For days of auld lang syne

1 minute read time.

I never thought my new year goal would be to stay alive. By the 3rd of January I’ve usually broken a diet or not started exercising so at least this year I’m winning at it so far!

I’ve had the most amazing Christmas and New Year with family, but I can’t even describe how tired I am. I defiantly didn’t listen to my body this last week when I should have rested. I now have fatigue overload so booked next week off work to recover from the holidays. I look tired today, so I’ve done nothing but lie on the settee and snooze.

I feel like I never need a full review of my care plan until a bank holiday hits. I had a full body and head CT scan on Tuesday which should have been reviewed at the MDT meeting today, but of course it is another bank holiday, so I have another week to wait. I’m not too anxious to wait this time as I was pretty much told the outcome at my last meeting. Let’s just pray the little beggar hasn’t found its way to any other places and we should be on the same plan as now.

I’m literally down to one friend who doesn’t have Covid this week so it’s going to be a quiet one for the two of us while no one else can go out. 2 weeks ago, I received a PCR test from the NHS so I can test at home and if I test positive, I can get a treatment straight way. I also had a letter last week to say I’m due my 4th vaccine. I wonder if this is going to happen every 3 months now. I’d choose another vaccine over Covid any day mind. I couldn’t bare not being able to see anyone for 10 days. Absolute fear of missing out.

I need to now find the mental and physical strength to take down the Christmas decorations. Someone pass me a wine.

    Great to hear that you had an excellent Christmas - to quote Kylie Minogue in a twee manner - 'when I go out I want to go out dancing' ....and having made it to 2022 long may we all continue to dance on. I had my 4th covid jab on 31st December and apart from slightly sore arm zero side effects, so fingers crossed yours will go smoothly, I was in and out of centre in about 10 minutes which was great. 12th night not till Wednesday, so we have until sundown on Wednesday for the Christmas decorations, and I'm going to allow my tree/ decorations to twinkle on till the last minute, and suggest an afternoon of Netflix as some good stuff on at the moment. Happy New Year and good luck next week, Nmbn.

  • So glad to hear you are still living life to the hilt. I was a bit sad after your last Blog.

    I read your post and took your advice and this is exactly what I did lol. I caught up on telly and stayed under the blanket on the settee. The decorations are down now (eventually) and normality has resumed. 

    I'm glad you were ok after your jab. I think mine is due on the 17th but no one has been in touch. Someone rang me about my last one. Did you go through your GP?

    ah thank you! I hope you had an amazing Christmas and new year. We have to take the good with the bad and make the most of the days we can feel 'normal' right Raised hands
