LizzieM I've just had 12 days in intensive/critical and then 5 days isolation care being treated for Norovirus, something I caught on a celebratory trip to Sydney for my birthday! It usually lasts 3-4 days but in my case, it really took hold. I knew it was serious when I was asked about resuscitation options if the worst happened. Now in rehab and learning to walk unassisted. My advice is,if you are going on a cruise be scrupulous about hand and touch-point hygiene. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,298 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Thanks to everyone for their best wishes, very much appreciated. I see both Forest and County have not been doing that well. Normal service for those interested will resume with Forest vs Spurs on Friday evening. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
