On work days I get up around 7 a.m. to leave the house at 7:30 a.m.
It’s long enough to shower, make my coffee, and run out the door.
Children are usually still asleep when I leave, so I don’t see them before work.
Before the outbreak, I used to wear my own clothes to work, but now we have to wear medical uniforms, which are kept in the hospital for infection control.
After the shift I put my clothes back on before heading home, always making sure to wash my hands well when leaving. I am also anti-bac in the car and as soon as I enter the door of my house.
I often shower right after I get home, before I see the kids. I can return quite late, so they are usually in bed or on the way.
I meet Pete at dinner, then have a cup of tea on the couch and go back to bed.
I think I am speaking for many key workers and the NHS when I say that it is a very anxious moment right now.
Not only are we in the midst of a pandemic, but our jobs are changing rapidly and we are learning new skills and new roles within the team.
Many hospitals are understaffed due to illness, with a growing number of very poor patients.
Obviously, this is combined with anxiety about the disease itself and what can happen if you are not feeling well, not to mention how that can affect your family.
Many people I know who work for the NHS also have family members who work on the front line, adding another dimension to the concern.
Give now to The Sun’s NHS appeal
The four million British NHS staff members are at the forefront of the battle against the coronavirus.
But while they are helping save lives, who is there to help them?
The Sun has launched an appeal to raise £ 1MILLION for NHS workers.
The Who Cares Wins Appeal aims to obtain vital support for staff in their time of need.
We have partnered with NHS Charities Together on their urgent Covid-19 Call to ensure that the money reaches exactly who needs it.
The Sun is donating £ 50,000 and we would like YOU to help us raise a million pounds, to help THEM.
No matter how little you can save, please donate here today.

On the other hand, we are so well supported, not only by our colleagues and families, but by the entire country.
The amount of friendly gestures I’ve seen is overwhelming: people bringing food for hospital workers, offering them places to stay, or just words of encouragement.
And, of course, clapping on Thursday nights is wonderful.
Something that has caught my attention recently is the issue of the distribution of fans throughout the country and how that affects patient care.
Despite having previously worked twice in intensive care, he had not fully appreciated the complicated differences between the type of ventilators found in intensive care and those used in operations or an ambulance.
As more and more people require ventilation, some hospitals are running out of intensive care ventilators and have to use simpler anesthesia machines.
Join our George Cross campaign for NHS staff
Today SUN readers are urged to sign a petition asking that our NHS staff receive the George Cross.
Yesterday, we endorsed a proposal by Lord Ashcroft to honor our health heroes with the gallantry gong given for acts of bravery that did not take place in battle.
A No10 spokesperson said: “The NHS is doing a fantastic job and the nation will want to find a way to thank you when we have beaten this virus.”
SAS hero Andy McNab added: “George’s Cross Award would demonstrate emotional appreciation.”
We are asking readers to sign the petition online at thesun.co.uk/georgecrossfornhs.
Obviously, these machines can ventilate a person to keep them breathing, but they are not designed for long-term use and do not have the same complex configuration found in intensive care machines.
Although more machines are being built, this is a slow process and not all new machines will be of the more advanced type.
Hopefully with a greater awareness of this problem we can begin to identify which geographic areas have the highest concentration of cases and whether collaboration across the NHS could facilitate the administration of areas with high demand.
When talking to other parents, it is clear that many people worry about their children and the coronavirus.
Although the virus is less likely to endanger children’s lives, it is still a worrying time for parents.
There are parents who work on the NHS who live apart from their children to protect them, especially if they have underlying health conditions.

It is so wonderful for me to dedicate myself to his work in this way.
From a medical perspective, one of the big concerns is that children will not be rushed to the hospital with easy-to-treat conditions because their parents are concerned about the coronavirus.
Conditions like appendicitis, pneumonia, and meningitis will continue at the same rate as usual, so parents should treat their children the same way they would at any other time.
Children are susceptible to many viruses that can affect their breathing, including viral chest infections and the flu, so parents should base their decisions about going to the hospital on how their child is doing, not on whether they are concerned about the risk. of coronavirus.
The Royal College of Pediatrics and Children’s Health has released a one-page guide on when to seek help for any unwell child.
Another source of information is the Handi phone app, which has been adopted by many areas across the UK. It covers the five most common reasons for hospital admissions for children.

As a parent, I think it is important that you always feel that you can get help and advice if you need it, and most of all I remind myself to tackle any illness in children like I would any other time.
Hopefully, if more parents adopt this approach, it will avoid delays in bringing sick children to the hospital.
In the meantime, I am very lucky to have such a practical husband to help me at home. Pete really is brilliant.
I’m pretty sure I speak for most moms when I say that dads never do things exactly to your standards.
I found some black socks in the white clothes!
But with everything that happened, I put my irrational standards aside and was very grateful for all of their hard work.
