My sincerest & humblest apologies all! For the first time in my life, ever, 9pm, Christmas Eve & i actually just realised what day it was! π±β οΈ
No, i have no idea either but i guess that's what 2 years of near isolation can do to you (throw in painkillers, CF, fibro & depression)

Never assume that because you don't hear from someone everything is ok (the old, "no news is good news" {as all must be ok!}, they're just busy! Especially when it's such a landmark day & ppl are invariably wrapped up with their families. That's not always the case!
Why am i isolating at Christmas? 2 reasons:
π΅ many NHS staff appear to be falling ill despite being triple jabbed &
π΅ Studies seem to be showing effectiveness behind to wane a bit after 10 weeks.
So do you go meet your elderly mum, who's allowing my nephew to shuttle between..

.. Her home, his g/f & school for at least the last month (he's been been a teaching assistant)
For a start that's 3 households if i rocked up at mum tomorrow! Added to his many other hundreds of household he's had contact with via school....

I've had COVID once. I've already got the winter stuffy π, hot & cold sensation are a mess due to fibromyalgia (& kidney Tx function i suspect) not having had recent blood, not being able to talk to the consultant at the mo & last bloods 6mo

Ago, I'm sure you'll forgive my caution!
Besides, the tests aren't perfect in immunocompromised ppl & i can't afford a false negative! Plus, it's taken 2 weeks to calm my arthritic hands & wrists to the point i could drive & shop last wk, don't want to undo that!

then there's no shame on me for having to do the same & err on the side of caution, rather than take an unnecessary risk!
So enjoy your gatherings if you are! If you're not, you're #notalone this #Christmas! It may be tough but the prize is still being alive!

My #kidney #transplant was the best present i could have ever had! I'm happy to "unwrap" it not just once a year but every. Single. day. of. every. year! 886 days & counting!
It's Christmas every day here
It gave me the chance to live! I'm not dishonouring my donor by wasting it!
