I am still very unwell and I’m unable to do my job, but I’m so glad to be out of this insurance limbo so I can at least strategise on how I’m going to survive. Wish me luck.

*Things I forgot*
I'm vaccinated (1st dose May 2021, 2nd dose July) and boosted (mid-December) with Pfizer-BioNTech. I dread to think how much worse my symptoms would be without that protection.
*Updates since filming* (filmed on May 6th)
- My company have been really wonderful and are now covering the weird week 13 for which I'd otherwise be paid statutory sick pay, and the initial 12 weeks of sick leave do now count towards other annual rewards. I wasn't expecting this and I wouldn't be in trouble without it, but it is lovely to feel that they have my back, especially since I'd only worked there a couple of months.
- The income insurance which kicks in at 14 weeks is not confirmed. Since I'm the first case of long COVID they've put together to claim on the insurance there's a chance they'll reject it for some reason. If this happens I'm in big trouble.
- My chest X-ray was all good and so is my oxygenation, blood pressure, and glucose levels. It's great that these tests aren't revealing anything worrying but boyyyyy I'm getting worried about doctors not believing my symptoms when there aren't test results to back them up. I'm hoping the long COVID clinic can provide some solace.
- Huxley had his groom and he is the smartest, cutest little pooch!

A note about when I said people should 'broadly be responsible for themselves' - I think the state has a responsibility to provide good education and healthcare but beyond that one should have to work (and with) for what they've got*. That's not to say that privilege and systematic oppression doesn't exist, but I don't think the state has control over that besides providing equitable education+healthcare.
(* huge exception for the disabled and the elderly, the state should support them)
