Things have been so busy here

I haven't written much of late

Don's been typing on and on

And I've just had to wait

We're both in isolation

No one must come near

It's going to get quite lonely

For quite a while I fear

But Don's got lots to interest him

With lots of books to read

We both have of food and other stuff

And most things that we need

And as for entertainment

He has his games like bowls

And if he's stuck inside the house

He can count his toilet rolls

Scruff's just sleeps the days away in between her treats

Me i'm diving for cover underneath the sheets

I tried to give some guidance on the dodgy site

But some folks just got upset and very much uptight. :( x

If I didn't know better I would say Midge and I had sleeping sickness. We both seem to have trouble keeping awake. ๐Ÿ˜ดx

Hi,Skis,I did appreciate your advice.i got my text yesterday and a letter this morning.

Iโ€™m pretty fed up about being vulnerable. Up to 3 years ago,I just had asthma. NowI have NSIP lungs,lupus, RA Sjogrens.

Iโ€™m always on prophylactic antibiotics,but the last week has been horrid.

I had pleurisy symptoms,started my rescue pack.

Telephone consultation.

Thursday ,getting worse, another telephone consultation.

Saturday afternoon increasingly breathless,increasing pain.

Went through 111wwbsite,booked an appointment to speak to Nurse or doctor. any one really.

They rang at midnight,recited history,she said I needed to to A N E.I was appalled,apart from everything else am ,Immunsupressed.

Ambulance crew were very helpful,they gave me a mask to wear inA N E.

They went in to A N Eto discuss me.

Cutting a long story short,bloods showed bacterial lung infection,2 more antibiotics,continuing steroids,will I ever get off them? It feels like the DFS. sale.

A bonus was that as I was respiratory and someone said I. Coughed in the morning ( nebuliser/. Chest clearance .)

They put me in a quiet room on my own,which was good.

They were really good.

Am sorry this has grown to encyclopaedic levels,apologies for feeling sorry for myself.

Perhaps. Iโ€™ll have a little wallow,then pick myself up and go for a walk. Take care of yourself and the Scruffster

Just the sort of poem needed as the news gets grimmer. Thanks Don.

It is a strange, anxious time for us all. So glad you felt able to write something honest, yet numerous to keep us all going.

Keep those spirits up. Chrys x

A slightly pensive expression, from those lively eyebrows. I amused having had the formal confirmation from the NHS that I am vulnerable, I feel I should get a badge, like the gold star at school.

โ€ข in reply toSORRELHIPPO

I've had nothing from the government, no text, letter, benefits. Nowt! No doubt I'm known as that independent grumpy old bugger who writes those daft rhymes. But I'm happy and Sainsburys are my friends. ๐Ÿคฃ
