A Quiet Day? Think Again!

I thought that there might be nothing too much to report on today – sat in bed, enjoying a coffee, watching BBC Morning News on the iPad. Sunny day – I was looking forward to this rest day.

Knock, knock!

Nope – Anastasia has other plans.

“Get packing – you’re moving straight to the Isolation room!”

Moving In

I scoop all my belongings into my suitcase, much like I did for the journey here – only this time, without Jen’s help.

Then… unload.

I figured the restrictions in isolation would be pretty strict.

Not that I was picturing being pushed into a room and hosed down, but still – I had to be careful about what to bring and what stays in the case.

The Essentials

• Gadgets? ✅ Can’t imagine doing this without them.
  (Cleaned down, wiped well – all good to go.)
• Clothes? ✅ Plenty of clean ones packed.
  (No hospital gowns with side slits for me thank you!)
• Food & condiments? ✅ Approved – but must be microwaved, not applied cold.

So, I’m in.

Everything’s unpacked, anti-bac’d, and ready for a bit of a stay.

Embracing the Quiet

To be honest, I’m actually looking forward to this.

MS is incredibly tiring, especially when other people are constantly spending your precious energy for you, making plans when you’d sooner be at home.

In my isolation room. I get to make use of the fun gadgets I brought – the ones I never seem to have time to play with at home. Old skool Sonic the Hedgehog anyone? 😉

This could even get very therapeutic!

Tomorrow – The Big One

Tomorrow is a big day.

Let’s put those stem cells back – and crack the whip!
