I've gotten this far!!!

God dammit. I'm awake with a fever and feeling shite. Not horrific but definitely more poorly than a head cold might feel.

I've gotten this far without it. Took my two preschoolers camping and since it was raining we went to the cinema and for a carvery.

Dh is going to be fuming. He's inherited his dad's anxious streak. Not looking forward to telling him

I don't even know the rules any more as I just keep a low profile. I'm gonna have to look them up now.

I'm double jabbed. Ironically dh is due to be jabbed tonight at 6.30

Which country are you in, England? DH can’t blame you for getting COVID unless you deliberately mixed with someone you knew had COVID. Also has he been slow getting the vaccine? Did he go camping with you?
Order PCRs

Hellotoallmyfans · 25/08/2021 00:50

You haven't even done a test yet so why are you fretting?

You'll be fine.

Dh is going to be fuming
Fuming? Why, because you've caught a virus? Well he needs to get a grip doesn't he?

He's inherited his dad's anxious streak
Bully for him.

England.
He didn't go camping.
This will put us in huge poverty - the isolation.
He wanted to wait the full 12 weeks for various reasons. It was a purposeful choice.

He will definitely not be happy about the cinema and carvary.

He's a good man but on the anxious side. It's a pain in the arse. He's not cv but does have a blood disorder which may make covid problematic.

Plus he has read up on the physiology of covid and is going to probably tell me in detail what organ systems covid impacts. not completely crazy. He is in a medical field. Not a doctor

Hellotoallmyfans · 25/08/2021 00:54

Presumably he leaves the house, goes to work and to the shops etc? Or has he been living in a cave for 18 months? If not, he has no right to criticise you for what? Going out?

Bonkers.

toomuchlaundry · 25/08/2021 00:58

At the moment you don’t definitely know you have COVID. Get PCR test booked ASAP.

Has he been expecting you to stay in the house throughout this with 2 DC?

He won't go into shops unless he absolutely has to. He's recently gone out to work but has largely been doing other stuff from home.

I take the kids to outdoor places

I've got an urgent ultrasound booked for today which is the most frustrating thing

Flowers I hope the test results come back quickly and that your ultrasound goes well!

Ugzbugz · 25/08/2021 01:27

COVID is unlikely to end anytime soon hence no isolation for double jabbed. We all have to work and shop and live and won’t kids be in school or nursery soon?

spotcheck · 25/08/2021 01:34

Could you just have a cold from camping?

Your husband is in the medical field, and he'll be fuming?

Or fuming you spent money on the cinema?

Waxonwaxoff0 · 25/08/2021 06:45

It can't be helped. I'm not afraid of Covid so haven't been going out of my way to avoid it. I regularly go to restaurants, cinemas, public transport, take DS to indoor activities. All of that and I ended up catching Covid at work which is the one place I have no choice but to go to.

Your DH needs to realise that you can't hide from a virus and odds are we will all catch i at some point.

pleasekeeptotheright · 25/08/2021 06:52

It will put you in huge poverty but he can WFH?

WaterBottle123 · 25/08/2021 07:06

You have a DH problem not a COVID problem. He sounds very controlling and selfish.

I hope you feel better soon and can address the fact your DH uses his pet anxiety to beat you with.

Take careOP

@PlantDoctor there won’t be an ultrasound now will there?! X

Imnothereforthedrama · 25/08/2021 07:41

What am I reading here , first of all book a test before you know it may be a cold.
Secondly your dh fuming what did he expect you not to go anywhere? It still baffles me that people seem to think those that catch Covid are the ones that aren’t careful and it won’t happen to them reality is you can catch it anywhere work / school / shops and yes going for a carvery what’s the alternative never leave the house ?.
Go and book a test then you’ll know your dh and your dc won’t need to isolate if your dh is double jabbed anyway .

pleasekeeptotheright · 25/08/2021 07:43

Can't go for the ultrasound with symptoms.

So your DH went to work throughout the past year in the medical field yet he'll be fuming about you going to the cinema? Why is he only just having his second jab now?

Chosennone · 25/08/2021 07:47

It's not your fault if you have Covid.
Are you going to be in massive poverty because you can't work for 10 days?
You are entitled to SSP.
I repeat, it is not your fault, we have a disease that is now endemic in society! Please take care and rest up Flowers

BoomChicka · 25/08/2021 07:53

Wtf is wrong with him? If he will genuinely be angry with you then you have a serious DH problem. His choice to delay his vaccine means he will need to isolate - not your fault. Get a test ASAP, it might not even be covid.

PlantDoctor · 25/08/2021 08:11

@PlantDoctor I meant when it is rearranged...

He hasn't said a word. Apparently I was worrying for nothing.

Just at the test centre now. I had one scan last week and they found a growth. I'm frustrated I've had to cancel this one.

Dh studies in the medical field. He doesn't yet work in the medical field. He does a manual job for work. Sorry maybe I wasn't clear

Bubbles2456 · 25/08/2021 10:38

Both my kids a couple months ago and very high fevers, coughs etc and it wasn't covid. There are lots of other virus's circulating at the moment. Don't fret until you know!!

Have you had your result? Hope your DH isn't being a dick!
Louisa111 · 29/08/2021 22:38

Hope everything's ok, did you get your result?
