19 weeks in LOCKDOWN, Cancer, Symptoms, Unlocking, Hugs week for the first time .............




We are in our 19th week of lockdown here at 
Wilson Mansions.
All this time I have had cancer within.
Being held back by hormone injections x 3 monthly.

I don't feel ill.
There is a long list of possible symptoms for such is me.
Hot flushes - a few when I awake at night.
Not often. I just throw off the duvet for a while.

Anxiety - I don't think I suffer.
All my feelings get taken to the washing machine of my mind.
My mini-biog mentions about me being an 
Emotion Detective.
I am always welcoming feelings and learning from them - BUT I am not having them telling me what to do!!

Only today MrsBeautiful & I had a discussion about these things. Emotions that is.
I talk about my emotions to my closest.

We are living in strange times.
Early this week I was sharing my 4 words about having a strategy midst the pandemic. 
I posted it here on my www.pipwilson.com 
About having a strategy but also the steps ahead.
People have always been central in my life.
I feed off them.
I believe I am useful to them too.
I am not in my normal flow of colliding with you.

I have already reconnected with a number of humans who I normally meet up with - face to face - 121.

But I believe I need to get out more.
We walk everyday but that is one routine 
but I need more.
I am still working on this - like an architect !
But I am designing the foundations FIRST  !!

One good thing yesterday::
I had emailed my great Doctor about how we are missing the hugs and closeness with our daughters and granddaughters.
I love them so much ..............
I wanted his views as he knows best about my condition.

Yesterday he phoned me and said that we would be pretty safe in a Family Bubble (including kisses & hugs).
If any of us have any symptoms like loss of smell /  high temperature etc.. 
- we all have to isolate !

I am on the National list of vulnerable humans::
*Over 70 (both of us)
*Cancer
BUT I am not high in the critical list as others with cancers & certain treatments.

So ............. this week, with the girls not a school,
we can meet up and hug for a few days
for the first time in 20 weeks ................
THAT is excellent news and I am certain it will be like therapy for us all.

Also I need to get out and stretch my boundaries more.
Do new things - cafes - eating out - going a shop 
(maybe not)
Getting my ear buds fixed
Car serviced ......... all with caution !

I am still at foundation level.
But now I need to build a new life.
