I haven't felt well for 24 hours. Nausea, very sore heavy chest and a cough (worse when i was talking this morning but ive shut myself away and have no one to talk to now). Also a horrible headache.
I have young children so have shut myself in my bedroom whilst my husband has the kids. I already miss them.
My chest feels so sore and i am aware of my breathing. I have a mild fever (im on immunosuppresants for Crohn's and they often mask a fever). The thing is i haven't been out socially for 9 weeks and my husband and kids haven't either. Im vulnerable so we have stayed home. We do have dogs so have walked them once a day but we live rurally and see no one. I don't walk anywhere i need to touch a gate or stile.
We get a sainsbury's order once a week. They leave the bags on the doorstep and then i get the bags. I remove outer packaging and isolate the bags for a week or so. I haven't washed the last 2 orders though as i was feeling safe as I am washing my hands all the time. Have I caught it from my sainsbury's delivery?
My 3 year old went to the GP's last Tuesday for his pre school vacs (after alot of pressure from the GP telling me he needed it). My husband had a mask and the nurse was in PPE and there was no one else in the surgery. Husband said it felt very safe.
Its not flu, ive had that a couple of times and doesnt feel like that. At that moment its a sore chest, cough and headache.
Is there anything else going round or does it sound like covid 19?
I called 111 and they said i could get a test so i booked one but its for tomorrow night at 5pm and 81 miles away.
Half of me feels panicked and half feels like i will inevitably get it and might as well get it over with.
I miss my kids so much and its only been a few hours.
I just cant believe I could have caught it when i have been so so careful and my whole family has to.
