Chris is now on antibiotics for chest infection. The coughs are horrendous, there is no let up day and night.

 

Little update on CV..At 10.30pm last night I had to send for an Ambulance, Chris was struggling to breathe and was getting panicky. The Paramedics were brilliant, they decided to take him in after tests showed oxygen levels low. They suspected a small clot had formed apparently, this can happen with Covid. I wasn't allowed to go with him as I am positive as well. He was brought home at 4.30am, still coughing. No let up still. I am not as ill as Chris but still very much sofa bound!

I hope my posts can be a constant reminder to you all that anyone can get ill, if reading makes you all extra careful, that is my aim.

[LizzieM 8,710]

Must have been, and still is, very worrying for you Carni.  Thinking of you and wishing you both a speedy recovery.

So sorry that you had such a scary time with Chris last night, but pleased he’s  home again now.   It must have been horrible not being able to go with him in the ambulance.   I hope his breathing will soon get easier and that your energy levels will rise as well.   Love to you both xx

Thankyou all.

 We have had a lot of offers of help. Daughter is cooking daily to tempt us to eat, more often than not, we put it in the fridge until next day. Messages getting to us to phone neighbours for any reason. I think it took a few days for people to realise we haven't been seen cycling for a while. We are blessed with good neighbours and caring family. 

[PeverilPeril 2,781]

Heyup Carni. Glad that you are staying as positive as ever and just hoping that Chris has improved.

It is said that neighbours are a reflection of yourself.

A Mega Large Like to you all.xxx

[DJ360 5,523]

Carni.. I was thinking about you and Chris while I was jet washing the back patio today...

I'm sure that means you are both getting better.

Love from Col and family.

Carni , this virus is affecting us all in one way or another. I know we are all thinking about you and wish you both a speedy recovery. The awful thing about this is we don't have any physical contact with those near and dear. You are very lucky to have neighbours who are watching over you and of course your daughter who cooks for you. Giving her a hug is impossible but I'm sure she can feel one from you. I see my daughter every day but as she is in contact with her business partner ( ex husband who remarried and has children) she is taking no chances and wears her mask and stays a distance from us. Hard not to give her a kiss and hug, but she insists she's only doing what she has to do. So Carni I know exactly how you feel, she's your daughter and you are her mum, the virus shouldn't intervene but it has. Keep thinking positive and try to relax even if that's hard to do. Everything will turn out well. Love and hugs to you both.

One thing I have noticed is that there isn’t anything about the virus in schools on the news. Nottinghamlive has a list of schools that have reported outbreaks in Nottinghamshire (over 90 and counting) but there doesn’t seem to be any statistics nationally or local breakdowns (Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire etc.). There seem to be statistics for everything else but not this. 

 

[carni 9,821]

Margie is right. I keep popping in to see how you all are. Thankyou all so much for your posts.

 

I'm afraid we are not very well the pair of us. This must be the 'Long Covid' that we hear about because we seem to make an improvement and then  drop right back again. Which is where we are now. I have had to go back to bed and Chris is downstairs horizontal on the sofa. I like the peace and quiet , and he likes to be where the tele is. We will eventually get over this but for now we have no energy or umph between us.

 

First thing on my day and last thing at night, I check you all out to see what you are up to, and throughout the day I like to know If I am missing anything. 

 

I never thought anything would put me off my beloved cream cakes/sweeties, but this bloomin' virus has  certainly  made my sweet taste so strong I can't eat sweet stuff at all.

 

I just want to add, Covid 19 is a horrible illness in many ways, but to have two people ill in the same house with it, who feel that bad they can't help the other one is awful. Anyway to you all, take care and I know this is a long post, but again, if it puts just one of you off taking a risk, it's worth it.xxx

Still thinking about and pulling for you carni and hubby you will beat the bleddy virus take care Ian and Jill.

[nonnaB 4,166]

Sorry to hear you are still feeling unwell Carni. Be strong ( in mind if not in body). It's a terrible virus that has affected people in many different ways. You'll shake it off soon and meanwhile stay safe and warm. We are all thinking and rooting for you. ( rooting ? Spelling, but you know what I mean)

[radfordred 5,443]

So this Pfizer vaccine, will you be joining the queue? (hopefully behind the NHS workers & care workers & then the 80+) 

 

Me, I'm prepared to wait a couple of years.

[Jill Sparrow 8,522]

And I'll be some distance behind you, RR. Provided those who had it earlier are still alive, kicking and unharmed. It's amazing how many nurses I've spoken to aren't aware of what happened when the polio vaccine was rushed out in the USA. It's more than half a century ago but it scares me. 

[MargieH 6,657]

I’ll have the vaccine as soon as it’s offered to me.   

[PeverilPeril 2,781]

For those that are undecided about having the jab, please ask yourself this - If I don't have the jab, am I putting others at risk and am I prepared to do nothing to minimise the prevalence of the disease?

[philmayfield 4,341]

I read that people were queuing outside Primark from 6am today. Is that where you get vaccinated?
