Covid 19 Has Me Isolated.

My life has suddenly changed in the last 48 hours.  I have been strongly advised by my Specialist, that because of the Covid 19 virus, and because I have such a poor immune system, that I am no longer allowed to travel on buses, or go to shopping malls or supermarkets or anywhere there are crowds.  This is going to seriously impact my life because my entire life revolves around catching buses to where ever I need or want to go to.  I am not allowed to drive, so buses are my only mode of transport. My specialist told me to keep off buses and stay away from crowded places.  The yesterday when speaking with one of the local Pharmacists, he too strongly advised the same.  I had caught a bus to get to the Pharmacy as I wanted to have the flu injection.  I get it early because of my health issues.  I was unable to get it done at my GP's because they were fully booked for the entire week.  After discussing my health with the Pharmacist I decided not to catch the bus home and walk instead.  
Not being able to catch the bus is going to seriously impact on my life, and I am not sure how things will go.  It will mean I am virtually isolated at home.  I have recently started going ice skating again, but that too will now stop because I have to get two buses there and two buses home!  Bummer!  I am not happy about any of this.
Luckily, I have a cousin who said she will help with my grocery shopping.  She called me today and after explaining my situation to her she said she would help.  She lives close by, so that's good.
Changing the topic, I took 60 cards I had made, to the hospital for them to sell, and the funds go to Hospice.  I handed them over to the receptionist there and she said the shop was closed for two months, because the ladies who volunteer there were not allowed to be there due to this virus.
I left the cards with her, but wish I hadn't.  My feeling is that not all of the cards will make it to the shop.
I'm due to go back to the hospital in two months as I have another appointment.  I will check to see how many of my cards made it to the shop!  Just a gut feeling I had.
I haven't made any cards this week, but might get something made over the weekend.
Well, I can't go anywhere so I may as well stamp!!  Have a great weekend!  Stay well!
Thanks for dropping by, have a SUNSHINE day!  {HUGS} from me to YOU:-)

  1. Tough as it will be, you need to listen to them and stay put. We've been shut down here for the better part of this week and there's no definite end in sight. Be well and stay safe. And make cards.....lots and lots of cards!
