Alex 35000 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Actually when it happened I looked at my phone, somehow managed to compute you’d accidentally rang me in nightshift then rolled over and was asleep in less than 30 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fevers have stopped and now just feel fluey and wiped out. Work rules say I have to go back if negative on days 5&6 which is unlikely. I’m definitely off til at least a week today unless still testing positive next Wed. Having not had it until now it’s made me extremely grateful for the vaccine and boosters that I’ve had. And also reflect on seeing so many patients die at the beginning. It’s quite surreal ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42264 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Sorry Cath, but the shit fountain posts have had me snort-laughing ( Other than your Covid results, that’s a proper bastid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Hope you're doing OK Cath. Knocked me off my feet for about 4-5 days but lethargy has seemed to hang around longer than that.

Alex 35000 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 At the Freeman they’ve told staff who’ve tested positive they can go in if they aren’t symptomatic. As long as they wear a mask. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lass has started a community post now but some former colleagues told her. I think mask-wearing’s compulsory again anyway (it wasn’t for a good while). They stopped testing new admissions ages ago too. You’d be well pleased if you are a relative was in and they were letting staff they knew were covid positive looking after them.

catmag 336 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Yeah we only test new admissions if symptomatic but there’s been a few slipped through the net that have caused havoc once confirmed. I get that we have to live with it but also need to limit the spread amongst the most clinically vulnerable. And poor anaesthetic nurses who get roped into helping on wards when they’re short-staffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
