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!

It’s a worry that these people can vote though isn’t it?

How are you feeling @AmbTurn ? I hope a bit better. 💐

about why disease spreads like wildfire

Because it can be fatal to vulnerable people with a severe case, and it spreads so easily because so many asymptomatic people are walking around unknowingly spreading it.

and by all the "get on with it" folk on this site, it also spreads because people who are symptomatic are also walking around knowingly spreading it!

so a big "thank you" from everyone you pass it on to, for the sake of your few hours in the sun/fresh air.

Hi OP,

That absolutely sucks. Your H is being an utter arse but in your shoes I'd delay the row as you don't have the energy for it.

Is he usually so selfish? This is appalling. I've been sick on holiday before and needed to stay in the room. I honestly can't imagine my partner not checking regularly to see what I needed.

Load up on meds, lots of fluids and I hope you feel better soon.

I love how there are people happily spreading their D&V germs because they are so stoical.

why do some people think it is so heroic to carry in when they are ill when actually your body needs rest to mend

How are you feeling @AmbTurn? I also have Covid at the moment and am also very unwell with it. You have my utmost sympathy and I hope you feel better soon.

I had a private phone consultation with a GP earlier and she prescribed antibiotics for my chest. She said this particular form of Covid seems to be going from viral to bacterial very quickly with this one. Is your chest still sore? What colour is your phlegm? If you’re at all worried consider seeing a doctor. And please make sure you’re well hydrated.

Your DH is being awful, it’s not like you chose to become ill. Get well soon 💕

I was in for 7 days. My exh excuse for not coming every day and stopping no longer than 45 mins if he did was I was boring I wouldn't sit up and talk to him. I couldn't sit up. I had spinal fluid leaking and had the worst headache I have ever had. I would've loved to have sat up for more than a few seconds before throwing up from the pain, instead of laying staring at the ceiling for 7 days. The only stopping 45 mins was because he didn't want to have to pay for parking by staying more than an hour. He came with my ex mil one time. All of a sudden I heard a ooh we've been here 45 mins quick we must leave now before we get charged for parking. Someone I knows wife was in hospital the same time as me. He would drive the 15-20 miles every day and spend the day there before coming back home for his tea. He wasn't bothered if she spent half the time sleeping or that he'd have to pay for the car park. He said even if it had cost him £500 a day to park he'd have still gone every day. Sadly each hospital is around 120 miles apart from each other otherwise he'd have come in and seen me as well. Similar happened a couple of years later. Ended up back in hospital with the same symptoms as before. Only this time I had, had a severe headache for 10 days straight. Nothing was shifting it. My memory was going and I could hardly walk due to balance problems. I was panicking I'd need another lumbar puncture doing. exh just sat there moaning he was tired it was taking too long to be seen. We'd booked a travel lodge for the night due to the weather being really bad and the road coming back home is often closed when it snows. I said to him go to the hotel and I'll ring if and when I get discharged. No didn't want to. His words were if I go now I won't be arsed to come and pick you back up. Instead he sat there like a sulky 2 year old huffing and puffing at every opportunity. Thankfully I didn't need a lumbar puncture and after IV paracetamol, anti sickness and prochlorperazine and a rest in a dark room the headache had subsided. The Dr did make it perfectly clear he wasn't discharging me until the pain scale was no more than a 2 it had gone from a 10 to about a 6 but in the end I just said it was lower than what it was just so I didn't have to suffer the mood of a man child all night. I did make him drive miles out of the way to take me to McDonald's because I hadn't eaten anything. Or at least I would've eaten something in hospital had he not grabbed both of the sandwiches the Dr gave me and eaten them himself. We spilt up a couple of months later.

That was meant to quote @AzureOrca. Not sure why it didn't

I hope you are okay there @AmbTurn.

I was just thinking of you and wanted to drop and send sympathy.

Oh I’m so disappointed!… I’ve read all your updates @AmbTurn & I was really hoping to read one saying you were feeling better and were by the pool sipping cocktails but meanwhile DH was in bed unable to move … and that you’d left him to it like he did you!! I really hope this is the case!

Well, it's understandable that he's disappointed but you aren't exactly having a great time either.

I think he's being really horrible. I don't know how long you have been together but I would be thinking long and hard about whether I wanted to stay with this selfish, unfeeling person.

What an absolute cnut he was!!
Its when people are like that, that makes me want to go over the top and really hurt them

@AmbTurn
Hi OP, how are you? Hope you're all better now!
