Oh No!

Going back to the Covid vaccine.  JayCee ( https://nobodsdiary.blogspot.com/) mentioned she wasn't sure if she could get the vaccine as she has a bad reaction to Penicillin.  Only when she mentioned this did it occur to me my mum is very allergic to Penicillin too.  I cannot bear the thought of telling her she might not be able to get the vaccine.  She'll be devasted.  She's convinced this will be the saviour of the world and cannot wait for her turn.  I don't want to be the one to tell her but can I not tell her?  This is the question!

    As your Mum has had a " bad" reaction to penicillin it will be in her medical notes, so her GP should be the one to tell her I think. Just read something about it and apparently it depends on how severe the reaction as to whether she will be given the vaccine.

      I really hope she'll be able to have it or there will be no consoling her! Not to mention I was looking forward to her getting it soon being 86. I'd feel much better if she got it but clearly the medics will make that decision.

    PS... She probably wouldn't believe you if you told her anyway!!

    From what I understand they're rolling out two vaccines so maybe one will be suitable. Just found this https://www.anaphylaxis.org.uk/covid-19-advice/pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-and-allergies/ which might be helpful.

      Thank you for that information. I looked it up and it appears allergy to Penicillin doesn't count so she should be able to get it! Thanks again, that's reassured me hugely. x

I Didn't Want to Just Disappear!

I hate it when bloggers just disappear!  I'm aware I am guilty of this so I'm here to say thanks for listening to my tales and for all the lovely comments but I no longer feel the need to let the world know my comings and goings.  To be honest I've even stopped reading most blogs now too hence the lack of comments from me.  I've taken more to watching You Tube if and when I have time.  In summer I always spend less time on the computer as I have too much to do in the garden etc  but I don't foresee myself coming back to blogging this time.  I've come and gone too often now and although we should never say never, I think this is it. We've been to Australia to visit with my son, his partner and their dog and we had a wonderful time.  Now, 3 weeks since we came home, it feels like it never even happened! I'll probably lurk around some blogs from time to time.  I hope you all keep well and stay safe. Bye for now. xx

LIfe Goes On.

And so it continues - Covid has made its way to my family now.  My daughter has tested positive today.  Of course, sods law, she was the one who dropped her dog at our house this morning.  Normally her husband does it but she said the dog wasn't going to let her leave the house without him so she left early enough to drop him off with us.  Fortunately she's wasn't in for long and kept fairly distant from us but still...   She tested herself when she went home at lunchtime to check on her daughter who has tonsilitis.  At work she'd felt a bit ropey and thought a test would probably come up negative however that's her grounded now for the duration and I only hope she gets a mild version of it and that no-one else gets it from her!  Her hubby picked the dog up early this afternoon wearing a mask while waiting outside.  I daresay it will be this way for a week or so now. We have made the bold decision to go to Sydney to visit our son!  We ca...

Plastered

 Well, we're plastered!  It's looking good.  As I sit here typing this hubby is at my door vaccuming some of the dust.  He's been going round smoothing off the bits that stuck where they weren't supposed to be and I've just watched him lol.  I feel I've hit a bit of a brick wall today.  I think we were so busy preparing for this and today is the first day I've really stopped and it's hit me and I feel exhausted!  I think hubby must run on Duracell batteries - clearly my batteries are cheap and nasty ones! While the plasterer was here we were 'trapped' outside the dining room which is effectively the middle of the house.  We call it the dining room but its the main room in the house - almost like a dining kitchen would be as the kitchen is off the dining room and the living room is off the dining room but we use the dining room most of the time, its where everyone congregates so it was awkward not having it in use.  Fortunately we can get out ...
