Guest Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 One night in Farnham. Hotel is decent. Complimentary bottle of beer in the fridge. London pride but still free beer is Nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far so good. I await my flu jab and COVID booster… Whatever ails me seems to be easing, nose is less snotty, no headache, no sore throat and I’m back working on the house without getting too tired. Hopefully your lurgy will ease soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up a heart murmur a swift ECG and a cardiac referral so at least they are on top of that. Roll on the summer and warm weather Stay safe and warm everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonio Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I had the mother of all colds a couple of weeks ago - thanks again to the grandchildren. Off work for a week . Nearly had to cancel the trip to Scotland. Still got a cough, four weeks on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little dears passed on a beast of a cold and 10 days in I'm still producing snot at a phenomenal rate. Bit of a cough and tickle in my throat combined with a feeling of general bleah. No fever though and so far 3 LCF tests have all come up negative. Avoid docs though. Only go once a year for my annual medical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonio Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Sounds the same, only I was I getting a fever too, and my brain went to mush (figuratively, I mean). 3 LFTs and 1 PCR all negative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've got that now. Just over a week ago I was feeling a bit like I had hayfever and then over the week I just started feeling grim until on Friday I was on the sofa. Now on Tuesday the following week and my throat is still rough, the cough isn't as bad but the runny nose is really annoying. Usually I try to just push through, but I've got a small operation coming up so I need to be in good shape for that. Hope it doesn't last weeks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally echinacea tablets help me boost my immune system up worth giving them a go it didn't help me this time tho! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I've been on a A-Z multi-vitamin for a similar reason, trying to keep the immune system boosted as I was trying not to get sick. Guess it's best I get it out of the way early in the season. Can imagine this year is going to be spectacularly bad for flu deaths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'm in for a flu jab next week but the odds are against it being for the right virus form this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I am not a happy bunny. I've said about the guy meant to be doing the bathroom in the house we rent letting me down, well yesterday I told him his services were no longer required, I shall do the job myself. The problem is I am desparately short of time. So today I had two appointments which were annoyingly mid-morning and then 6.00pm, which meant it wasn't worth me travelling to our house to do any work today, but has left me at a loose end for most of the day. I could do the oil on the Bobber but the oil filter hasn't arrived. The mid-morning one - they didn't show up. The 6.00pm one got cancelled 20 minutes before it was due to happen - by email, which I didn't see until 5.57pm. So that's a whole day wasted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'd be bloody annoyed too. It's a real pisser when folks screw you around without any shame. Doesn't happen too often when I'm at home but when I'm at sea it's all too common. At least my day is rarely wasted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
