Nowhere is safe to be!

[nomorepanic]

My uncle had been in hospital for 8 weeks and was diagnosed with Covid a week ago today. I just got the call to say he died this afternoon in hospital.

He obviously contracted it in hospital and his wife only went to see him a couple of times and she has been tested negative last week so he must have caught it in hospital from staff or other patients.

So sad that he went in for something else wrong with him and Covid kills him off. :weep:

My mum is devastated as you can imagine and it is just so unfair for him to die this way.

Nic, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Sending all my thoughts and good wishes your way.

Nic, this is terrible news. I'm so sorry to hear what your family are suffering during this already hard time. It's the place you expect to be safe so when this happens it must make you feel so powerless to protect loved ones. It must seek so unfair to go in for something and this happens.

You know we are all here for you if you need us. I hope you and your family have plenty of support around you to come to terms with his passing.

:hugs::hugs::hugs::flowers:

Very sorry to hear this, thoughts to you and yours.

Unfortunately hospitals are breeding grounds for this type of thing and it’s one of the main reasons why so many operations have been put off etc.

My local infirmary in Glasgow now only has two wards in the whole hospital that are deemed Covid free, and even then, due to a lack of staff, nurses and doctors are still being moved around wards freely.

It really does hit home the need to have a vaccine and get it to healthcare staff as a matter of urgency. Again, sorry for your loss.

Thank you all so much for the kindness :hugs:

My sister lives near my mum and has gone to be with her as I am too far away to just "pop round". On top of that I have to work tonight and can't change that at such short notice.

It has all come as a bit of a shock really as he was due to be moved to a specialist covid home today to recover before returning home next week so we were not expecting it to end up like this.

I 'think' I had Covid back in February. I was ill with flu type symptoms, gastric, cough etc. Felt like I was dying - which isn't unusual for me. I'd been to the hospital a week or so previously for a scan. Hubs and my son just seemed to have colds. At the time, I put it down to my fibro making things worse...:shrug:

Hub's uncle died of Covid a few months ago, only for him it was a 'blessing' because he had terminal cancer. He instructed the doctors not to intervene and to let him go. In that, this horrible virus did him a favour.

However, when Hub's dad went into the hospice a few months ago - he was only allowed to look at him through the window. He and his siblings had to stand outside in the cold and rain so his dad could know they were there. They did allow one of them in at the very end, and it was my husband, but by then, his dad was unconscious..:weep:

Thanks for all the lovely replies and so sorry to hear that other NMP members have lost loved ones because of this.

All very sad isn't it and no end in sight yet.

Same with me and my parents who thought we may have had Covid back in February, but sadly the doctors didn't seem to be interested at the time and seemed to play it down.

That all soon changed by the beginning of March though, when they (and the authorities) finally woke up to the stark reality of this pandemic, which was actually far worse in this country alone than what was realised at the time.

Luckily, we had all recovered from whatever we had by then.
