, an easy drive to Capel and parked at the Battle of Britain Memorial for our Kents Biggest Weekend visit! We started off outside as we needed to wait to go into Scramble. The memorial itself is very moving, while we were there we had a fly by from a plane in D-Day Livery and also an appearance by the Good Year Blimp. Once we went back inside we headed into the Scramble display - watching Mikey trying to use a phone with a dial was hilarious, I had completely forgotten that phones like those have not been around in his lifetime. Seeing him stabbing his finger into the holes to press the number was funny. I eventually gave in when he started trying to instruct the phone and suggested putting his finger in a hole and moving the dial around!  I forgot to tell him to let go of it and he was not impressed at the way his mother collapsed on a chair with the giggles!!

Mikey and Andy both had a go on a Hurricane Simulator - Mikey shot everything in sight, managed to down 6 Nazi planes but did spend most of his time upside down...Andy claimed 10 kills but made no comment about his orientation!!

The main point of yesterday was to make more memories of family time together - so Mikey chose our lunch destination - the Services on the M20 so he could go to KFC! Thankfully they also have a subway so Andy and I opted for that! We sorted his highness out first and then joined a short queue at possible the slowest Subway ever - one member of staff seemed determined to make every Sub a masterpiece with the placement of tomato, peppers and cucumber etc Nothing was going to make him rush each art piece!!

Once we got home I rustled up a carbonara bake for dinner and even ate some! But I did manage to lose it later. I should have paid attention to the warning...

Mikey appeared this morning with a very red back where he had been scratching. I asked him to bring his Sudocrem so I could treat his back, but he never appeared back. Once Andy and I were up he did eventually appear downstairs so I started on his back - he suddenly said he felt dizzy and before I could do or say anything he collapse forward and ended up bouncing his head on the floor. I yelled at Andy to pick him up and called 999. The handler asked copious questions and determined he wasn't unconsconcious or bleeding and wasn't an emergency. I have been instructed to contact his GP tomorrow!! Not sure how well that will go down as I have already reported them to the CQC...

For the rest of today he has been pretty subdued and quiet. if he gets too quiet I nip up to his room just to check he hasn't passed out. The original plan was that he is back at school tomorrow, but we may then have to pull him out if we actually manage to get a Dr to see him. I'm not holding my breath, but I want my normal, loud Mikey back as soon as possible.

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.
