A positive slant on Christmas

Unfortunately I don't mean the joys..
I tested positive for the virus on the 18th!

It was only a matter of time given the circumstances we are working under at school
Luckily there were no children in that last week so being ill on tuesday was not too much of a big deal.

Problem is I've had no taste and smell until yesterday ...well it's altered again anyway.
I've had no energy
I've wanted it to end so often but it just lingers on and on...
And On.
I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.. and I got off very lightly indeed!

I'm thankful for the love I've been showered with and for the help of my beautiful baby girl with shopping n stuff.
It could have been a lot worse but NOT QUITE the Christmas I had imagined for any of us!

Look girl, just concentrate on rest and recovery. According to my kid (kid? The bugger's 40!) it's horrid and just leaves you absolutely knackered. I believe you're on the Top Table here so please keep us up to speed because I WANT to know when you're on the mend - and make it soon.

Dear Rhian, so sorry to hear about this, you poor lass.
I do hope you are more on the mend soon now.

I've got my mask, shield, and gloves on, i'll even put a bag on me head, so don't tell anyone if I give you a hug when I bring your cuppa.

Re: A positive slant on Christmas

Awwww Rhi, I am so, so sorry to hear this. You poor thing. My cousin in America has it and it has floored her, she's no worse after 6 days but no better, she told me, like you said, it lingers.

This is just awful news Rhi, I wish I could give you a reassuring hug, albeit a virtual one, so take this and I will keep you in my prayers.

Sorry to hear this, Rhian.
It could be worse, I suppose. It sounds not much worse than flu.
I hope you're feeling a lot better soon.

Re: A positive slant on Christmas

I did notice your absence in the lead up to Christmas but assumed you were just busy at work. Glad to hear you are ok Rhian (relatively, of course). Hope you get back to 100% asap
