Beckett Posted December 13, 2021 #28403 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Phew - that was a long day - just got home. We're ready to rock and roll from tomorrow so a day earlier than we thought. To all other NHS staff and volunteers on here, good luck for the next few crazy weeks. To all our friends on CC who give us unfailing encouragement and support, thank you so much. We're going hit those targets guys! Keep well and safe everyone. Best wishes to you all. Jane.x 16 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted December 13, 2021 #28405 Share Posted December 13, 2021 4 hours ago, Josy1953 said: Darling niece just rang with the bad news that her husband woke up feeling really ill this morning so she sent him out for a PCR, the results have just come back and he is covid positive. They visited us yesterday and he was fine then. We have now decided that we will stay at home for the rest of this week just in case. No nice lunch for me with my friends on Wednesday. We have done everything we could to avoid this, I can't remember the last time that we let anyone into our house. We are both triple vaccinated so hopefully we won't be too ill if we have been infected. So sorry to hear this Josy, hope you stay illness free. I didn’t work today because my voice is still a croak and I actually felt a bit rough this morning. I was going to have a meal with 4 friends Wednesday night but I’m not going to go. I don’t want to pass it on to them in time for Christmas! I think I got it from a friend I went out with last week, I wished she’d warned me before we went! Luckily I have LFT tests at the moment as we picked some up from the chemist and then they were given them out in a local shopping centre the next day! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t catch her name or speciality - not Devi Shridar - but she knew her stuff, virology or epidemiology probably. Anyway, unless I misheard, she said that this variant is so transmissible that pretty much everyone is destined to get it, unless they live like a total hermit. Mr Eddie and I have set about wondering whether we should relax a little. Our defences are presumably as strong as they are ever likely to be and we will never be this young(!) again. Better now than later??? Who knows? Anyway, we’re not going to go out ‘door knob licking’ just yet but will certainly stay alert and keep up with expert opinion on this. To think, we felt invincible less than one month ago, after our booster and before anyone had heard of omicron. Funny old life, eh? Earlier in the year you recommend an Indian restaurant in Weymouth. I got an email today with their new menu. It's a bit too far for us to pop down for a curry, but I recommend that you do. All those spices must kill all known germs.🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't really want to retire!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi Jane. Lovely to hear from you. I hear retirement is over-rated anyway! We're the same regarding the bank holidays at the moment but that may change. We are in such a multi-cultural area that we'll do 25th and 26th if the need is there. We'll play it by ear for the next few days and make a further decision if necessary. New Year's Eve is over-rated too and it will save you a hangover! Good luck and best wishes. Jane.x 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted December 14, 2021 #28418 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Thank you to all those of you working for or volunteering to help the NHS with the vaccination programme. I hope you do not meet any nasty "customers"! Just received another early phone call from my daugther can I have my granddaughter again today as she still isn't feeling well. I have a Tesco click and collect order booked for this morning and am meeting friends for a cuppa this afternoon. Then this evening the family are taking Mum out for a meal as it's her birthday. So a busy day ahead! Still mild down here at 12oC so not feeling cold. Hope everyone that has been feeling poorly is on the road to recovery. Take care and stay safe. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian1 Posted December 14, 2021 #28420 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Our daughter is 39 this weekend and we are all going to Centre parcs in Suffolk.She was a bit concerned that we still want to go.We said we will.It's not like Butlins with everyone crammed in a buffet.It's just like the High st with pubs and restaurants dotted around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted December 14, 2021 #28421 Share Posted December 14, 2021 The highlight of the day for us is going to a PCR test this afternoon. I woke up this morning with a cough, sneezing, sore throat, upset stomach and the worst headache ever. My vision is not affected so I know that it is not a migraine but I have taken my migraine medication just in case but it has made no difference. I have done a LFT which has shown up negative but as they are not very accurate and we have had contact with my niece's husband who now has covid I thought that we should get a PCR to be sure rather than take the risk of potentially spreading it further. My other niece has gone into hospital this morning to have a mastectomy, her surgeon rang her yesterday and asked who she would like to be on the theatre team because he knows her well and some of her colleagues knew that she was on today's list and had asked to be on the team. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
