Holiday Nightmare!

[AmbTurn]

AIBU here?

We have come away the two of us for 10 days. Had a bit of a nightmare the first 3 days as our cases didn't come on the plane with us, they turned up 3 days later so I spent the first 3 days on the phone emailing etc.

Anyway, cases did turn up on day 3! Great let's get on with enjoying the holiday.

Thursday afternoon all of a sudden I felt I had been hit by a bus. I woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever and aching from head to toe. Ended up in bed all day yesterday because I felt so bad.

Managed to get up today and get to the chemist as I knew it was more than a cold. The chemist gave me some stuff for the flu and a Covid test. Top and bottom of it is, I've tested positive for Covid hence the reason why I feel horrendous.

Partner seems really pissed off. Hardly speaking to me! That's the vibe I'm getting. He went to the adult only pool yesterday until 6pm as I told him pointless sitting in the room with me.

Today after I got the positive test he's annoyed again. Saying well I have to spend the holiday on my own! Didn't ask how I was feeling or any regard for the fact I feel horrendous with a temperature and I'm wasting my holiday stuck in bed in the room.

At least he can go out round the pool in the sun! AIBU in thinking he's being a bit selfish in just thinking of himself? It's really getting on my nerves!

Is it just the word covid that have sent people fucking doolally on this thread??

Would the OP have got more sympathy if it was just plain old flu or D&V?

Yes, it's shit timing but the OP can't help being ill and some of you lot piling on, just sound like arseholes.

OP isn't asking her husband to sit by her side with a wet cloth on her brow, feeding her grapes, she simply wants to have some simple consideration as in getting her a few drinks in before sodding off to the pool and maybe having him have his mobile phone on him in case she needs to contact him. These are not big asks of someone you've been with for over 10 years.

@AmbTurn I hope you feel better soon,my advice would be to ignore this thread!

The phone thing is particularly inconsiderate of him. He sounds like an oaf.

Thank you for asking it means a lot.

I had a bad night. I was vomiting last night. My chest is really heavy feels like something is stuck.

I work for the NHS at our local hospital so luckily I've had all my vaccines and boosters. I cannot imagine how I would have felt if I hadn't as I feel terrible now.

when you feel better and home

do you plan to do anything about your marriage?

or just carry on like this?

I wouldn't expect him to sit in the room whilst I was bed bound.

I just wanted him to be contactable at the very least in case I needed help.

i doubt. you’ll be able to fly in 72 hours
have you looked at your insurance re covid

That's basic and should be easy enough to do for anyone let alone your wife. I'm sorry you have a shit time with him on top of being ill!

Definitely check out your holiday insurance to see if you can get some money back.

Good luck x

There is actually if you have a severe case

@AmbTurn I hope you start to feel better soon, and I'm sorry your holiday was ruined. Are you well enough to fly home ? Sounds like you have worsened a bit. Might be worth contacting your insurers and getting a dr appointment just to make sure?

Your DH sounds like a selfish arse. Even though you shouldn't have to, I'd be really prescriptive in telling him what you need from him

• water and other fluids
• any medicines
• cold flannel
• him to have his phone with him all the time
• food bits to tempt you (fruit maybe?)

Rest. Rest and ignore the weird, aggressive arses on here, telling you to just get on with it. Clearly never had covid badly. 🤢

So you were too ill to go outside? Like you told the OP to do!

I got COVID on holiday last month. Felt totally fine one minute then felt like I'd been hit by a bus the next.

I went to the hotel, slept for five hours and woke up feeling better although for the next week I was still unwell. Maybe a day or two in bed will be ok but after that you can certainly continue your holiday as normal. There's no restrictions and it's likely your partner has it too already. You'll have got it before you left the UK

Feel better soon!

😆

so you got to the lounge
but didn’t quite make it…. outside

you enjoyed the “doors open”

i am guessing the op has her balcony door open

Jesus H!
I seem to be reading that some people suggest op gets up and outside to swim in the pool, lie in the sun and drink cocktails while she has a raging temperature and awful flu-like symptoms.
Presumably these same people are deemed mentally fit enough to vote???

I'm fascinated to know what these posters do if they get d&v on holiday. I'm picturing them so committed to enjoying the holiday they take a bucket to the sunlounger to puke at regular intervals chirping about how they just 'get on with it' in between heaves while horrified sunbathers edge away.

Morning @AmbTurn there are some right dicks on here ffs! How are you feeling? In 2022 we went away for a week and tested positive the first day, we were really ill like you. My head felt like it was going to explode and nothing would help. I feel for you, the only thing I can say is I hope your DH gets it and then understands how ill you are. If you are vomiting can you get a Dr from the hotel to make a visit to you? Hugs xx

In the searing heat? That’ll work! Hot weather makes me feel ill when I’m well, I definitely couldn’t tolerate it when I am ill. Perish the thought!

Just love how he rang his mummy to complain. What a man. I really hope he gets it when you get back. (Although I suspect his mummy will be round with soup and sweeties for her pwecious baybee)

Ringing his mummy🤢🤮.

Get well OP, get organised, and get away from this nasty twat.

Do the www.freedomprogramme.co.uk because you definitely need to build self-esteem and respect for yourself.

He is a horror.

@BoneChinaPlate you can buy drugs over the counter in most countries to control D&V to be honest for us it usually only lasts a couple of hours anyway 12-24hrs after that of a liquid diet and we usually feel fine. Would flop on the balcony or by the swim up if we have one. Just make sure a toilet is within easy reach.

That is possibly one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on MN.

I do hope his mum told him to grow the fuck up when he texted her. That's the sort of response my sons would get if they tried that one on.

So no, you’ve never been so ill that you’ve been bedbound.

when you are that ill it’s not a choice

thankfully @BrendaSmall has shuffled off

I broke both shoulders just before going on holiday, had to cancel and got all our money back.

surprised you didn’t still go 😆

We had to cancel the holiday that was 3 days after my accident, the one we had booked 4 weeks after we went on 🤣
