Hi everyone, with the threat of cvd 19, I was thinking of maybe writing letters to my husband, kids, mum and sister. I just keep thinking that if I did catch the virus and I hope I'm doing everything possible not to including sticking to the 12 week isolation, sleeping separately from my husband and keeping distance between myself and family. I just thought that you end up whisked away to hospital and that's it, no contact.. Am I being silly or paranoid, I'd just like them all to know how much they mean to me. I hate feeling like this, as if I'm a defetest, I'm usually such a positive person with a good out look on life, at the moment I feel I'm being robbed of what life I have left, I want to be out having fun, making memories for my family and I'm angry that I can't.. I'm not an angry person either, this virus is effecting me more than the cancer. Sorry to bumble on so much, x
Hi ,
Letter writing does sound like a wonderful idea and much is lost nowadays in our world of instant communication where we neglect the simple idea of a piece of well considered and polished prose. With technology of course many of us are managing to maintain some sort of social contact even when we cannot visit in person and the massive upsurge in video conferencing and video calling may well change the way we work and could actually in a strange way help to bring us together as never before.
In terms of our current level of isolation you are certainly not alone, in a way it is almost a kind of social imprisonment and it is very easy to go "stir crazy". I am "lucky" in being a computer analyst and so am reasonably set up for working from home anyway but just at the moment we are having so many video conference staff meetings to keep up with the current conditions it does not leave that much time to do the work. Having a 16 year old son at home is not entirely helpful either.
<<hugs>>
