A Diary Of A Mesowarrior Living With #Mesothelioma #Asbestos — A Catch Up -Living in a different world

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good Morning. I have been a bit  lazy writing my blog but then I didnt think my life was very interesting in lock down. This staying in is very hard. The house gets cleaned I will rub the paint off of the doors and cupboards soon and we cant buy paint so I have to try and stop this feeling that everything has to be sanitized.

Its like you can see the virus dripping off of everything, infact that has been in my nightmares that I have. Dreaming, when asleep, has gone into overtime, its as if the brain just cant relax so by the time I get up Im worn out and tired again. We try hard not to drop off in the afternoon but power naps after lunch are hard to turn away from.

I have hunted out webinars and zoom meetings just to see there is an outside world. Not being able to see the family and give a hug or meet with friends is so hard. We can hear the traffic and see and hear trains running and yet my lovely car has to sit there. Ray does start her now and again and she roars to life just waiting to take us back into civilisation.

You wake up every day and just want this to be over and go back to normality, then you turn on the TV and there is Piers mouthing off about the Government and the Coronavirus. That is all we hear about now. Its all I want to know about as we need to know where we are with the fight against something we cant see and yet if it comes to this house we will not survive.

So many people dying, you just cant imagine its beyond working out the sadness and grief.

What I dont understand is the fact so many feel it wont happen to them and they are carrying on as normal and coming to our seaside towns maybe bringing the virus to us. Kent has the highest figures outside of London and yet you cant hold people locked up as humans are a social species. The roads this weekend have got very busy so people are making their own rules and are now champing at the bit to get back to normal life again.

Im actually looking forward to my Scan on the 11th May as we are officially allowed to travel so we can see the outside world.

So The garden is tidy and growing normally. The bulbs have flowered for spring so we are fooled that life is the same. It will never be the same again and I hope the world will be a better place. That we have learnt a huge lesson. Dont take anything for granted again. people have shown their wartime spirit and we will get through this.

I have been getting my London fill through the eyes of a wonderful photographer Damien Hewetson . A young man that works in London has been keeping us happy on Face Book

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have never seen London like this as even late at night the traffic is heaving and packed with people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My own son has had to go to London to work and has be trying to tell me how empty London was as he went around servicing fire alarm equipment to keep these empty buildings safe, but until you actually see it with your own eyes it is hard to imagine all the empty roads and bridges as the shops and business’s are abandoned.

Mesowarriors are coping really well and we have helped each other on Face Book to get through. The biggest worry has been getting shopping. We cant go out but trying to get a slot for home delivery has been so hard. I was OK at the beginning as I had a shop booked for 3 weeks ahead so I kept going in and changing that order as gradually more and more things came out out of stock. Since then I have had to turn on each day at different times and hope to find a slot. The shop I had coming today was easier and I had a choice of days and times. Many Mesowarriors have not had it so easy especially those on their own. There is a government survey that you fill up and then then they are aware where the most vulnerable are.  https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus-extremely-vulnerable?fbclid=IwAR1EUnrP59HJykVYnsJ5wa4h4rB-yV5HWGxMqWq1ui7DzYDXx6sdLh1LZqQ

The saddest thing has been the loss of Mesowarriors and the family and carers have not been allowed to visit and be with their loved ones. That is the cruelest thing imaginable, my heart goes out to all of them.

Then of coarse funerals have been even sadder. Some have been videoed which helped but not the same of coarse. Hugs to all of you that have gone through such a sad time made even sadder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So we move on and see where all this is leading and pray it leaves us time to be free again.

New life does give us hope and with our own PM a new father we congratulate the happy couple as they have been through so much and we nearly lost Boris.

 

 

 

 

 

Such good news and he looks so healthy after both parents have been through the virus  — Carrie Symonds and Boris Johnson have named their baby son Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson – with the name Nicholas chosen in a nod to the two doctors who saved the prime minister’s life. https://news.sky.com/story/carrie-symonds-and-boris-johnson-announce-name-of-baby-son-11982208?fbclid=IwAR0RDkWDHtILGCSUY0WNcCA9p-IyPdR8kz9l3YThl3R67WH_KJ46Gn8OCxY

So everyone Stay In -Stay Safe – and help the NHS
