Worried about Covid

[Kels78]

My mum is a nurse in the community and works in an office. Someone from her office has gone off sick with Covid. Tonight my mum did 2 lateral flow tests as she has been feeling unwell, all the symptoms bad cough, aches and pains and the tests came back positive. My mum is in her early 60s and has asthma and I’m so worried for her. We don’t live in the same household I have my own family but I can’t stop thinking and worrying despite her having had the 2 vaccines. She is awaiting results of her PCR test as I advised her to go to the drive through in our area. I don’t think I’m going to sleep well tonight she sounded so bad on the phone, constantly coughing.

Oh Kels78, I'm sorry your mom is feeling so ill. The fact that she has had her 2 shotshopefully will mean she will fight this virus better. Wishing her well soon. xx

Hi Agora thank you for your kind wishes. She is now confirmed positive. I had Covid myself last year and now I’m fine but I always worried about how it would affect my mum if she got it. I dropped a little “care package” off last night, oranges and vitamin drinks, aspirin and even mouthwash. I probably seem over bearing to my mum and I don’t want to make her anxious but I’m so worried.

You're a kind person and a good daughter... it's nice to hear your caring ... there are just so many people sick right now. And I too believe the 2 jabs will help.

Thank you, I keep trying to reassure myself that my friend’s mum has COPD and she fought off Covid. Its just a really scary time right now. I hate that its early days for her and it could go either way. I’m so sick of this horrible virus why can’t it just go away.

Good karma coming your way... all we can do is our best... just stay in touch, skype, what ever... that's most important I believe.

Thanks I keep telling myself the numbers are going down now but I have this fear always on the back of my mind that my mum won’t be one of the lucky ones. I don’t tell her that I try best to reassure her but she knows me and my sister are very worried.
