Thank you both, yes definitely on the improve but I’ll still be taking it easy for a while, just in case. I’ve heard a few nasty stories from some who haven’t. Ironically I had, only days before, had my fourth vaccine, intentionally before going away. Well, maybe it did help a bit. I’ve bounced back a bit quicker than OH at any rate. He had his several months ago.
Out of 16 siblings and in-laws only two escaped, one of whom had had it a few months back.

Really pleased you’re on the road to feeling better. Hubby had his covid booster alongside his flu jab last week and had a bit of a sweat and light-headedness a few hours later but has been fine since. It really shows how contagious it is for so many at the family gathering to get covid Hezz. The vaccine has always been to reduce severity of symptoms rather than a prevention so hopefully it made a difference considering your hubby hasn’t shaken it off as quickly. Not sure the antibodies last for long - think I read about 12 weeks, though don’t quote me on that! Keep resting up.

For sure, having had a small taste of it, I wouldn’t want to get it with no vaccine at all. I still have fluid in my ears. The plane trip back home was very painful, and even the 20 minute drive back up the range from the coast where I do our shopping comes very close the making them hurt. That’s probably the worst still affecting me.
The older members of the family were able to access antiviral drugs so that was a relief for us all. There are a few dodgy tickers on OH’s side of the family.

I've never hear of it affecting anyone's ears before Hezz, and I know a few people who've caught it. Take care, I hope they clear up, earache is like toothache 😫

Goodness Hezz! Am sorry you've been poorly with covid!
I honestly thought that Australia hardly had any cases left?
Feel better really soon, get the OH to do everything for you xx

Take care, I hope they clear up, earache is like toothache 😫 I think my ears were a bit “wet” anyway, JB, and so probably they weren’t draining properly. I do tend to have problems with my sinuses when I have a virus as well and we all know that they are all connected. I have flown once before with a flu on board and that was pure torture.

A friend has problems with sinuses and he was recommended Nettle Tea and he said it works and he sounds better. May help.
Glad you feeling better.

Thanks from me too Sue, I'm just getting over a really bad cold, but I'll keep this in mind.
Still like my Neti Pot though.

I can vouch for netti pots too JB, they're really good aren't they?
I make up my own saline instead of buying it and making it lukewarm is really comfortable then 😌
