It was appalling. But I was treated very well by staff. But I feel compromised after taking such care to shield. And all my family have kept away. My husband is being so careful, not going into shops etc. I’m not even allowed to answer the door! The only outing I have had is going to my dad’s funeral and that was only for 3 of us because of me. Everyone else watched it streamed or recorded.
I was not considered clinically vulnerable by the government based on the meds I take when well. I was advised to shield by the doctors because of my medical history. Twice in the last 5 years hospitalised following minor respiratory infections, requiring oxygen etc. I’m taking the maximum amount of my inhalers at the moment as the doctor doesn’t want to give me oral steroids as they compromise your immune system. But asthma gives you no priority with this government. Too expensive. Too many people have asthma, even in my case life threatening. I now feel worried I’ve been exposed to covid. Just to get a vaccine. I feel I should have turned round, gone home, cancelled and rebooked elsewhere. I had to travel half an hour and the other alternatives weren’t nearer. I will relax if I’m ok in a few days. If I’m not they they will insist that I had covid before having the vaccine, I bet. Sorry for the rant.
