I couldn’t do it. I’m happy for her that she can. My memory is shot so I couldn’t learn everything needed to do a professional job like that. I was premed in college, and did really well. But now I’m afraid to go out because the men are after me. I’m full of fear all the time. And I can’t remember anything anyway.

Mentally: Not bad at all. Slight dip in mood , but that happens this time of year COVID or not.
Physically : Back pain walking short distances. Right hip pain . . Have seen an osteopath twice which has cost ÂŁ99/$128 and have another appointment on Tuesday. I think he has helped somewhat.Balance is a little better than it was but not back to pre Covid level(which was lower than average as it was) yet .
Physiotherapist came round unexpectedly today. I’d have preferred my stepdaughter to be here as things are taken more seriously, and less dismissively then . The impression I got was that he thought it was all much ado about nothing.
Regular depot nurse , who had been self isolating since March/April , came to catch up on how things have been going.with me. She’s recommending I have a flu jab. Next pdoc appointment is going to be a virtual one.
Internet connection had been playing up for several days, but touch wood it’s now OK

Yes, as is said in Batman Begins, “The training is nothing, the Will is everything”.
Psych nurse is better option for schizophrenic.
