As I said, it was only a difficult 24 hours. Just find it strange that you would rush to a half day work on the day your Mrs tests positive Cant see you winning husband of the year this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She still felt well enough to walk the dogs, said she felt better getting out. Thanks for your concern, much appreciated. PS After almost 44 years married I don't need to enter competitions to be a decent husband. 🤣 Edited September 22, 2023 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddieinEK Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Latest guidelines for Health and Social Care workers are that anyone testing positive should self isolate for 5 days, the day following the test being day 1. They are furthermore advised to avoid direct contact with vulnerable people for a further 5 days as the virus can remain communicable for up to 10 days and can still have serious consequences for vulnerable people.

faraway saint Posted September 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 My workplace is well-ventilate and, no other colleagues are within 10 meters during the working day. Some businesses are well placed to get on with life. From the Coronavirus (Covid 19) in Scotland page. Rules and restrictions There are no COVID-19 rules or restrictions in Scotland. We are now living with COVID-19 as one of a number of respiratory infections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you think why people bother training as doctors. I worked with a chap who had attended Fettes, Edinburgh Uni and Oxford where he got a first. He was as near to genius as anyone I have ever met - but if he ever went to the doctor he carried an armful of files detailing every doctor's comments and his own comments on his visits. Afterwards he would spend his lunch hour at his desk correcting the diagnosis. He sadly passed at a comparatively young age. Be warned young man.

antrin Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 “Young”?! Fartaway’s more likely to perish from an overload of commas! A blizzard of THREE commas to befuddle a sentence of barely a dozen words. That’s certainly not Fettes, Edinburgh Uni and Oxford! Or even Camphill.

Thankfully just heavy cold like symptoms. Between him, my daughter and granddaughter they've proved positive 11 times since this shitty virus appeared. As my daughter works with vulnerable people she's had to take time off work to protect her clients. Fortunately they've all only experienced the cold/flu type symptoms. I'm due my booster later this month. 👍 On 9/21/2023 at 7:59 AM, faraway saint said: So, after managing to avoid covid when it was rife, it finally got me. My symptoms were slight cough, sore throat, aching joints and constant nausea, although it never progressed to vomiting. Fortunately these symptoms only lasted 24 hours and today I've only a little bit of a sore throat, cough and slight ache in certain areas but, all in all, I'm, fingers crossed, past the worst. Back to work tomorrow. 👍 18 hours ago, faraway saint said: Still not 100%, luckily today I finish at one so I should get through it and rest up over the weekend. Cough and sore throat and tired. Unfortunately Mrs Faraway has caught it so hopefully it'll be passed the worst in 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what exactly you're getting at as earlier you made a similar comment seemingly questioning my decision that I was fit enough to consider going to work and indicating I should have consulted a GP? Really, consult a GP to make a decision if I was fit enough to return to work? Don't you think doctors have enough to do? As for your sweet anecdotal story, here's another. I knew a person who lived to a decent age of 89 and never had the flu jab. That proves, as does your rambling story, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Almost back to normal now, next to no symptoms although still a wee bit tired. I have had a busy morning, walked two dogs, been shopping and hung out the washing. Does this get me back in the running for husband of the year @HSS?

faraway saint Posted October 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Jason Leitch, who became a bit of a TV celebrity during the terrible Covid period, was deleting his WhatsApp communications on a daily basis.

faraway saint Posted February 19 Author Report Share Posted February 19 Another drama hits the screen tonight on ITV, Breathtaking. Doubt I'll watch it, I don't need reminding of that period of my life, best left in the past. For those who do want to tune in, 9:00pm.
