I didn’t write an update yesterday, and today’s is going to be very short. Yesterday my symptoms came back with a vengeance. I went to work but did not last long. I felt a little off first thing but thought it was just morning grogginess. After a couple of hours I was quite breathless, hadContinue reading “22/04/20 Back to square one”

20/04/2020 Today was a good day.
I have had symptoms now for nearly a month. Today I barely noticed them. I had a headache, and was breathless from time to time, but I was so busy doing what I love that they paled into insignificance. Today we went out to talk to staff and give them hand cream, lip balm, andContinue reading “20/04/2020 Today was a good day.”
19/04/2020 26 days since my symptoms began
Today I had planned to be running in the Hull 10K, along with thousands of other people. Instead I have cut the grass. I think I was probably as knackered after cutting the grass as I would have been had I run the 10K. Yesterday I felt nearly normal, well today I cannot say that,Continue reading “19/04/2020 26 days since my symptoms began”
18/04/2020 I have done absolutely nothing today.
I woke up this morning at my usual weekend time of 7 am, and I felt quite well. I had no headache, no pain in my chest, no cough, and no breathlessness. Now I have been here before so I did not want to count my chickens. But it was quite a welcome relief, IContinue reading “18/04/2020 I have done absolutely nothing today.”
17/04/2020 Just in case you were wondering it’s Friday
I missed yesterday, I was too tired and too fed up. Today is a better day. I have been at work on both days, and both days were spent in the staff drop-ins. Yesterday I felt quite ill. There were times yesterday when I felt really ill and other moments when I felt quite positive.Continue reading “17/04/2020 Just in case you were wondering it’s Friday”
15/04/2020 I feel like the new boy
I have been into work today, my second attempt at returning to work. I was really nervous last night as I was last week. I feel like the new boy. So much as changed in the 3 weeks I have been off. It has been 4 weeks since I did my proper job. Just beforeContinue reading “15/04/2020 I feel like the new boy”
14/04/2020 Back at work
I went back to work today, albeit baby steps and working from home. Although I have had plenty to do work on much of the staff support we are offering at the hospital. It was a little daunting at first as I had a faltering start last week. Obviously it was fine, and it wasContinue reading “14/04/2020 Back at work”
13/04/2020 20 days since my symptoms began
Nearly 3 weeks in and I am still experiencing symptoms, albeit a lot less. I must say I am getting a little fed with it. I am still getting breathless going for walks, and still getting headaches. Don’t get me wrong I feel so much better than I did, and when I hear stories ofContinue reading “13/04/2020 20 days since my symptoms began”
12/04/2020 Happy Easter
I have always loved Easter, it has always felt optimistic to me. There is always the promise of warmer days ahead. Cherry blossom is in full bloom, there air smells fragrant with the scent of flowers, the sun feels warm on the skin and there is lots of chocolate. I woke this morning about 6Continue reading “12/04/2020 Happy Easter”
