Her Doctors and Nurses need to have a Very Hard Look at his medical transitions!  Emergencies happen even in times of crisis.  Would they have waited had it been his heart, a stroke, appendixs?

[Yorkshire Girl]

Thanks for the update Jaypo. I'm thinking of JD & OH and hope they all come out of this ok. It really doesn't seem right that he's now had three hospital admissions, as for the AB you have to finish the course not just stop because infection has gone, ridiculous.

Sending healing wishes and positive thoughts to Jill and her DH.

Hopefully we'll get some positive news soon.

Ah right now I understand. Coronaviruses are common.

Very very common! They've been with us a long time. We almost definitely have all had Coronavirus at some point. Covid19 is a new strain.

Hi there - this appears to be some confusion so I've done a post in Other Health Discussion clarifying it here:
https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,47582.0.html

We have not had what is now called "coronavirus" (unless we've had Covid-19 and this has been confirmed through a test taken while we had it). This is a blanket term being antibody test purchased in bulk by the Goivt last week and currently being trialled at the moment to see if it is accurate.

The word or illness "coronavirus" is not used for the colds etc caused by other members of this virus group - except in discussion to say that the new virus around at the moment is a type of coronavirus.

Hi everyone.
Just to say a big Thank You to you all for thinking and sending best wishes, and hugs to me and my OH. it's been a very long 11 days. Just horrendous tbh.

The latest is, he's been tested for covid, it?ll take 2/3 days for the results.
He's on oxygen, been given a full bottle of paracetamol, and anti sickness drugs, plus an injection in his stomach which was an anti clotting drug. He's also been given a massive amount of antibiotics, ( his words) intravenously. Don't know why yet, I suspect the infection is back, but won't know until tomorrow when he sees the doc. Afterall, they don't give out AB for nothing do they, and we all know, you can't treat  covid19 with it, so we?ll have to wait and see.
He's tired, very weak, but now he's more relaxed, he said he doesn't have to worry now about  his temperature, or drinking now, because it's done for him. ( he's on a drip) so that's a big worry off him. Whether he?ll need a ventilator, which the doc suspects he might, remains to be seen. .....what do they say? Third time lucky? ....yep. .....He's in the QE Birmingham.
I'm wrecked, anxiety working it's way up, and every little cough, or something, I worry I have it. I cry when I'm on my own. I have to. Then I carry on. You have to. I have my MIL living here too, we've done all we can to protect her, so far so good. We've been over the top with killing germs, it seems that way anyway, but we don't care, it's what we feel we've have to do. it's making us germ freaks! But hey,ho. ....I?ll up date when I hear anthing else, we have to wait to hear news from phone calls, as the hospital is in lockdown, which is hard, we can't even go up to see him.
Thanks again. Means a lot. Xxxxxxxx

Thanks so much Birdy. Xxxx

Hi jillydoll,

Thanks for the update. You're doing the right thing and he's in the right place. You're probably not going to relax/sleep for a while, but try to think about yourself and look after your mental and physical health. Brave girl ✊🏻 Huge hug 🤗

BeaR.

JD

you?re amazing, I'd be a crumpled wreck by now.  Please look after yourself too and I really hope things start going yours and OH way now

Big hugs xx

[Countrygirl]

Jillydoll, good to hear things are coming together. You are an amazing woman, sending you hugs and positive thoughts, look after yourself 🤗 x

[CLKD]

Tnx for the update - I too would be crumpled long B4 this, good explanation  Annie

[Two hoots]

The not being able to visit must be difficult, but he's in the best place even though it's been a long road to get there.

A little improvement every day and he'll be home soon 

You are coping brilliantly

Just saw I lady in the supermarket having a bit of a strop because she wasn't allowed 4 loaves.
She said she was shopping for her neighbours but was still refused.
You are only allowed 2 loaves but she said she would then probably have to make another shopping trip thus putting more people at risk. it's difficult for all but you've got to follow the rules.

I am also shopping for my neighbour and I'm in the same position. She wants their weekly shop and so do I but that's just the way it is. We will make do.

[CLKD]

Maybe ring forwards with your lists and book a slot to collect them, either from the shelves or via a personal shopper that some stores are providing?

Or get the neighbour to ring to confirm that you will be shopping for them?  There should be give/take!

If I shopped for a neighbour (as might happen), i would have to make 2 trips simply because I couldn't fit it all in my bag/trolley at one time.
