Connected Living Webinar
I will be holding a series of 3 short webinars entitled Connected Living. The webinars are in response to us coming out of the first wave of this pandemic, and how we adjust to a different world. Many of us will have very different lives for a multitude of reasons. For that reason it isContinue reading “Connected Living Webinar”
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”
Feeling battered and bruised
Today is day 9 of my quarantine, and I am feeling better, my cough was less aggressive overnight. I now feel battered and bruised, I feel breathless and my chest really hurts this morning. It is as if I have been kicked in the chest. I can take paracetamol for the pain and I canContinue reading “Feeling battered and bruised”
01/04/2020 My faith in humanity is confirmed
What a truly lovely bunch of people we all are. Over the past week I have witnessed how kind and compassionate people are.

All of them wishing me well and showing genuine concern for me.Continue reading “01/04/2020 My faith in humanity is confirmed”
28/03/20 Boris, Disney, and coughing
Well it turns out I have something in common with Boris. Get well soon Boris and Matt. This disease does feel like a juggernaut relentlessly rumbling around the world in an unstoppable wave of destruction. The only way to beat this is to stay inside as much as you can. Reducing contact reduces the abilityContinue reading “28/03/20 Boris, Disney, and coughing”
27/03/2020 Sunshine, applause, and gratitude
Wasn’t that emotional last night? I stood on the back step as Lisa and the boys were at the front door and I didn’t want to get too close. For those of you that know me you wont be surprised that I shed a tear. In October last year I gave up my Nursing registrationContinue reading “27/03/2020 Sunshine, applause, and gratitude”
26/03/20 Day 2 of quarantine and appreciating all the compassion there is around us
Only the dog was willing to be in the photograph. Yesterday I started with a persistent cough. That persistent cough has now changed into waves of coughing fits and spikes in temperature. So I fluctuate from feeling OK to feeling really unwell, which is irritating to say the least. My chest is killing me dueContinue reading “26/03/20 Day 2 of quarantine and appreciating all the compassion there is around us”
24/03/2020 Stay at home, save a life.
I missed yesterday, I worked a 12 hour shift and just was too tired to write anything when I got in, plus Boris was on the telly when I got in. Boy a lot has happened since I last wrote an entry. On Sunday after I had finished my entry we raced across to ManchesterContinue reading “24/03/2020 Stay at home, save a life.”
