Just to say husband and I are two weeks into Covid-19 and although we are poorly have avoided hospital, and worse.
I have dreaded this outcome for twelve months and now feel so relieved we've weathered it I want to give thanks. I wish I believed in a higher power to whom I could offer up my thoughts. Just that really, a bit emotional I think.

Best wishes to you both Ninarosa, I’m not a bit surprised that you are feeling emotional.

Such a worrying time, especially with both of you being ill.
Best wishes for a complete recovery ?

It was good of you to take the trouble to start this thread Ninarosa.

It is great to hear from a couple who are recovering well as all we hear on the news is about those seriously ill, and worse, in hospital.

We all know by now that the vast majority of people who contract the virus have very mild symptoms and make a full recovery, but we never hear about them do we ?

Exactly - we never hear about the vast vast majority of people who recover.
The media is too focused on the worst case scenario. But I guess they have to.

Thank you for starting this thread. I wish you all the best and glad to hear that you are getting well. I understand that it would be quite emotional to catch it and hearing all the morbid news on tv. That in itself is worrying for anyone and then to catch and wonder if you will get worse would be quite scary. Then the relief of coming through it. So glad to hear some positivity

I am really pleased that you are both on the mend it must have been really frightening.
My eldest son & daughter in law are into their 2nd week and are slowly feeling better thank goodness I felt awful not being able to help them in any way.

Sorry to hear that you both caught the virus but glad to hear that you are recovering well. I’m sure you are emotional right now. Take care of yourselves as you recover.

So good to know that you and your husband are recovering from what must have been a frightening experience. Wishing you continuing good progress.
If Travelsafar is reading this, you remain in my thoughts. I hope you are feeling better now and have support as you grieve for your husband.

B9exchange From the Government website the figure 3,505 actually refers to the number of people ventilated. Patients admitted to hospital, latest figures 405,808 and currently in hospital 29,326.

Best wishes and get well soon to you both. I had Covid back in April and I was asymptomatic however I have been left with 18 legs in the morning that I presume is some form of long Covid as my doctor has done blood tests and cannot find anything else wrong...?

Shinamae Sat 06-Feb-21 21:43:15

Aching legs!!!!......??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️

Shinamae Sat 06-Feb-21 21:43:39
