Only just seen this post! Well done!
How are you now?
I seem to be on the mend, sleep is good and temp, bg etc all ok. Cough is still there but I expect it to hang around, and I still get tired mid-afternoon. Otherwise, I'm good
How are you doing?
I'm much better. Did a little housework today. Still have a slight dry cough but nothing much really. The worst thing about the cough is that it reminds me how ill I was when the virus was at its worst. Still tired, but mostly mid afternoon like you. Slept through last night. I'm glad you are managing to sleep too.
I had a phone call from a young medic who had it. He said he is still tired.
Thank goodness for that.Just had a video chat with my grandson he's fine now I am going to fetch him home on
Friday.
Good morning. How's things?Glad you're faring well, I guess we just roll with the punches now
Good morning. How's things?
Today is the first day when I feel I can say I am well. So rather than day 37 I will call it day 1. Now I need to get back to 'just' being T2 and daring to check my bloods.
My sore throat came on very suddenly. At around the same time it felt like I had glass in my eyes for around 24 hours. I gargled with salt water as I normally do with sore throats and bathed the eyes with Optrex. Not sure either did any good but I felt I needed to do something!
Sounds like it could be the virus. Let us know how you are in a couple of days maybe? I saw an article this morning that said that scientists now believe the virus stays in the air for longer than first thought and also that it travels more than 2 metres.
There may be some support for students still on campus, I know that my daughter was contacting all her tuttees and the students on her course to make sure they were ok. Could your grandson maybe set up a WhatsApp or zoom link with his friends, and one with his family? Maybe he’s already done this. I feel for him left on an empty campus@zand don't know about how @JonBoy1199 is feeling right now but my grandson is still feeling pretty low.
And he is stuck on his own in Lincoln in the student accommodation all the staff have gone most of the other students have gone the University is pretty well shut down so I worry depression especially after a viral infection like that can really get to you.
Oh that's good news about your son too. Really pleased for you and so glad your grandson is home and well.@Fairygodmother thanks for your post but I fetched him home this morning as every thing Uni related is on line at the moment he can do that from here and as it's almost 100% certain from his symptoms that he has had the virus and recovered he is reasonably safe to be home now.
Edit to add we had been chatting via whats-app on occasion and with my son who was confined to his room down in Oxford but he has been able to go out again from today.
