What's the longest you have stayed inside for ?

11 days when I had covid. Walking to the bathroom was exhausting, and I spent a lot of time asleep.

Well, obviously with sepsis, I was in hospital, not the house, and I flopped outside even there as soon as I could manage, I’m a terrible patient. Broken limbs, very easily, just perhaps rather more slowly or gingerly than usual!

eta I may have misunderstood the question. I was talking about specifically staying within the house, so kind of overlooked hospital stays. Perhaps that gave the wrong impression.

2 weeks when I had flu pre COVID. Probably almost 3 weeks in hospital around DSs premmie birth.

The weather hasn't been great this year and I've not enjoyed walks etc as much as a result. There have certainly been 2 day stretches on my midweek wfh when I've not gone out.

2 weeks in quarantine due to COVID in 2020. Would have lost my mind except for the fact that I felt like absolute shit.

It's fine thanks apart from triple sepsis in my left eyebrow.

You are so right about snowflakes making a fuss. Never heard of anxiety during the good old blitz.

I think around 10 days or so . Had flu,so spent around 3/4 days in bed not showering or even washing . Then nearly a week of draging myself out of bed and spending the day on the sofa just watching t.v. . Had company as dh had it as well .

Around 8 months. I have ME and at one point it was so severe I was around 90% bed bound and going downstairs was usually impossible, let alone leaving the house. It's still common for me to be too ill to go out for several days at a time.

😂

People are so precious aren't they? Just because they are under general anaesthesia and getting tens of stiches and they don't go digging a trench in the garden. Snowflakes they are

Hope your head feels better now. 😂

I would imagine that pp is more resilient than most

I am similar, my friends do think it's funny and charming how resilient I am.

One day my head fell clean off and I just picked it up, tucked it in my arm, swilled out the pigs and cooked a massive salad on my big rustic range cooker.

3 days at most unless very ill. On an average week I woukdnt have a day at home..even if sick would still have to do school run, go to shops etc a week at home all alone sounds a bit worrying like you are very isolated, probably not the healthiest not even getting out for a bit of fresh air...

Probably about 4-5 days, could easily do longer though

I recently had a hysterectomy and for the first two weeks I stayed at home I live alone so could get what I needed from a Tesco whoosh delivery if urgent. I had grand plans of spending the six weeks learning a new language, or skill, geetting into new hobbies etc, but I just did nothing basically aside from scroll on my phone and binge watch Netflix. I started walking the dog again for 20 mins around the block twice a day and my ex took him for a long walk each day. I did nothing…. It was such a shock coming back to work. Thinking of having another surgery just for some more time off 😂

I don’t think I’ve ever spent even a full day in the house. If I have, I certainly can’t remember it. That’s even with having had sepsis, a couple of c sections, broken limbs etc. I cannot bear to feel cooped up indoors and anyway, I’ve horses and dogs and the farm livestock, so I haven’t much choice even if I wanted it!

I used to make sure I took my kids out every single day, even if it was just a trip to sainsburys.

Back in 2021 when I first became disabled, barring endless trips to the gp, literally carried door to door, I didn't leave the house until mid 2022. THAT was awful as I had no choice but to stay home

I'm still disabled (physically, lifelong and progressive) but somewhat know my boundaries now.

At Christmas I went 23 days, it was glorious because it was MY choice to be cosy and comfy at home.

When I had the flu, around 4 or 5 days but then I had a friend take me in his car for a drive so I could at least get out.

On a non-illness non-post-surgery week, 48 hours is the most I could ever manage before going crazy. I hate feeling sluggish too.

I genuinely feel so sorry for al the people who were really on house-arrest during the lockdown in countries that were so ridiculously strict, or people in China having to stay indoors at the worst of pollution. Pure hell.

Yes, two years.

The most is 1 day. Cannot fathom more than that.

if I go 24h I find it really noticeable.
48h would require a concerted effort and I don’t
think I have ever randomly done it (eg Covid etc quarantining myself
excepting)

I was my DM's carer for 10 years and when she went into hospital I had something of a breakdown. We were in the middle of a heatwave so I spent time in the garden but I didn't go out of the front door at all. I slept for hours through the day and slept all night. The removal of the stress was almost as hard to live with as the stress itself!

Around 3 days during my last bout of COVID. I was climbing the walls and driving everyone around me potty too. If I don't get out running I get really twitchy and irritable.
