DH in hospital with Covid

Another late comer... just wanted to send more Covid secure virtual (((hugs))) and pollen free I hope you both recover quickly. As you said you must turn the corner soon.

Get well soon, both of you

?

Just caught up here OP and want to say I hope you both stay strong. ?

I can't thank you all enough for the support you've given me today. You're all very special people.

I know we’re all stressed, but this is exactly what paramedics are trained for. They do a job which puts them constantly on the edge...the same as those working in A and E. I could understand it more, if they’d taken people who usually work in clinics for example....and sent them out to deal with emergencies! It would overwhelm them. There was no excuse for this. Non medical people are bound to be more frightened, than those working in medicine. What a horrible experience for you VQ. Hope you and your husband are soon feeling better.

I beg to differ.
I think that we are in the most perilous state at present.
Things are much more grim than they were in the Spring, and the public aren't prepared for it or up for it.
You have little idea what front line workers are dealing with at present.
There is only so much that people can take.
We are the cusp of something very worrying.
We need to show some support and empathy to people who are doing such difficult jobs to save our very lives
They are not angels. Where is the clapping and banging of pots now? What a blooming joke that was.

Just caught up with this vq what a frightening and difficult time for you both, you must be exhausted. Your DH is now home so try to have some rest and drink plenty of liquids. Sending you and your DH very best wishes, your DH will rest better in his own bed.

Very good news Vampirequeen

Good news, vq.
Wishing you both well with your recovery.

Your, not tour

Vampirequeen Just caught up and so pleased to hear that tour husband is now home.
Take care of yourselves.

Sending love and hugs for you at this difficult time.

So sorry to read of your troubles vq. A worrying nightmare situation for you both. Glad to hear you are together again at home and can comfort each other. Hopefully you will both regain your health and strength very soon

I'm just catching up on GN today.
What a nightmare you've had!
Glad to see that your husband is back home.
Wishing you both well and feeling much better very soon. xxx

Good news VQ

Aw, quite a traumatic day for you VQ - hope you both recover soon.

For future, regarding your running out of Paracetamol, your local pharmacy could have delivered some for you; if you don't have a pharmacy nearby, Boots online are also very useful and usually deliver very quickly, but I know it's hard to think straight when you're ill, particularly if both of you are stricken.

Good to know your husband is home vampirequeen, I hope you will both begin to feel better very soon .

Very pleased to hear your DH is back home vampirequeen and you feel calmer now. Hope you will be turning that corner soon. ??

Thanks for updating us, good to know he's home x

Just catching up, so sorry to read about your awful experience and glad he’s home now. Hope you’re both on the mend soon. I see there a few people in this thread with onugoing health issues, sending positive thoughts to you all.

Pleased your husband is now home vampirequeen and hope you both turn the corner soon.

It’s good to hear your DH is home and you can rest and recuperate together vampirequeen. It’s been a rough few days for you both and I hope a full recovery and better times are ahead for you both.

Thanks everyone. DH is home and I've calmed down.

I still think the ambulance crew were out of order but I know they're under so much pressure and having a known Covid sufferer in the ambulance would mean that it would need a thorough clean before they could use it again....more work for them. I don't think it was fair that they took their exhaustion/frustration out on us but who knows how long they'd been on duty or what else had happened on that and previous shifts. That said they didn't act professionally or give the appropriate level of care. To make it worse they didn't listen to DH when he told them he was going to vomit and so they had that to clean up too.

But that's in the past now. DH is home. We know that the bleeding was 'only' a burst blood vessel at the entrance to his lungs and, fingers crossed, we'll start to feel better soon. We've had this for 8 days so surely we'll turn the corner soon. We're trying to look on the bright side. We've been poorly but not nearly as poorly as some.

I really appreciate all the support you've given me.

Glad your husband is coming back today and I hope you recover soon.

I can see callistemom's POV.

While their behaviour was not very professional, I guess that ambulances - in general- trying to weed out who really needs to go to the hospital vs fakers vs who are not sick enough to go to the hospital, given how overwhelmed the medical system is now

Medical workers have seen the unthinkable for almost a year. I would cut them some slack, they are human too

Best wishes to Mr & Mrs vampirequeen and to Mr & Mrs travesafar. Speedy recoveries to all.
I can see cases escalating in the next few days following Christmas day meet ups so we need to take care of ourselves.
