Life After Lockdown Linky

1) How are you feeling/coping?

As you may remember me saying, I had my biopsies on Thursday evening 4 biopsies and stitches later and still very sore and painful, and finding I have to keep standing up as it hurts too much to sit down.

Poor C is struggling again with her abdominal pains and a sickness feeling, she is describing it as wanting to be sick but cant and knives stabbing her.  We had a few GP appointments (over the phone last week) which were useless.  Rang 111 on Saturday after her saying she had chest pains as well.  We thought it might be the virus she had that hospitalised her last year.  A day sat in A&E where she had an ECG and various tests, we were sent home and told to speak to our GP to arrange a referral.  Yesterday morning I got an appointment with one of our regular GP’s who cancelled the call and did a video consultation instead.  She was very thorough in her questioning and prescribed a few new medications and putting the referral through.

This time last week I was so unprepared for Christmas, as I was not doing much over the weekend I have now sorted Christmas, now just need to do all the wrapping.

2) What have you been up to over the past 7 days? Are you living life as normal, being cautious or still being very careful?

Apart from the above, not a lot just taking it easy and working of course

3) What’s a helpful tip you would like the future to know about living in / or after a pandemic?

We are all in this together, as my parents used to say treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.  So be respectful of distance and rules

4) What tips do you have for others when out and about?

Again be respectful of others wear your mask and use hand sanitiser

5) What is your favourite post of the past 7 days (it could be yours or someone else’s)?

I have been on another planet most of the time, I promise I will share at some stage

6) What have you been grateful for over the past 7 days?

My friends and family

7) What has made you smile this week?

My dogs, they have been of fine form of just being so funny

8) Anything else you would like to mention?

I was disgusted while sitting in A&E at the way another patient spoke to staff in the hospital.  Both myself and C looked at each other in disbelief, we have not experienced discrimination before and hope to never again.  Be kind and respectful to each other, these Drs and Nurses are doing an amazing job and are not there to be treated like this.
