Isolation Day 1 by judithg

Isolation Day 1

24 hours since A came down with Covid and we have cracked open the Christmas jigsaw. The isolation made me feel a bit vulnerable this morning but my neighbour dropped round yoghurts and a rare packet of paracetamol. The latter made both of us do a bit of an excited jig either side of the window and we laughed at each other’s joy over a 35p pack of pills.
Symptoms so far: sore throat, fever, aches, cough, tiredness, no taste, night sweats.
Atmosphere: weird but calm. I feel guilty abandoning A in his room and spent the night catastrophising - there’s plenty of options with four of us.
Jigsaws on the go here too.

Oh Judith, how scary. I hope your son recovers quickly and none of the rest of you get it. What terrifying times. It is good to “see you again”

Oh, me, I'm worried for you. I hope you all 'get better soon'!

@newbank we’ve isolated another one as a precaution. Keeps taking herself off to bed so it seems like a good idea though she’s fine in between. I’m making slightly strange meals while trying to conserve the easy ingredients so that I get fed if I take to my bed!

Planning to get my jigsaw out from under the sofa tomorrow morning 😄😄
Hoping you are soon feeling much better.
The paracetamol thing is crazy in UK. We could buy huge packets when on holiday in Melbourne..I think there were 200 in a packet!!!
