Covid

I’ve had 6 jabs but the last one was a year ago so I was overdue. The last time I had the antivirals they made me quite sick and upset my stomach so I am risking not having them. So far I just feel like I have a nasty cold and headache. This is my third dose of it. Ah well, them’s the breaks, as they say.

Oh nanna8 what lousy timing, I hope you don’t feel too bad and can still enjoy your Christmas.
Our granddaughter has a revolting cold, she tested before staying her on Friday.

Not good catching covid at any time. As yet we havent had covid which is good as dh on chemo but so many folk ill. Baby in our street has seemingly just spent 3 nights in hospital. Hope folk keep well.

"No one here is testing any more and anyway I think it’s changed........." Bluebell, can I ask where 'here' is please?

No one here is testing any more and anyway I think it’s changed as last time I m absolutely sure I had it I d given a Downs lad a hug the day before he went down with it and then felt exactly the same as when I last had it but tested negative my boss sure as eggs is eggs had it, very poorly but tested negative
Some families are testing negative and positive when all ill with the same symptoms
I won’t test again

Hope you feel loads better by Tuesday Nana8

I am so lucky our friends always do a covid test still before they come to visit as I am 'at risk'. When out we still wear our masks if we feel particularly vulnerable. I am frustrated at the unkind comments we get and people laughing because of masks. I wish people would think before commenting as no one knows if they have a serious illness etc necessitating them to still having to keep protected.

I agree Tiley. I am severely immunocompromised and must test if I suspect I have Covid. I need to do so to obtain antivirals, which in my case, must be done in hospital.

Are you still having Covid booster jabs in Oz nanna?

What a rotten shame for you.
Sending kindest thoughts and lots of positive healing vibes

Thanks you lot- cheered me up! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Going to be a lovely day on Christmas Day, too, was planning having a dip in daughter’s pool. Still, might have put them off their dinners with the look of me in a swimsuit!

Get well soon, nanna8 Such a bummer at Christmas.

We’ve been hit by the respiratory infection that’s going around. I was supposed to be hosting a pre Christmas lunch today but three family members have gone down with it so we’ve all been frantically messaging each other from early this morning trying to make the right decision.

I’ve called it off so I now have to find room in the freezer for a joint of pork and other goodies.

Oh dear. As long as it only feels like a sore throat and tiredness that's not too bad. I had that when I apparently had COVID and it only felt like a slight cold and only lasted a few days. Fingers crossed for you!

Oh poor you, nanna8- rubbish timing. Get well soon.
