I hate to think how I’d feel if I wasn’t vaccinated and boosted...


So sorry to hear you’ve caught Covid. It can really knock you off your feet. I hope you are feeling better now and are fully recovered very soon.
Take care of yourself. xx

I booked my flu jab appt today - but there’s a month’s waiting list at my GP surgery, so my appt is not until 23rd October.

I haven’t received an invitation for a Covid jab yet - I’ll definitely be having it when it’s my turn.

Two of my friends have caught Covid a couple of weeks ago and they are both having serious health issues as a result of their infection.
For the last 3 afternoons, I’ve been sitting with a friend whose brain function has been affected since having Covid, to give her son who cares for her a break. It is scary to see my friend, who had a sharp mind only 3 weeks ago, acting as though she has some form of dementia now.
The Doctors think it may be a temporary “delirium” caused by Covid, which she may recover from. I do hope so.

Thank you. I don’t feel as bad, but I certainly don’t feel good yet.

I’ve managed to get an appointment for my Covid booster for 1st week in October, which gives me 3 weeks between my Covid jab and flu jab. That is just the time gap I wanted between them, so I’m happy with that. smile.png
