    @deb74 glad to hear you're feeling better ☺ 

    @April2018mom I don't think they will while our death toll is so high. I would love to get out the house some day soon. Its definitely a very trying time for us all... Half the time I don't even know what day it is ☺

    I've only just joined so I'm a newbie. I'm used to being out and about shopping using public transport. So boring having to stay in. How many box sets can you really watch. Been trying to sort wardrobes out and found a box of videos of auf wiesdesehen pet full series videos who remembers them . What a fab series that was. Apologies to anyone under forty five who won't have a clue what I'm in about. Goggke if you don't . One of the funniest series ever. Shame I don't have the video player anymore.

    Hi @Brumboy68 welcome. Ah yes I remember that show it was funny. I also had a few uncles that worked abroad on construction sites. Always reminded me of them. Yes  this not allowed out at all and having young adults tell me all day long how boring it is. ☺

    Safer indoors anyway if I fit the last place I want to end up is in hospital under the current circumstances. You can understand why there are only a few people attending a and e  because they are too scared too go.

    Yes that's true I'm high risk so definitely the hospital is the last place I want to be. 
    We all just have to ride it out as best we can.

    I found life alot easier when the sun ? was out.  I find when its dark and rainy, my pain increases.  As has been said, its difficult to remember what day it is as every day blends into one.

    I hope the weather's a bit brighter where you are today @myztogen. While working helps me keep some structure to the day itself, I can definitely relate to the feeling of the week as a whole blending into one.

    Life is ok.  I'm experiencing a fair amount of pain which is a very lonely trip.  I have my twin brother and nieces who look after and help me.  Thank you for asking.  I hope you and everyone else are well ?.  X

    Sorry to hear you are in pain @myztogen. It's never nice to be in pain. Is there anything that you find helps? Glad to hear you have that support. :)

    Here is a thread about managing pain during lockdown which you might find helpful.

    I had a bad night with pain last night.  I have been up since 4am.  My pain exists around my Above knee amputation.  ( I am an ex Royal Marine).  In addition to my leg I cannot use all my right hand, and have lower back pain.  I take Fentanyl as well as other pain meds,which create their own problems.  Although I have my twin brother and nieces who live with me, its a very lonely trip.

    Hi everyone, seems many of us are having a bit difficult time right now.
    Battling poor health, family and everything else.
    I myself have been have a rough few days ended up in A &E with chest pain and breathlessness.
    I am home now. My neurological symptoms are up and down and I have been in bed for 2 days with pain and numbness.
    My children however have taken over (eldest 2) to allow me to rest bless them. The little ones come and lay with me and we talk.
    Being in bed not able to move and being housebound is normal for me.
    The little children are very worried about covid 19 and I have reassured them.
    I think the children have been great in all this. ?
