Hi everyone. Update on OH.
Had to ring 111 again as he's really poorly.
Couldn't get in touch with anyone there, was in a queue, but they didn't say how many in front of us, so we rang 999.
Told the man what was going on, he asked if he could speak to my OH, so I took phone into him. He asked him a number of questions on how he was feeling!
OH told him he had a temperature of 39, (which has gone back up) he was sweating profusely, really bad headache, no taste, no smell, bad aches all over body, with pains too.
He asked if he had any breathing difficulties, OH said no, but felt almost 'stuffed up?, but since the fan was on in the bedroom, it was a bit better. ....what he didn't tell him was, he was shaking, couldn't even put his glass down without quivering, and seemed as if he wasn't all there, if you know what I mean. Anyway, the bloke said, You don't need an ambulance, you don't need to go to hospital. Carry on with the paracetamol.
So it seems, as long as you have NO breathing difficulties, you manage at home. Full stop!
I've NEVER seen him so poorly. And we've been together 36 years. Yes, he's had flu before, but not like this. I'm giving him electrolytes, and plenty to drink. He told me, he's having nightmares when he sleeps, and really vivid dreams, and when he closes his eyes all he sees is flashing lights.
The doctor on Radio Two today said, You don't always get a cough with Corona virus.
But everyone thinks you do. So please be aware, Most people do, but some don't. Just like my OH.
