Good morning Mick and all.
Not much time to post.
I have Covid and am off to hospital in an hour for an anti-viral infusion, fast tracked by the NHS.
I cannot fault the support, I have had, the phone was red hot yesterday afternoon. It has all become a bit complicated, due to my medication and multiple comorbidities.
All I will say is that the hospital pharmacist, let out a huge sigh, when she read the list of medication, I am on and saw my many drug allergies!
Unfortunately, the first line anti virals are no use for me, as they will contra-indicate with some of my medication. I have to have suitable second level ones in a day ward and be monitored.
After ten days of negative LFTs, and a negative one yesterday morning, I thought I had got away with it. However, I decided to do another one at lunchtime, as I wasn't feeling too good. For those of you, who pray, please say one for me. I am feeling ropey, to say the least.
After numerous phone calls, I have managed to contact the clinician, who treated me on Tuesday. I feel so bad about that, but the Track and Trace people, and hospital staff reassured me, that I had followed all the guideline given to DH about what I should do and not do.
They thanked me for my calls and said that I was unusual, many patients don't bother.
Hopefully all will go well, but I must admit to be feeling quite anxious, going on past experiences of new meds. MrMD, is improving and we have been advised that he can accompany me, as the hospital is on the other side of the river, but obviously wait in the car. Who knows, I may do my usual and surprise everyone!
I never thought that I would be grateful he had Covid! Quite ironic really.
