Hi@Brumboy68 Oh theyr murder to get through to, how are you feeling after getting home yesterday.
-
I'm ok but tired and bloody hot...still adjusting too home and temp
Air conditioned on wards
Will try and get through at 9 am tomorrow
At least I am now a statistic on those press conferences as I have been tested for covid.
If anyone hates pain it's not for them ... -
Oh was it painful Brumboy68

Hopefully tomorrow you will be able to get through

Well when the male nurse entered and said to a fifty year old fat bloke, you really are not going to like me .
When he got what can only be described as a meat skewer out of this tube, and promptly pushed up my nose an then it goes through your sinuses , it is very unpleasant , but pain doesn't really affect me. But it is very uncomfortable as you know the length of the skewer and you can only see the last two cm that is not up your nose.
They then repeat the procedure down your throat but that isn't so uncomfortable. I must admit a guy opposite me had been in my bay in hospital since Wednesday coming in through a and e . He hadn't been covid tested I found that a bit worrying as all patients admitted you would have thought should be tested. Especially as it's the biggest hospital in Birmingham with the biggest covid death rate. -
