To bloody hate Covid.

I’m feeling so, so pissed off this morning and I just need to vent and be heard by other people who bloody hate Covid!!

I’m supposed to be in work today for something so, so incredibly important and as Sod’s Law would have it, my son woke up yesterday with a cough so had to go for a PCR.

He had his test at 10am and I was praying for a quick result because if it had have been negative and we’d found out by 6.30am this morning then I still would have been able to go to work.

I checked my phone as soon as I woke up at 6am and no results - I wanted to cry.

I’m so, so disappointed.
I really needed to be at work today to do something so important to my role and today was my only opportunity to do it.

So now I’m stuck at home with my son who isn’t coughing anymore, is perfectly well and bouncing around the living room like the Duracell bunny all because of stupid Covid and the fact he had a cough yesterday morning.

To be fair I’m angry with ‘the rules’ in general because where I work (NHS) I can’t go in until my son’s test comes back - they have different rules about self isolation.

My husband said he’d take today off work so I could go to my work, but I can’t anyway.

The whole thing is shit.

It’s just never going to end is it.

God I feel pissed off with it all.

Sorry for the rant - I just needed to scream it somewhere.

When my son last had a test we got the results back within 13 hours and I was so hoping for the same this time Sad

I emailed my Matron yesterday and said that as it’s so important I attend today and that I won’t be anywhere near patients could an exception be made, but she said no. It’s not her fault, it’s the NHS/Trust’s rules but I’m just so pissed off.
