Hi all,

Dads tested positive. They’ve been so careful for months :(. He’s had a recent kidney stone op and I’m so worried. Any advice on best ways to support recovery? I’ve sent zinc vit c and d and books.... anything else we can do?

What a pants Christmas.

Has he got plenty of paracetamol? We got through loads of it when we had Covid.

Yes he says that’s his regular dosing tool atm.

I’m frightened.

Pulse oximeter without a doubt.

I agree, I oximeter, everyone should have one.

Fingers crossed he has a speedy recovery x

Lots of fluids. Chances are he will be okay but it is frightening

Impact that was the worst bit x
