    I'm sorry to hear that @lisathomas50! I hope you're taking it easy so that you can recover. I'm glad your mum's been able to access some respite care in the meantime.

    I hope they are looking after you in the coronavirus ward @lisathomas50. Are there any pyjamas you can borrow or someone to take them to the reception?

    Sorry to hear your mum is in respite care at the moment, it sounds like a particularly tough time for you.

    Wishing you all the best of luck with your scan. I hope you continue to get the sleep you need and deserve.

    Please let us know if we can do anything to support you through this  <3

    Hi @lisathomas50 got to be a worry all round for you but try and go with the flow.
    If no one can take clean clothes in for you, the hospital will give you some of there, very fetching night clothes.
    From knowing people who have had the virus it's at least 3 days before any improvement, but yours may be a little longer with your chest. The tiredness and fatigue is part of it. You are sooo in the right place and Mom's prob having a great time x

    I'm sorry to hear that @lisathomas50, but hopefully you'll be able to get the support you need while in hospital. 

    Hmm, I had a quick look and I'm not sure what provision's in place in hospitals to provide people with clean pyjamas and underwear etc. Have you spoken to the hospital about whether they can provide you with anything, such as a clean gown, or put you in touch with anyone who might be able to help? Could a friend or neighbour drop anything off for you? 

    Edit: apologies, I hadn't refreshed the page and seen the latest replies.
