Welcome to the world

We spent one night in hospital then we were kicked out and I was filled with mixed emotions. I was glad to be going home but the thought of it just being me and Zaynah was frightening. However there was no getting away from it so I told my mom to come for me after lunch not because I was hungry but thought might as well get something out of my stay and make it a little like a staycation!!
Jeanette took me, mom and Zaynah home and it wasn't long before people came to visit. Chris, Alice, Monae and Tyrae were first to see her at home about an hour after we got in followed later on by the aunts Diane, Maxcine, Yvonne and Godmothers Julia and Kamaira.

I was exhausted and I knew everyone had come to see the baby so I took the opportunity to go upstairs and get some kip. I was also very sore and sitting down was painful.
The next day the midwife came to check us both over and told me to go back to the hospital because I might need stitches but the dr said it was ok and just to come back if pain gets worse or anything. Julia came back today and uncle tony.

This was the final day of filming and because of a delay with the chaperones COVID test results we had to be on set with the kids. As it was an early morning call and we had time before Zaynah needed to get ready we got to have breakfast, result. First stop after Zaynah had got changed was hair and make-up where we met Marcia Blackwood to tame her mane.   Then it was off to the location where we waited ages for the shoot time but at least we had lunch 😋 After we wrapped Zaynah and Gabriel were given Christmas selection boxes and a Thank you card signed by cast and crew. It was nice to see tat they were still treated as children not just as little cast members.   In hair and Make-up     Us with Gabriel and his mom With writer and actress Maya Sondhi who is also a former student of Bellford Stage School.

National rail, no strike

 I had been applying for jobs on Mandy.com for a while when a job came up looking for an actress to be cast in three short educational films for Network Rail.  It looked like a great opportunity for Zaynah to work with other actors so I applied.  Imagine how excited I was to receive an email from Zahrah Issacs of Topline film production confirming Zaynah had successfully secured the role.   The first day of the shoot we travelled from Birmingham by train Milton Keynes and then got a taxi a small station called Aspley Guise. They closed it for the day of shooting and from the time we were there nobody came or even enquired as to where the trains were.. We had a £10 per person budget for lunch but there were no shops to buy anything.  It was a good job I came prepared with a packed lunch with plenty of things for Zaynah to eat and drink.  I had to limit Zaynah's drinking because there were no public toilets, so no liquids for me 😢 The scenario was Ashra...

Not very routine.

The last time is saw my neurologist was 2018 and I was supposed to have annual appointments so he could monitor how my symptoms have developed. However due to COVID seeing DR's was getting very difficult, so after constantly leaving requests for appointments with Dr Hayton's secretary and getting nowhere, I went to my GP in November 2021 and got them to refer me. I wasn't expecting an appointment straight away but defiantly within 3 months. No, when it finally came through in August 2022 it was for the 13/01/23 so it would have been 5 years since I was last seen. Since then I had started using a walking stick daily, due to may small falls or twists to my knee I had developed a bakers cyst behind my right knee and I needed to chase up my speech therapist referral. I continued to wait for my appointment but then on 28th December 2022 I received a letter advising it had been change from 13/01/23 to 13/12/23. I think it was the fact I had waited so long, my bakers cyst had rupt...
