Hospital Visit

Going to the hospital during this time is (to state the obvious) not a fun experience.

Yesterday I stepped outside into my garden to get my rabbits in from their hutch. I miss my stepping and went over on my ankle.

This isn’t the first time I have done this and my medical records say that I have a weakness in my ankles. Anyway, that’s not the point of this post.

I want to thank all NHS staff and key workers. The doctors I worked with yesterday were very nice and had an ongoing conversation with me about the current situation.

She pointed out that it’s great that supermarkets are opening for an hour for the elderly and NHS staff but what happens when she’s on shift? She can’t get the necessarily she’s needs because she’s working at the times that are allocated for her to go to the shops.

She also said that people are using the early opening times of supermarkets to their advantage. If you are one of these people PLEASE STOP. It’s not right. this hour is allowed so that those who need it can get the right things that they need. You rushing in to the shops just because they are open is not helping anyone. Not even yourself.

Again, thank you for the work everyone is doing. This time will pass so long as people work together ❤

Food

My mum just asked me what I want for dinner, I’m going to have a burger and chips or something but I’m not exactly hungry. Usually by this time I want food but, I don’t right now. Maybe I’m worried? About this uncertainty of the coronavirus. I don’t know. But what I do know is that I need I need some kind of clarification. This hurts. Like there’s a pain in my chest that won’t go away and I don’t know why

Friday 20th March

So yesterday I started getting everything ready for virtual school which is starting as of Monday. Honestly I have no idea what we would do without the internet. There would be no way my school would be able to cope; my head teacher said it herself

I also wrote a couple of letters. One to my nan who lives 200 miles away. We’re very close – she means the world to me. She’s one of the few people in the world that I trust. I told her what kind of things I’ve been doing, What I’m looking forward to. That kind of thing. I haven’t seen her in a while.

I got my rabbits out and sort of just laid on the floor with them. They’re very cute. I’ll attach a picture of one of them below.

Basically I’m just trying to make the most of things. I’m trying to see the good in things I can do. I’m not sure how much I am succeeding, but we could be at this a while.

Borris Johnson announced that all pubs, cinemas, leisure centres, and things like that should be closing and people should be distancing themselves as much as possible from other families.

My older brother has a girlfriend who he is literally obsessed with. They could be joined at the hip they’re so close. My parents have had a number of battles with him about the fact that he’s not allowed to see her face to face until this dies down. He keeps saying that they won’t do so much as kiss but you never know with teenagers. My brother isn’t very popular at the moment – let’s just say that.

Thursday 19 March

Today was definitely going to be uncertain for everyone around. As a secondary school student I found it difficult to accept the fact that today probably would have been the last day I could spend with my friends in person. We took a number of photos together, reminiscing other times that we’ve had and trying to recreate photos from a while back. There were lots of tears all round and everyone found it quite hard to accept.

Our head announced in an assembly that we wouldn’t be coming in tomorrow. We were told to clear out our lockers and try to embrace the hours we had with our friends until we had to socially distance. We played bench ball in the sports hall and listened to music (songs chosen by me – injury) and everyone had a blast.

We will all look back on this day and smile. It was a good day. Despite what is going on at the moment.

When I got home, I face-timed some friends and we agreed to try to face time as much as possible.
