My experience of Covid 19 has been overshadowed by a more personal crisis. My husband was diagnosed with Brain cancer on 6 March just as the panic about the virus started to set in. We were so shocked as the symptoms were not obvious to us and my husband is very fit. Suddenly just when I needed support from my family and friends they were not able to see us because of the new social distancing rules. All our plans for the year came crashing down.
We are receiving lots of phone calls and messages from everyone and video calls as well. These keep us in touch with the world. My mum, brother and sisters all live in the UK. They are locked down far more than we are. Mum hasn’t left her house for 2 months. She has wonderful neighbours which makes me happy.
My niece’s planned wedding in London was cancelled and of course my flight to attend it is also cancelled. Mum (who was widowed last September) was due to return to Sydney with my brother and me. All now cancelled. Husband is going through chemotherapy and is on his 3rd round. He is going well. It is all so weird that we can’t see our two sons and their families. No one can visit us because of husband’s low immunity even now the restrictions are lessened.
I am feeling better for having a haircut yesterday, Just Cuts is open again, but have to be so careful. Everyone is getting used to distancing and you find yourself giving way to people like when you are driving.
People are kinder than before.
