GOOD STUFF Things that are going Ok in Shielded Isolation are that my GP has been great, I’m trying out a video link annual health check. I’ll let you know how that goes. Gov.uk keep sending me ration boxes which given my special diet are not always suitable. I wonder how some elderly, shielded, disabled people can survive on these rations, however there is always a giant onion, mega size toilet roll and plenty of shampoo. REALITY STUFF Missing all of the “inclusion”, being out and about stuff that I love, like Pubs and Gigs and its difficult to find flour for Cakes. Can't really make plans about how the future looks. I am thinking about having to wear a mask and getting used to it, when I am finally let out. Then there’s all the cleaning. Ma is still obsessed with Anti-bacing and I’m having to learn to wash my hands which is a real sensory challenge for me.
I’m trying to watch and find out how people with learning disabilities are being treated during this pandemic. I’ve been getting a lot of info from Twitter and there are some shocking stories. Serious reality for me, DNAR forms. My GP rang me at the beginning of my shielding and said he had to fill these forms in. Me, my mum, my sister, and one of my PA's had already had a long chat about it. The GP agreed we would have a chat each time I'm ill with everyone who matters to me. The last of bit of reality is that I think that me, and people like me are becoming invisible....maybe forgotten. Finishing on a bright note, check out my live stream gig on Saturday.

Brilliant blog Christian! Saying so many important things and giving us all an insight into what you are all going through and it’s the details that so many of us don’t need to think of but should. I always admire your strength, openness and passion to get through so many tough times and still remain positive and supportive of your wider community. And still such good taste in music alongside it all!! I hope you and all of us get to a pub and hear some music soon!!

Thanks for a great blog again Christian. Good to see you are trying out wearing a mask. I have seen people out for a walk with their supporters wearing a mask but not them. I have wondered is it because they chose not to wear a mask or were they not given the opportunity to wear one. 😔
