larkim Sep 2023 2:28pm, 8 Sep 2023 21,940 posts	0 larkim Looks like "congenital heart disease" might be the trigger for him - though it doesn't feel like a "disease" I believe septal defects carry that classification. Will follow up with medics of course. Does appear that being post-op doesn't drop you into any category though, which is reassuring. I suppose he just didn't want to catch covid in the few days post op as that would have been a tough complication. That period is over now though, so I'll chill.

HappyG(rrr) Nov 2023 10:13am, 20 Nov 2023 48,545 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) I've had tickle throat, headache, shivers, flushes and achy body for 4 days. Haven't been testing though, think I've run out of them. My symptoms are pretty minor, so to be honest, I'm afraid I'm treating it just as a cold/flu, whatever it might be. Jaks, hope you don't feel too bad and recover quickly. My only (tested) bout was pretty minor. G
Jaks Nov 2023 10:17am, 20 Nov 2023 5,745 posts	0 Jaks I’ve had to take a test as I’m supposed to be covering for someone at work on Wed and we see a lot of vulnerable people at work. We have a cottage booked in the Peak District this weekend where we are meeting up with my daughter and granddaughter so hoping it will be negative in a few days.
