Thank you to my lovely boss who helped me through it over the phone. I don’t have a temperature and thatContinue reading “07/04/2020 Hmmph!”

06/04/2020 First day back at work
After nearly 2 weeks I went back to work today. Last night I had a fitful sleep, and by 5 am I was wide awake. It was a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Not so much about the work (I love my job, and my role is not front line patient care) it was moreContinue reading “06/04/2020 First day back at work”
05/04/2020 Post Viral Blues
Yesterday morning I was emotional but optimistic, I was symptom free for the second day and looking forward to being able to leave the house today, albeit just taking the dog out for a short walk.

Well I have woken up this morning albeit very early starting to feel normal after 10 ten days. My cough is now infrequent and the chest pain is diminished.

01/04/2020 My faith in humanity is confirmed
What a truly lovely bunch of people we all are. Over the past week I have witnessed how kind and compassionate people are.

31/03/2020 Day 7 of the symptoms

Last night was pretty rough too, I woke about 2 am with a cough, that just wouldn’t stop. IContinue reading “31/03/2020 Day 7 of the symptoms”
30/03/2020 Well yesterday was pretty rubbish
I mentioned yesterday that day 5 is apparently the peak. I hope it was, I don’t fancy repeating that again. After I wrote my entry yesterday I went back to bed and slept though to the afternoon. I had coughing fits all day, and felt generally awful. Now I know I am getting a mildContinue reading “30/03/2020 Well yesterday was pretty rubbish”
29/03/20 This is day 5, apparently it peaks at day 5
Yesterday I felt bored. I managed to watch 4 films and was bored out of my skull. This I my book was a good thing. This meant I was feeling better, which meant I was nearer recovering and getting back to work. So day 5 wasn’t going to be so bad after all. Well soContinue reading “29/03/20 This is day 5, apparently it peaks at day 5”
