Vicky Phelan looking forward to travelling around Ireland once completing self-quarantine after flying home from US
CERVICAL Check campaigner Vicky Phelan said she is looking forward to moving freely around Ireland once she completes her quarantine period after returning home from the US last week.
Vicky, was in Maryland in the US for six months receiving clinical trial treatment which she hopes will prolong her life.
The Limerick native is quarantining in Doonbeg in Clare and said on Instagram last night that she is enjoying quality family time after half a year of being separated from her kids Amelia and Darragh.
She is hopeful she will be able to leave quarantine tomorrow.
She said: "I have my five day Covid PCR test tomorrow so fingers crossed all will be well and I will be able to move around more freely."
At present, anybody arriving into Ireland must have a negative PCR when they land and they will need to self-quarantine for 14 days.
People have the option of leaving home isolation on day five if they get a second negative Covid test.
Vicky added: “I am getting down to my favourite beach, Doughmore, for a daily walk when it is quiet (which I am entitled to do before the Covid police start in on me!) Here are some pics from two different days. "
"The weather has been great here. Today was absolutely gorgeous.”
She thanked everyone for their support since her return home from overseas.
Vikcy said: “Thank you to everyone for the lovely messages.
"I can't keep up with them all at the moment because I am focusing on spending time with my kids but I will get there…
"More to come once I am Covid free.”
SUPPORT
The mum-of-two also thanked a mysterious artist who left a touching message for her, painted on a rock on Doughmore, her favourite beach.
She said: "My husband, Jim, discovered this painted rock with a lovely, personalised welcome message for me at the Surfers Entrance two days ago.
"I have no idea who painted it for me but if anyone knows, please DM me. I would love to thank the artist.
"Jim brought it home to me. THANK YOU, whoever you are, for such a thoughtful gift."
Vicky also thanked the local Trump Doonbeg hotel for sending over a hamper full of goodies for herself and her family.
