Brandon Styles conveys how the pandemic is affecting a young person with medical needs
Change was forced upon me
Overnight I became restricted
Vulnerable because of my medical needs
Impacted my life and freedom
Daily news updates became more important and calling
119 could book you an appointment
90 days since lockdown…
Shielding must continue till August 2020
However things are progressing
It helped me discover new skills
Eventually I got used to the new “normal”, playing basketball
Learning to tend my vegetable patch, baking and spotting rockets in the sky
Days seem endless and all roll into one
I can now go outside, keeping a distance from others
Never going shopping but I can walk the dog
Good things have come during this pandemic, looking for the positives when there are many negatives…
