In these odd times I hope this note finds you well, in good spirits and coping with lockdown. As the Coronavirus continues to take lives the importance of following all applicable guidance should be obvious to most with at least half a head. For me the instructions are more restrictive, on two counts of having underlying health conditions (having blood cancer, and a stem cell transplant recently). I am classed as extremely vulnerable person and therefore need to take additional care, so in govt parlance we’re “shielding” - that is, the four of us now are isolating at home for 12 weeks.
So the point of this post? Well, just to say, we’re ok! The treatment plan is continuing well and the hair’s coming back in, although I’m still dogged by exhaustion, and bouts of fogginess. During lockdown there’s plenty to do, not least the task of home schooling which actually, mainly thanks to Eleanor, is going pretty well. Meanwhile, Netflix and the monumental prospect of new, wealthy ownership at St James’ Park is providing the entertainment. It helps having a garden to pop my head into when the cabin fever escalates; I really feel for those in similar circumstances but with no outdoor space. Or no internet. It’s little wonder people feel the need to make the most of their ventures into the lovely Springtime weather we’re having. With no end in sight to the lockdown measures it’s extra important that we all take time look after ourselves and each other. Stay safe x
