Hard times.....🥴😷🤒

[Jell6]

I have not been on the forum for few days and realise that I have missed a few posts plus Oldfloss had a big birthday , happy belated birthday Floss🎂🎁

So why this post?

Well this is day 6 of my self isolation due to a cough, and I have just had my swab results back confirming what I thought. Covid-19!

I am going to thank running for having me in my best shape ever to deal with this.

So far I feel okay, I don't think I have had the worst symptoms, certainly it could be worse. I'm missing running, and I am fed up in the small area of the house that I have allowed myself into, but again this could worse.

I think in my line of work it was bound to happen, a couple of my colleagues are also positive....

Please keep safe yourselves and keep your social distancing.

Ohhhhh hek jell6 you're right at the sharp end 😬 you'll come through this though chuck, you'll be lacing up your trainers before you know it you'll see 👍

Take care and mend quickly 🙏

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Hidden , that made me smile.

I have been telling my husband I'm okay for days now, even though he felt I looked like I've been dug up. Seems he was right. X

[Hidden in reply to Jell6]

Seeeee sometimes us hubbies are quite wise 🤫 Mrs Wife is quite at the sharp end like yourself she's a HCA but I guess she's close enough to permit worrying about.

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

We should all be cautious.

Wash hands, PPE if you can get it.

Hope you all remain well.

I'm just wondering how to tell my mother without her becoming hysterical!

[Hidden in reply to Jell6]

Eeeeeeeek don't mention the hand washing my hands are in bits with constant Washing 😭 Mrs Wife came home the other day and needed to vent ....... About having to teach a consultant how to wash his hands properly!!!!

As for your mother situation errrr good luck

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I think I'll need it!

[littlemac24 Graduate]

Oh no Jell6. Sending you much love and hoping you are well again soon 🤗xx

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to littlemac24]

Thank you littlemac24 I hope so too.

Honestly this is so widespread, I was already borderline obsessed with hand washing.

Take care 😘

Thanks, I'm catching up on reading and prime tv shows, and sleeping ( a lot!)

Take care. X

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Jell6]

You too.... xxxx

[HeavyFoot Graduate]

All the very best for your recovery Jell6 👍. I’ve no idea how you tell your mother.

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to HeavyFoot]

I'm just going to have to tell her, I have avoided her for a few days now as she always manages to know things.....🧙‍♀️

[ktsok Graduate]

Hells bells Jells. OK. Tell your mother that now you will have immunity and so she won't have to worry about you catching it.

Bugger. Rest up. Drink lots of fluids. Let your husband wait on you hand and foot. The roads, tracks and fields will wait for you. As will we.

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to ktsok]

That's a pretty good sell!.

I will take that line I think, and you are right, the runs will wait.

I am also so mindful of how much worse this is for many.

Take care 😘

[ktsok Graduate in reply to Jell6]

Thinking of you GaJelle. X

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to ktsok]

Thanks, I've told her, as I suspected it did not go well.

But.... I did what you suggested, and I think she was a little reassured! 😘

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to ktsok]

Great advice there

[Nilsam Graduate]

Take care of yourself, Jell6. Thinking of you. Running will be there when you get well again.

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Thank you 😘

[Sar9 Graduate]

Scary, wishing you a speedy recovery!

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Sar9]

It is scary, I have tried to stop reading the news!😱

Goodness knows when we are going to get back to some semblance of normality.

[Sar9 Graduate in reply to Jell6]

Not any time soon I don’t think 😔 I don’t watch the news as it’s just stressful! Try and make the most of the downtime

[Roxdog Graduate]

Take care, rest, just look after yourself and run when you are fully better! For now, it's all about resting! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Thanks, I have never been any good at resting, but no choice at the moment 😶

[lexi6 Graduate]

Oh no Jell, so sorry to hear this. Hope you feel better soon. X 💐

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to lexi6]

Hope so too. Stay well lexi 😘

[AliHC Graduate]

Thinking of you Jell6 ❤️

Your running has been paramount to your health and fitness level, which will in turn get you through this incredibly difficult time!

Keep on posting even though you're not running at the moment! We care xxx

[Jell6 Graduate]

Thank you AliHC , I think you are right about baseline fitness coming into this. I have just heard today that 2 of my colleagues have also tested positive, and both seem to be experiencing some degree of breathing difficulties.

Worrying times indeed, thank you for your kindness 😘

[AliHC Graduate in reply to Jell6]

❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
