Cheers folks, she's been moved to ICU and put on a ventilator this morning. Appears it's like having the virus the vaccine was meant to protect her from but that's an argument for another day.
Ironic they are worried about her breathing as her lungs were fine when she phoned to give me a rollicking for not putting the washing out.
The ex Dundee midfielder Morton Weighorst had this disease when he played for Timothy.
All the best to your Ma.
Just in the subject of vaccines, when is the longest anyone has had to wait for an appointment? I’ve got some caterers saying they’ve both got their appointment for the 31st July.
They’ve got a better job offer on the day, haven’t they?
Auld mither has had her diagnosis officially recorded as a possible side effect of the vaccination. No way to tell of course if it was the vac that triggered it but doctors saying they are seeing a lot more cases of this since vaccination started.
She didn't need the ventilator and back on a normal ward now. Possible long recovery with rehab to get back to her normal ways though. Not sure she'll be able to drive again but with her driving that's possibly not a bad thing.
I remember my mother's driving :-(
Glad to hear she's on the mend though.
I'm down in Brazil, pre embark quarantine .
Nobody over 60 been allowed offshore since covid kicked off.
One of our welders ,who was hoping to back to work if got jab,is over 60 and went to get vaccine. He had bad reactions ,which in turn developed into Covid and poor guy passed away .
All within four days of getting vaccine .
Makes my moaning of feeling bit crap and headache after got first jab all a bit selfish.
Good day for the government today.
Boris isn’t isolating because he doesn’t have to.
Boris is isolating ( at chequers, shame eh?)
Boris never had any intention of not isolating( anyone who says otherwise gets burned at the stake)
There’s a strain of virus ( which their hopeless oxford vaccine might struggle to cope with) found on a French colonial island 6000 miles away.
Put the whole of mainland France on the red list?
Nah because there are half a million brits in France and only half a dozen* or so available hotel rooms for them to isolate in.
Invent an amber plus level?
Good idea, serves folk right for wanting to go to France anyway.
Freedom day tomorrow, which means you get the key but are expected to stay in your cell.
Meanwhile 250,000* folk cram into 200 yards of Brighton beach.
It’s a staycation innit?
* Numbers might not be accurate but you get the drift.
