So I’ve spent the night here, and just getting ready for night 2. Well, my body feels like it’s been ripped apart. My muscles feel like someone literally grabbed them and ripped them apart. Which apparently isn’t too far off the description.. My muscles went into a cramp state, but all over my body, headContinue reading “Chinese hospital day 2”

I haven’t written in here for a while, but as I am led here on a hospital bed, unable to sleep, I figured now is as good a time as any. So where to start? I started the day fine, I did a leg day at the gym and my legs were jelly after! I’veContinue reading “Been a minute, where to begin?”

So long time no see again.. Things have been pretty good recently. I mean besides my grandad dying, not being able to go home and visit my family, being in isolation for 3 months.. I actually got back on track and worked out for a week solid. Invested in some home workout equipment. I honestlyContinue reading “China day 1000000000.”

Hey long time no speak. So a lot of you are probably going through similar emotions I went through when we first heard about everything here. Well we are still in isolation, and I’m going mental. So this will be broken into two bits. Firstly 1: World gone crazy. China got hit the worst withContinue reading “World gone mad”

So originally I was going to come back to the UK for my Grandad’s funeral. See my family etc. However that has now changed. Few reasons really but main points. It will be unpaid whilst there. Work has not given a return to work date yet. A 2 week quarantine would be required upon returningContinue reading “Day 45 – Change of plans”

I lost my Grandad today. There isn’t anything anyone can say or do to change that. And what hurts the most is the situation across China, and now a lot of the world, prevented me from saying goodbye. My family got to go and see him, I got 2 seconds on a screen before startingContinue reading “Day 42 – A hard goodbye”

Okay so, straight into it, I’m struggling. My Grandad is very ill and he’s not going to make it. He has numerous health problems and has been moved for end of life care. Emily tried to find a way back to the UK for me, and did, but travelling is risky. Also I would haveContinue reading “Day 40 – mental struggle”

So today was a good day. We went outside on a little trip! I know crazy! It is the first time we have done something that isn’t the same in 36 days! Our Chinese friends took us one a dog walk with our two dogs, to a lake. And it was sunny! I even caughtContinue reading “Day 36 – we caught a break”

So I’ve put off writing a day as there is a lot to cover in this and I had to think about it as I didn’t want it to come off too rant driven. So it will be broken into sections. Section 1 Information on the coronavirus and “fear mongering” : First things first, IContinue reading “Day 35 – the long one”

My mindset has been so good recently I haven’t even googled how many are dead here. And I’m not going to. I’m going to keep this going. So. Today was. L. A. Z. Y. I stayed in bed until 2pm. Yes you read that right. In my defence the night before last I got noContinue reading “Day 33 – my lazy day.”
