Monday 9th November 2020 - New lockdown does not stop us exercising: plus more applications; Lazza eye operation


Posted 4:00pm

Hello everyone.  Back to another Monday morning, but also still in the new lockdown, as we will be all November.  Let us hope that this is the last of the major lockdowns.

Sadly, for our daily exercise session, this was the kiss of death. The new lockdown regulations state that you can exercise outdoors, but only with one other person from a different household.  This does not stop us totally though. Lazza is doing his Kilimanjaro challenge, and started last Monday.  Since Thursday he has stated that he will continue to do it, and if anyone just happens to be walking at the same time that is great. It meant that we are walking around Highbury Fields every morning - socially distanced in groups of two. Maybe, technically, we are still following the rules.

Lazza did not walk this morning - he had a "Yag Laser Capsulotomy" - which sounds quite complicated but is, in fact, a fairly easy straightforward laser surgery on his right eye, following his detached retina in 2018 and cataract in 2019.  This was his sixth eye surgery in 38 months and, thankfully, what should be the final one. It was a success.  Yay!!

Finally, we have made two more funding applications.  It is quite easy to lose track, but we are currently waiting to hear on five we have made.  If we can get one or two that would be absolutely brilliant, and any more would be a bonus.  We have to also be aware that due to many people applying for funds at this time there is a good chance we will not get any of them.  That's life!!!
