Part two
Now at home still in serious pain but with a load of pain killers, I began my isolation. Rules allowed me to have a few physiotherapy visits from my mobile physiotherapist. I was determined to recover and did my exercises every day.
Luckily I cook for myself and have a freezer full of my own cooked meals ready to defrost. I haven't bought a take away since the 1980s when it was fish and chips only. A neighbour in my high rise who is on the Strata Committee with me got me some milk and I was set for a few weeks. The news was bad, talk was all about meetings to discuss further regulations. On 15 March they came. I was not well placed to rush out and panic buy. Luckily I get my tissues, toilet and kitchen paper, from 'Who Gives A Crap' I was well provided with my store of these now valuable goodies in the storage place under my sofa.
I had to get on the email list to all the groups I was involved in as we notified of cancellations. Inner West Council notified us all hired halls were closed. We had cancelled our events in anticipation of this. Those in my circle who knew about zoom led lessons in this method of communication so we could continue our meetings.
As my back improved I took short walks alone or with one friend. I started sewing cotton masks for those who needed them. My sister in Queensland who works in aged care visiting homes, I sent her a dozen, and gave some out to friends, (35 in all). The patterns came from USA where things are dire and they are supplying hospitals.
Panic buying is crazy, why toilet paper and flour?
