Yes, I have Covid. It seems that lateral flow tests are not a lot of use.
I probably have the Delta variant according to my sister. The symptoms are different to the original variant, which is why I didn’t realise what was happening. The Government, for some reason, isn’t publicising this. As a result, it looks like at least one nurse from the practice will be off work for ten days.
I feel bad about this, and have sent my apologies.
I’m isolating until next Thursday.
More later.
In was away at a funeral and did not see this post. I am really sorry about your misfortune and hope that recovery is under way. (I thought that I ought to check when you hadn’t appeared in the reader since I got back.)
No problem. I am still tired but am now healthy.
Excellent news. I am sure that everyone is telling you not to rush your recovery, so I won’t bother to add to the chorus.
🙂 “Rush” seems like a concept from a different era . . .
How are you now? I was worried when I didn’t see any recent posts from you.
Exhausted but recovering thanks.
I’m relieved to hear this!
Oh, good! I, too, have been worried about you. Thought I’d check the comments of this post to see if there were any updates, and yes, there were. Yay! So glad you are recovering.
We are allowed out tomorrow! 🙂 Still very tired.
Sorry you’re so tired, but very glad to read you’re allowed out tomorrow. Both my husband and daughter have been concerned about you two. Amazing the bonds we form through WordPress.
Sunshine, a burger and a touch of freedom – it was a very good day. 🙂
A good day is right!
🙂 Hope you, Clif and the family are all staying well.
So far, so good! Thanks for asking.
🙂
HOLY CRAP! Well, that does it! I am going to get my shot! My preacher and his wife had their shots a while back then he got COVID a few weeks ago. His wife never did get. His daughter now has it and has been in the hospital and her husband may have it now. They didn’t get vaccinated… Take care, my friend, and I hope you will be up and going very soon! You and Julia!
Thank you.
Dammit. Dammit. Dammit
Such is life. 🙂
I did wonder considering your symptoms. I hope that you make a rapid recovery.
I’m currently tired but generally healthy. 🙂
Oh good… take care of yourself
🙂
I am sorry to hear you both have the covid variant. Sending best wishes to you and Julia.
Thank you Lavinia. We are resting and drinking tea. 🙂
Hope you are both feeling better?
Absolutely exhausted, but with a light feeling things are getting better. Thanks. 🙂
Oh, no, that’s bad news, hope you fight it off, soon 😁
It’s slightly better than it was yesterday. To be fair it’s just a very bad cold, but on top of the blood poisoning I’m feeling seriously knackered. 🙂
Yeah, I bet you are! It’s not been the best of times recently 😏 Hope you start to feel somewhat better soon 😊
I’m very tired but don’t feel too bad apart from that.
Oh, man that is bad and I am sorry you have it and had such experiences trying to find out. Take care of yourself and let us know how you’re doing when you feel up to it.
It’s slightly better today thanks. We are going to use separate beds for a few days as we have very different ideas on temperature. Julia slept half-way on top of the covers last night and I shivered all night. It seems she is positive too.
Oh Simon, I am so sorry.
O, Simon, I am so sorry. I hope you both heal soon.
We are doing OK thanks. It should soon be over. 🙂
That’s a relief.
🙂
Goodness, I didn’t realize they had changed the way comments post, so you got two, plus an explanation…
🙂 Tricky stuff, WP. 🙂
Oh, Simon, I’m so sorry to hear this. I know you did everything you could to keep everyone around you safe. But if you are getting false assurances from those tests, then they seem to do more harm than good, don’t they?
Take good care of yourself. I hope you have an easy go of it. Hugs to both you and Julia.
Hank you. It seems negative lateral flow tests aren’t worth a damn. Julia did a positive one today so ill be testing properly tomorrow.
Thinking of you both. Drink lots of water & commit to taking it easy. <3
Taking it easy is not a problem. 🙂
Catching up, I just read your three posts in quick succession. So kind of you to be thinking of everyone else. Take care, I hope you feel better very soon x
Thank you. It’s getting better. 🙂
Moral is not to rely on negative lateral flow tests.
Get plenty of rest and take care! And, keep us posted when you feel like it. We’ll all be anxiously waiting for updates.
Julia is now positive too. I’m too tired not to rest. 🙁
Oh, gosh! I was wondering about Julia. You have both been much on my mind. No surprise, alas. Do keep us all posted if you have the energy.
🙂
Take care of yourself!
Will do.
Well, best of British luck. I hope things go well.
It’s OK at the moment thanks – being double vaccinated seems to make a lot of difference.
Are you OK after the earthquakes? I meant to ask but have just been so tired.
There was no damage where I am in Ballarat but one of my doors that has always stuck now opens and closes easily. But thank you for asking
That’s good. Sticky doors can be an annoyance.
