Just got this from my cousin's duaghter...
David has been taken in to hospital. After his vaccine 2 weeks ago he became ill on Saturday and was taken to hospital. He has something called gullien barre syndrome. He has lost all feeling in legs and arms. He was rushed down to intensive care yesterday morning and is now unconscious and on a ventilator as he has a bad chest infection.
He's obviously an unlucky one, only 58.
Nearly a year later and he's just starting to recover. Paralysed for 10 months.
Found some movement end of last year. Can sit in a chair now.
Today I got this message
I can't search on this device, I have to get a nurse to do it or wait for Hannah to visit. I operate this with my head, there is a little camera sitting on top of the screen and a micro dot stuck on the frame of my glasses and it turns my head into a cursor, I move my head to scroll down etc. so it has limited use and as I have no movement in my hands, it is impressive that I am trying this with my head. it also speaks the words for me so I can communicate with people but I have had my trachy removed this morning so I can now speak unaided for the first time in 11 months. I
Update today is that he's able to sit up. But still needs feeding, washing, shaving and most other things.
He's not far off being able to stand.
He's hoping to come over here before end of this year.

Wifes ex has covid. His job is delivering to supermarkets and filling the shelves so meets a lot of people during the day. His boss said just come to work if you feel up to it. Step son's mates wife has covid. She works in a sandwich shop and her boss said almost the same
I work with tourists - well, one day a week, people straight off a plane or out of an hotel full of random people that also came off a plane!! The rest of the days I'm in contact with tourists or people who are working with them.
I'm not aware of anyone testing. And TBF, the two times I had it I had no symptoms, so when I recently had a runny face cold, I just distanced and assumed it was the normal runny face cold I get every year. If it had been covid, I suspect I'd have been as symptomless as usual. Might be wrong, but like I say, no one here is testing - but when anyone has a cold, the bisous stop for a bit and theres a bit more distance. That's all
