Just wondering how most people in our situation (albeit all slightly different) are feeling about freedom day?
I feel my girls who’ve been incredibly supportive throughout this are now feeling that I’m being a little neurotic about it all and just need to take precautions and get on with life.
the thing that worried me a lot is seeing them and my granddaughters and the girls are all working and their husbands too, one who’s a fireman and sleeps with several others on night duty for example.
maybe I am being neurotic. I just feel more vulnerable than I have for a while and is it that with a lung condition we are that much more vulnerable? So many questions
I think you are wise to be cautious Nel. I have heard today of 2 people I know that have tested positive with covid, and numerous others that are isolating after coming into contact with someone who has it.
The vulnerable like us are still being urged to be careful, not to mix in large groups etc. You have to do what you are comfortable with.
I am still seeing family, but only outside, still not hugging ( I don’t have grandchildren though, I don’t think I could not hug my grandchild if I had one)
You mean Lolie
No I’ve not heard from her for a while. There are a few that have gone quiet. I think the combination of the site changes, us losing Gina, and the impact of Covid that has effected people. Every now and again someone re appears, like Maggie who just comes along once and a while to say hello, then she’s gone again.
Hi Lollie
so good to hear from you and that generally news is good.
as you no doubt hear we no longer have lockdown but nobody is sure about the wisdom of that. Time will tell but must say the strategy does leave us vulnerable people a lot concerned and nervous. Certainly doesn’t feel like ‘freedom’ as they’re calling it.
im still making little cardigans for baby granddaughter who will be 12 months at end of this month! At one point I feared I wouldn’t be here to see her born. So grateful for medical advancements. I always said 12 months was as big as I would knit and I’m knitted out just about. I’ve decided to try crochet and with the help of ‘you tube’ am making a blanket.
I miss cuddling my two older granddaughters but have to be very careful as children are super spreaders here 
hooe your scan shows scar tissue however it will be managed whatever is the case.
lovely to hear from you.
Hi Lolie, it is lovely to hear from you, but fully understand why you felt a need to take a break. It does get to us all from time to time, and a break is sometimes needed.
That is very good news to hear that you are still in remission. I will keep my fingers crossed for you, that it is scar tissue that is showing on the lung.
You have every right to feel grumpy because of the test. I am grumpy because of the heat at the moment. We are just not used to it here in the UK so when it hits it is a shock to the system.
I think we will be in lockdown again soon. The cases I am hearing daily of people I know who have Covid is worrying. Far more than I have known about during this whole 18 months of this pandemic. It is very concerning.
Please let us know how you get on next week, and good luck with the PFT this afternoon. x
Hi, I think we all need to be very careful and continue with masks and hand washing frequently. I also have grandchildren and it is very hard not to hug them! When I’m desperate for a hug I throw a large sheet over them give them a quick hug and then wash the sheet!!
