loriusgarrulus Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 One thing you do have to careful of with viral infections is not trying to do too much too soon. ME can be set off by doing that and can take years to get right from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel b3 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 covid19 daily update from tipton. GREAT SUCCESS !!! for the first time in a week , im wearing pants and socks, and i was able to brush all of my teeth , . im a winner . following my crash yesterday morning , i slept in the chair for hours . i woke up at around teatime ish , and the feeling of being ill had almost completely left me , i still felt physically damaged , but i didnt feel ill. i had a very good night sleep (with the help of a small amount of nightnurse) , and woke up this morning feeling pretty damned good . i still have the two bob bits , and a slight temperature , so i know that im not completely better , but my immediate death hasn't crossed my mind for almost 24 hours , so im sure that im well on the mend . wednesday is weigh day , so lin and myself hopped on the scales this morning , lin has lost 4lb (weight that she really didnt have to lose) , and ive lost 7lb . that just goes to show that the covid weight loss plan really does work something that this week has made me realize , is that covid isnt just a bad cold , covid physically damages you . covid19 only brushed passed me , and left me feeling like i was going to die , i can only feel massive sympathy for the people that its really grabbed hold of. i no longer have the feeling of being ill , but my body feels like the time that i dumped my motorbike at 80mph , every fibre of my body feels damaged , and i have that smell in my nose(you know that smell you get when you injure yourself). lins condition has worsened slightly , and shes having a day in front of the tv , and im looking after her today , with a bit of luck , shell be feeling better in a few days , or my my cooking may put us both in hospital . my sister is still in hospital , but shes off oxygen , and is eating and drinking . hopefully , shell be well enough to come home soon. thank you to everyone for your concern , and for the advice , and offers of help . its nice to know that people still care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily it’s “only a cold and most people don’t die so it’s not really worth worrying about.” I hope some people take it more seriously now they’ve read your account of how it can get hold of you. It’s a nasty virus that I really don’t want to get!! hope you both recover quickly, all the best, Medic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel b3 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 I've just had a very worrying conversation with my nephew . My sister has taken a rapid turn for the worse , her oxygen levels have dropped, so she's back on oxygen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchap Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hope your getting there Mel, I haven't been on here lately, went back to work last week managed an hour before it was like someone had pulled the power cord out. I just felt the energy draining away. Not a problem if I wasn't on the back of my truck as the next thing I know the lads are slapping me round the face. I passed out and just missed the 1 ton pipe rack I had on the back. One of them said I saw you swaying from side to side then you just went and your head missed that rack by inches. Back at home now. and they don't want me back until I am 100% the boss gave me a right rollicking all he cares about is his insurance. Wife took a good look at me when they dropped me home. pinched the skin on the back of my hand and it stayed up. Sure sign of dehydration apparently. I am now pretty busted up from hitting the truck bed. Anyway Mel take my advice mate even if you feel ok like I did don't risk it. Give it another week.

That's not sounding too good at all , I hope things start getting better for you soon mate. I'd already got next week off work (as I'd worked all over Christmas ), I was hoping that I'd be doing a bit of shooting, but the best laid plans and all that 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatchap Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) But on a slightly better note, I went to bed last around 10 slept all the way through to 7 when my bladder woke me up back to bed then carried on sleeping till midday and I felt pretty damn fine all day. Took the pooch out for a walk with no incident. Sleep seems to be the way forward and lots of it. Edited January 20, 2021 by fatchap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling pretty great today thanks mate , I've still got a slight covid hangover , but I'm itching to get out for a bit of exercise now. I'm not sure on Lins condition at the moment as she's still asleep, in fact, she's slept for most of the last 24 hours , so hopefully that'll help her .
