We are in the perfect position here to avoid contacts with children and public transport and being in a very high risk category we are taking things canny. Face it, with few intensive care beds likely to be available and no ECMOs in Scotland and precious few in England, we are not going to be at the front of the queue . The NHS has already prepared the way by saying they will have to 'make difficult decisions' - this is medic speak for 'over 60? Tough luck' and so it should be. Taking reasonable precautions seems only sensible.
I like to think we are too!
Loo and Kitchen roll in stock (not as bad as the van in the papers!!), dad has had pneumonia several times, mums a wreck and on that many pills she rattles, I've been sniffling since the flu jab wore off and colds for me usually go to my chest and I bark like a dog (I'm 46) so mum asks if my will is uptodate!
So, trying to limit where we go (its in Shropshire, but not around us, yet) took dog to vet last week, going back this week, different vet practice came for castration last week, that vet practice for estrumating today, AI on Saturday, so as long as I'm not contagious or none of the vets are, we're fine, though you can see how it gets about many and I'm only by myself!
And I still haven't planted my spuds, meant to do it last Wednesday and every day since!
Also Eddie doesn't harbour any ill feelings towards me regarding loss of testicles!! Though his mother today didn't half eye up the vet!!
