1/6
So 1st day out today in over 2 months .. It all felt weird but I expected it to be like this.
Passed about 10 people. NONE had any protection ( mask, gloves). and NONE apart from 1 jogger used social distancing! This is when I got real panicked ..
2/6
People where far too close to me and made no attempt to move and I couldn't as there was no dropped kerbs for me to get onto road in my wheelchair. Luckily I called an aunt who spoke with me until my panic subsided.
3/6
Surgery was empty 3 receptionists ALL not adhering to social distancing and nobody was wearing any protection. Is this the norm ? Again my anxiety kicked in … But then my Dr came out and opened doors to help me get to her room ..

she was kitted in full PPE " PHEW" Examination was done carefully . SHE was brilliant with me and praised my effort of getting there. That acknowledgement brought my anxiety down somewhat! We had a good half hour of chatting and an physical exam and despite some negatives

regarding my health. Her approach and attitude on how I can look after myself until I can be seen at hospital was GREAT! She was kind, thoughtful, she listened and heard what I was saying and she was thorough and gave me time to go through the things happening with my body.

All in all I am exhausted to extremes BUT sooooo dam proud of myself that I didn't turn back and come home ! I will draw on today and make small goals over the next weeks. I kicked ANXIETYS AZZ today and it felt GREAT!!
