Well, Geoff's pre-op covid test was positive. So no surgery for him on Monday. Luckily he had the first Pfizer vaccination 41 days ago, so he doesn't seem badly affected. His sense of smell has gone (as had mine for two days) and he has a cough and stuffy nose. More worrying though is his continued weakness. So on Friday (after surgical nurse Sister Anne warned me sternly to stay away from him - and before we knew he was covid-y by the way - Sister was just assuming that I was because I felt so ill) he tried to make his own coffee in the kitchen and fell down. This was after ten pm, so I did what she had suggested and called our security company. Two large masked men came in and got him to his feet. After they'd gone and he was getting into bed he fell again. This time he managed to get up by himself after I pushed the chair closer for him to lean on, and then during the night he fell over again (I didn't hear that time). In the morning he seemed much better but last night, dammit, he fell over again. I don't quite know how to strengthen him up other than by giving him more protein and a mug of Ensure every day.
PS: I phoned Deep Blue (our security company) to let them know that unfortunately my husband has Covid and they should probably self-isolate for ten days - with apologies.
