Two weeks after testing positive I'm now over the worst of it, as is Mrs S - I was placed on a 'virtual ward' from day 3 onwards for a week or so, having to submit my oximeter O2 readings twice a day, and being phoned by a doctor literally within minutes if I registered 94% or below (was as low as 85% at one point and touch and go whether I had to go into Gloucester Royal - thankfully not).
But I'm pleased to report that the fever, stabbing headaches and pains all over my body - including my hands and lower arms ffs! - are now all gone, leaving me still rather breathless, and with a cough and fatigue. If you've never experienced fatigue before - and I now know I hadn't - imagine going to bed tired, sleeping for 8 hours and then waking up even more tired. Thankfully that is easing too but it will still be a while before I'll be able to work again - my concentration is all over the place. All this despite having been double-jabbed.
Managed to take the dog around the cemetery next door earlier, which is when I discovered my sense of smell had returned .
