The New Normal.

15/06/2020


I feel like I no longer know what normal is, it has been a very long time since I've had the courage or in fact the willingness to record my feelings. 
I was busy getting used to " The New Normal", not the new normal connected to the Corona Virus Lockdown, but my personal New Normal, which was me getting used to living alone without my lifelong friend, of not going to work and facing crazy times in busy restaurants, of being forced into retirement due to a second heart attack, and finally being deemed to be unsafe to drive because of damage to my memory. The memory issues were brought about by the effect of some of my medications and a possible victim of the heart attack and the subsequent medications, my thought is that the medication I was taking for the Leukemia, started the problem. But hey, whatever caused it is irrelevant, it is what it is and I just have to adjust my life accordingly. So everytime I hear the comment on the news, "The New Normal", I think how hard it must be for people who are used to being able to "Go wherever, whenever with Whoever they want, I guess, in this instance, I have been very lucky, it didn't really change anything for me.
I hope no-one thinks I'm playing the "poor me" card, I'm actually very lucky, I think I just wanted to share in the hope that maybe my situation may help someone else in a similar situation.
My advice is, immerse yourself in the things you love, take advantage of the new freedoms, keep in touch with your friends and family and look forward to better times.
