I thought it was time to tell you what’s been going on & why I’ve not been posting. As you know a year ago I moved to Manchester and that blog will be coming in October! However following moving I struggled with not having my medical team around me with my depression kicking in I was very down. In February we took an amazing road trip from Manchester to Cannes, it was the best. I’ll do an in depth blog about that!
Then the Corona virus happened! I ended up firstly shielding for 3 months and not leaving the house, honestly I’ve still not been in a shop and it’s now September. But equally it meant I didn’t go home to see my family for 6 months it was hard I missed them so much. The depression kicked in harder than ever. My sleeping went crazy, I pulled away from people & social media my blog too. Then my physical health took a hit I couldn’t sit in my wheelchair any more, I had sciatica they think but my leg is still bad, new meds and lots of tears we are still trying to work it out.
The one unexpected thing to come out if all this is my weight & food. Lockdown I was 5 stone 12 now I’m 6 stone 4! I’ve started to feel hungry too, which is a battle in its self. I’ve tried 2 pieces of solid food I had pizza swirls but with just having tomato purée. I also had a jacket potato with butter. I’ll keep you updated on weight & food journey.
