amey-
The doctor on the phone seemed to be fairly happy with my current condition, but is going to call daily to check that it doesn't degrade over the next few days.
Went out yesterday to put out the rubbish in the garden, the cold air set off a coughing fit and short shallow breathing cycle where I curled up in a ball and felt that I was suffocating, so a big relief to talk to a doctor.
Doctor was going to send us an oximeter, but pleased that we had one already.Think its going to be a long long time before I'm out on the bike again...
Childcare hasn't really been managed very well, but kids are still alive and getting fed and washed. Daughter has been spending a lot of time watching the iPad, sometimes doing some phonics and sitting with us while we watch something stupid on TV like Tipping Point.
Mum is out of lockdown, and dropped us off some lunch. She made us some Korean Yukgaejang soup, which I could actually smell a bit of, and I had a little cry.

Day 9 of symptoms.
Woke up much more comfortable, temp was almost normal, 37.2 ish.
Lungs feel really tired, still coughing, very out of breath.
Can't really speak too long without feeling out of breath.
Wife called GP for a sick note, and we've both been referred for further assessment.
Assessment said that breathing difficulties often come in about 10-12 days after initial symptoms, and that we should monitor O2 levels 3 times a day.
And that if it drops to 92 or less, to call 999.
