Oh Bugger


As soon as I got home,
I started to have some symptoms of covid and am now on full lockdown
No cough but spiked a temp, joint pain and now loose stools and have a mild hangover feeling
Worried about the dogs a bit
Have been referred for rapid testing which is fabulous
Off to have a sleep, if this is the sum of my experience of covid
I hope I have it
Hey ho

  65. I've suspected all week that I may have picked up the virus, and your symptoms match my own. I'm not sure how this has happened since I haven't left the house since I was discharged from hospital at the beginning of February.

  67. Look after yourself and don’t try and be brave and do a Boris if it starts to get worse .... get thee to hospital. It’s a bit of a Catch 22 ..... one wants to get it mildly to hopefully get antibodies but one obviously doesn’t want a bad dose of it. Sending virtual hugs and that you will feel better tomorrow.
