Have been dealing with a COVID outbreak at home. I tested positive on 3rd Sep the day before we were booked in for our first vaccination. Didn't quite make it. My wife has been in hospital since the 13th and has been in an induced coma for the last 10 days on a ventilator. They are doing a tracheotomy today so they can bring her out of sedation but still maintain her oxygen. We are cautiously optimistic at this stage. I think her asthma left her pretty vulnerable to complications but she seems to have passed the worst of it.

Wow, that's awful, Stephen. Here's wishing her (and you) a speedy and full recovery. Keep us updated.

Wow, so sorry to hear that Stephen, such bad luck! And in Australia, where cases have been quite low compared to the rest of the world. Hope for the best!

That's terrifying, I hope she gets better soon.

I'm so sorry to hear that Stephen. I hope that you will fall into the "asymptomatic" category, and that your wife improves after the tracheotomy.
Take care. We'll be thinking of you.

Karen FINALLY got her second shot yesterday, no, Friday? Is this Sunday? Friday then. Friday morning. Oh no wait: Thursday. I'm confused. Anyway, she's now fully vaxxed so thank the Great Pixie for that. Took nearly six weeks when it should have been four since her first shot but at least we got there. Oh, and I got about a dozen texts with appointments for her to go to a vaxx centre, half of them AFTER I had spent a half hour on the phone explaining she is bed-bound. Idiots.
