All the best CD, sounds life she's a fighter having dealt with all that previous stuff.

I echo this, they’re tough these older women. My mum had half her stomach removed due to cancer 2 years ago, she’s still going strong and is 81 now.

My mother has more lives than a cat, she had a brain haemorrhage in her early 30's and spent 9 months in a hospice before defying all expectations and medical prognosis and leaving that place.

 

Anyway, some 40 years later, during the worst health crisis since the Black Death she's only gone a found various other ways to get herself readmitted to hospital.

 

The first time she was in overnight but this time she's now been in for 4 weeks.

 

I took a call from one of the hospital staff about an hour ago to tell me that me ma has now tested positive for covid. This is on top of the pneumonia and COPD, a CDIF bowel infection (caused by hospital surgeons when they botched my ma's gall bladder operation 18 months ago), extreme weight loss and dehydration and the hallucinations and delirium which go along with that.

 

We aren't allowed to visit, we cannot speak to my ma, we are completely in the dark.

 

To be honest, we're in need of a miracle if my ma is to beat this one.

That's terrible mate. Best thoughts and wishes for you and your Mum.

She sounds like she's a very strong woman hopefully she pulls through it. Best wishes, mate.

Thanks for all your messages of support guys, it's very touching and greatly appreciated.

 

Still been unable to speak to my ma but I've just spoken to a nurse who said that she's still hanging in there and she's sleeping peacefully atm.

 

A consultant phoned yesterday, we had the DNR talk and she explained that in most people who test positive, the battle is won or lost inside 5 to 10 days. Because my ma caught it in Thursday, this weekend should be decisive in which way things go, but with my mother's other health conditions and infections the prognosis isn't good.

25 people at least arrested for gathering to protest in town. And the worst thing is, they were just trying to conduct a peaceful prayer and petition the queen. 
 

 

Should have sent Prince Andrew down there in a helicopter, but instead of shooting rockets it fires cocks.

 

"Pray to this ladies!"
