Been in side room in hospital for 4 weeks, tested positive

[ceecee32]

I am shocked to the core, been in hospital for 4 weeks having treatment after stem cell transplant
Swiftly moved to side room after a couple of days when I got clostridium difficile and the only people I have seen have been doctors and nurses wearing PPE.
Just been told that I have tested positive for covid and that they are moving me to a side room on the covid ward
I am immunosupressed and to say I am shit scared is an understatement

This could explain it.

I hope you are feeling ok 💐

Track and Trace rang me.
When they said who had I been in contact with I said only hospital staff.

They said it would be escalated up to public health England as a matter of concern

Not much happened today, other than me realising that they told me that yesterdays test was the second positive. The records on the system only show one positive.
If the routine swab they did last Sunday was the first positive I am already a week in.

Mission for tomorrow..try to get to the bottom of what's going on

Wishing you a speedy recovery op. I read about hospital transmission recently happening. Such bad luck.

Slumptuous
That link is really interesting, the heamatology ward I was on had sealed windows and air vents

You had me at cream leather suite with a heated massage recliner for half price.

You are going to get better and out of there to bloody well enjoy that sofa!

How are you feeling? Such a shock for you after such a prolonged period of illness. Keep posting if you want company, we are all here for you OP

Wishing you the very best - sure they will do a very good job of looking after you

Op o hope you're ok from all your procedures and your positive result. You're clearly such a strong person to be dealing with all of this. I hope you're feeling as well as can be ❤️
