God damn it, I've got covid.
|
|
I'm in the shielding group and had my vaccine months ago because I have to inject a bio-drug for my arthritis.
I have been SO fucking careful and fastidious to the point where my brother (in my bubble) thinks I'm OCD. As I explained to him, it's because I kind of enjoy living.
This week I've been out 4 times. Once to Highgate cemetery (maybe I should have stayed there?) to take some pictures, twice to the gym (where I very carefully wash the machines down before and after using them) and once for a walk to the West End via Regent's Park.
On the way home from the walk TWO dirty cunts more or less coughed in my face which prompted me to say 'oi you dirty cunt, what are you fucking doing'?
They scurried away without saying anything and my missus hates me causing a scene so I left it at that.
For the last couple of days I've a (bit of a) chesty cough and vomited a couple of times. I've had the sweats too and felt like I didn't have much energy.
It hasn't even been THAT bad because I was contemplating going to the gym tonight to try and sweat it out.
Anyway, missus said I ought to do a covid test as I've got loads from the chemist who virtually throws them at me and it came up positive within 30 seconds. I waited an hour, did another one and the same thing happened.
Mrs Chim did one and it's negative but she's as fit as fuck and eight years younger than me so I sent her out to Morrisons before it all comes on top.
So, 55 years old, compromised immune system arthritis and portal hypertension but still takes a load of opioid medicine and puts a shift in at the gym Vs the delta variant. I'm expecting a WHO sweepstake.
Put me down for next Tuesday at about 4PM. If I win I want a nice wreath in claret and blue.
I'll keep you posted.

I've got 22nd July at 11am in the sweepstake.
But it's OK because it's 22nd July 2066

Shit. I hope you’re ok Chim, and you fight it off with aplomb. I think sadly a lot of other people also shielding are going to find themselves in this situation in the coming weeks and months.
Cunt of a virus.

I worry for my Dad.
He is undergoing chemo at the moment and has to take take public transport to get to St Thomas's for the sessions. Even for last week's one he noticed that the majority on his bus weren't wearing masks.
Freedom day is precisely the opposite for anyone shielding/immuno compromised.

Cheers chaps. It honestly doesn't feel that bad though particularly after a blood clot in the bowel, breaking my tibia and fibula, catching a tropical flesh-eating disease, being baseball-batted round the head, attacked with a hammer and stabbed twice!
Pretty sure I'm going to be alright. Sitting here fairly placidly with 20mgs of Oxycodone and a vodka and lemonade.
Just another stupid episode in a fairly stupid life x

I totally get where you're coming from. The vulnerable are getting chucked under the bus.
Hope your dad is okay mate.

Chim, I’m complete opposite of you. Never given a fuck, never taken any precautions. Similar age although not any other high risk factors. Caught it last Sunday at euro final...feel over it now apart from slight headache and cough and sure you will be fine in a couple of days if you’re vaccined. I live in jersey and literally everyone has it here now although hardly any seriously ill. Good luck fella.
