I am still struggling a lot, my depression is getting worse day by day.
I found it hard to get up this morning but I had to as my son needed me. I just don’t feel myself, I am noticing myself focus on my son rather than anything else. Avoiding my own medical appointments and stuff.
One of my main medical needs is already sorted as I got that sorted a while ago and they call every so often so I try my best to answer.
I have asthma, I still need to go to my review to see how bad my asthma is as it can get worse.
I have ear issues, and issues with my hearing so I am meant to go to ENT clinic, they have sorted an appointment to discuss the surgery but obviously it will depend on whether I can make it.
I have a progressive vision condition aswell as another vision issue alongside it, I go to a specialist every so often to see how much it has progressed but I haven't been able to go to any of the appointments. I am not that concerned about it though. I have albinism which causes one vision issue and I then have an eye disease which is progressive.
I do have more but don't want to get into it.
I have had a really rough night, no sleep and my son's nurse is running late to care for him so that means I am now late for work. I was meant to be opening up today as my colleague that usually does it has called in sick.
