Be careful what you wish for

Last year March/April I went to visit my youngest daughter and grandkids and two days in went down with Covid which went through all of us (6) so a weeks holiday in my bedroom This year march / April they all came on a brief visit to me the day after returning they all went down with Covid !
Get well soon it will pass and soon be a bad dream

Thank you. I feel a right moaning Minnie. I’m irritable and fed up, it’ll pass 🤞
Mum has carers coming in and doesn’t get up until 2pm these days. Once the better weather comes and she can sit outside things should improve.
She can’t hear well enough to talk on the phone for long but I will look into something before next winter comes, it’s been a long one. Thank you for the suggestion.

At least you tested and are now keeping away from people many don't bother anymore.
Hopefully it will be a short time I was negative within a few days last time

Poor you and husband! You must both be feeling so low. We think covid has diminished but not so. Take some time if you can to rest, read a book, and appreciate the things you do have like family, grandchildren, nature etc. My friend had a bad year medically in 2022, covid twice, hospital for a kidney infection, etc. Now in 2023 she is feeling drained as she has had covid again and says she has brain fog. Can you get any help with your mother? You need to look after yourselves. Is there a local volunteer centre or telephone befriending service that could help your mother? Take care.
