Unhappy Thread

I'm not really collecting them as such but I do need to send pictures to my employer as proof 

Hopefully you don't feel obliged to send your employer pictures of your idea of company uniform
Get well soon, Sir

When I had my brush with the bug I had 1 day really rough 2 days not so good and the rest of the time like a bad bout of flu, lasted about a fortnight. Worst bit was it knackered my Beer buds for a while, all back to normal now, just off to the pub to check  (I'm jealous)

I started feeling rough last Saturday after flying to Egypt a week ago Wednesday. Had a couple of rough days whilst there but it's worse now since returning on Wednesday/Thursday. People tell me to rest up but I find that very difficult and need to be doing something or I get very very bored. I try not to get down and miserable when not well but this one is testing my patience but trying like mad to keep my odd sense of humour. I have had 2 beers since returning from holiday but didn't really enjoy them which is rather worrying 

At least the other 3 who I went with are ok and showing negative 

Hopefully it won't be too long before your top and bottom stop feeling rough. 

I hope you're right

Thanks Mick. Did I ever show you a picture of my online interview outfit where they could only see my top half?

Still feeling as rough as a badger's  so no surprise that I now have a hat trick 

[stevewalker]

You may be on the mend at least - that last one looks a little less solid. People who've had it (we've managed to keep it out of this house) have told me that the test line is not simply solidly there or not, but becomes lighter as your viral load lessens.

Have you tried the hair of the dog - Egyptian Stella ?

[port perran]

The T line seems to be getting fainter so perhaps that's a good sign.
Get well soon.

The T line is a lot darker in real life than on the screen although it is very slightly lighter than the other 2. I'll do another test on Wednesday which will be from a new box which I think may be more conclusive. In all honesty I don't really care what the lines say, I just want to feel better. I get breathless just going up the stairs at the moment so I can't even get into the loft.
On a brighter note I have managed to buy 3 more container wagons with 2x 30' Ford containers on each over the past couple of days

Hell no! I doubt I had more than 6 pints of that when I was over there. I got bitten to death (well, not quite death) by insects the first couple of days so I drank a lot of gin and tonic as someone told me there is quinine in the tonic. I have no idea if that's true but I did get bitten a lot less after switching to it 

[stevewalker]

Tonic was the British East India Company's Soldiers' way of taking quinine in a more palatable form - mixed with soda water and sugar. Later it was discovered that it made it so much better that it was actually enjoyable, when gin was added.

[Trainfish]

And on we go. Not feeling quite as rough but still get tired easily and am rather snotty. I'm bored with this now 

[The Q]

my brother tested positive for 18 days....

[Trainfish]

Well that's uplifting then. I reckon I'm on day 12 now as I didn't take any test kits with me to Egypt.

[Bob G]

Time to buy some more Yeoman hoppers, perhaps?

Get well soon

EDIT - I read recently that statins (which I take to keep cholesterol low) improves outcomes with Covid. Just a thought. You need the pills, not the low dose spreads which my doctor friend said was a total waste of space.

That's good. I've been on statins since 1995
