Positive for COVID now. Throat on fire cough. So just looking after myself like lots people now.
My husband would have got shopping and some mags to cheer me up although had he not died as an amputee things would have been different.

Hi @Enorac,

How miserable for you! I hope your symptoms begin to subside soon.

Best wishes to you.

Thank you for kind wishes. Comes and goes having to keep gargling with salt water, paracetol, honey and lemon, strepsils, lots water.
If you are an amputee how do you cope?
My husband fell out of bed a week after his operation and next day died. It is anniversary of his funeral today. So thinking about that.
I never thought of it before when parents and baby died. But guess it is is different each loss. Was recalling my son trying to struggle as we had to face the funeral. He has been a bit worried I am ill. I worry for him. Think if my husband was looking down he would want to reassure him.
Gp said as have had boosters should be ok.
That was a relief when you are on your own u worry.

I agree with you. I am being told who I should spend Christmas with, people I don’t even know very well. I should put on a brave face and enjoy myself for their sakes. Well you know what you can do !,!,

Hi
We need to ‘get through this long stretch the best we can and how we can
Folks should realise that
They don’t
I can’t put a face on never have done
Everything is geared up to the perfect family Christmas
Is there such a thing
I want to go to sleep and wake up when it’s all over
But then wake up to what
More of this horrendous mental torture of being and the overwhelming feeling of alone
We have to survive for our loved ones sake
But do we?
Xx’

@Bess1 its the most awful thing to be so happy and it all gone in an instant . This is going to be a difficult time as Christmas is such an important time for everyone . I am numb to it . I think going away is the best thing for me . My hope is that you can get through it all . Take each day as it comes

Enorac it can be a struggle with me being a right below knee amputee since 2019.the day of sues funeral everyone was trying to get me to use a wheelchair but I insisted on walking in .yes I struggled with it but I couldn’t face being in a chair and family was and is still very supportive to me especially now that other issues are coming up with being an amputee
