Since the beginning of the Covid outbreak we have been shielding my old mum 88, disinfecting everything including mail and shopping items before she touched them.
She then had a fall at home injuring her ribs and taken to hospital. After 5 hours in
A&E she was sent home with a diagnosis of bruised ribs.
2 days later she was back at the hospital with very low oxygen intake due to taking very short breaths because of the pain, so then they discover she has 3 broken ribs was kept in and put on oxygen.
In a space of 7 days while at the hospital she caught Covid, got a lung infection and sadly
passed away on monday. My brother had visited her in hospital and has now been tested positive and his girlfriend too. My sister who my mum lived with and her husband are waiting for test results but have no symptoms so far. I had an appointment to go and see her for yesterday (tues. 1 day too late).
My first reaction was of anger blaming the hospital which I still feel but not as strongly now.
It just goes to show that even after all the efforts you put in, it only needs one split second for your world to be turned upside down with this Covid shit.
I saw Covid as something in the news that didnt really concern me but its not as easy as that.
So all of you out there especially fellow dinos, take extra care as this shit doesnt take prisoners.
Stay Safe
