You and your wife look after yourselves Stroudy.
Hope you and your wife have a quick recovery SG. All the best.Positive LFD test this morning and just confirmed via text by PCR too (I went to the walk-through yesterday as wifer was already ill with it).
Symptoms pretty much as others have described but with a MASSIVE headache - no chance of sleep, despite paras. I'm double jabbed natch but in a 'heightened risk' category for various reasons, so I'll just have to ride it out.
Have ordered an oximeter so i can monitor blood oxygen levels - this recommended by my GP. One of the joys of asthma - already feels like someone's standing on my chest.
Horrible. My daughter, who’s now also positive, has the same symptoms, although more acute such that we ended taking her to hospital last night (one of the exceptions to isolation is if it‘s a medical emergency) with the added bonus of Exeter not taking Covid patients so we had to go to Torbay. Which is great when she’s complaining of severe chest pains and struggling to breathe.Positive LFD test this morning and just confirmed via text by PCR too (I went to the walk-through yesterday as wifer was already ill with it).

Must have been worrying for you and your wife Ant, Hope your daughter recovers soon and that goes for the rest of you too.Horrible.

Anyway, eventually we got her home this morning after a series of tests meant the doctors were satisfied her breathing was under control so hopefully all’s good. As it is though SWMBO’s finishes her isolation tomorrow, I’m done, after suffering what appeared to be three day heavy cold, on Sunday and daughter’s free midweek next week.
Hopefully.
Hopefully you’re better soon too Stroudy, if for nothing else other than sanity’s sake. Isolations are no fun, especially if you’re in an at risk category.
