Calling all lurkers

in Living with arthritis

This is somewhat cheeky of me as I've become one myself. But I see, on this, my occasional visit, that there is a lot of angst over coronavirus. So I thought it might be nice if we all popped in, just for once, to let everyone know that we're all OK

I'm not here myself these days. Coronavirus has stretched my workload to proportions which leave little time for anything else – though I'm hoping to manage the odd glass in the garden before long.

I just looked in and saw few names I recognised. Where are you all? Please say you're OK. Then, like me, you can disappear again. Yes, I'm blushing.

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hello, I'm OK. I've been doing as I should for around a month so I am at least a third of my way through, more likely a quarter but whatever, the time is passing. I received the text equivalent of THE LETTER this afternoon, yawned and went back to sleep.

    I am keeping myself busy making greetings cards for neighbours who are unable to get out to buy them and that is taking up a surprising amount of time. I am very pleased to hear that you are OK, hope you stay that way! DD

    Hi Sharon,

    My sincere apologies to all as I've been "missing in action" for some while now. Lots going on in the family - and not all good sadly. I'm going to try and be more pro-active now so all being well, you'll be seeing my name popping up more often.

    As for how I'm coping? I'm being forced to work from home even though my office is still open and my line manager knows my working from home is extremely difficult for me. Just completed my first 2 days working at home and my pain levels have gone through the roof as I cannot replicate my work station here. I've also not been able to bring my specialist chair home as I can't physically get it home; nor have I the space for it. That's life though.

    Take care everyone.

    GraceB
