Hi everyone

I'm sorry to have to tell you that Annette and her husband Vince have both been diagnosed with Covid 19. That's the diagnosis that no one who is living with an incurable cancer wants to be receiving.  Understandably, they are both quite ill. Vince was first to go down with it, followed a couple of days later by Annette. Vince had a horrible cough and both are suffering from bones being painful and sweating. Annette describes the illness thus:  W H A M!!! It hits you, knees shaking, sweating by just the effort to stand up, so you go to the toilet then straight back to bed. We are both the same with very sore back, ribs etc. Nothing usually floors me like this! That's seven days tomorrow I've been in bed. 

Now I'm not what you would call a particularly religious man but since Annette emailed me about Vince and then a couple of days later gave me the news that she herself had gone down with Covid 19, I've been praying every day for both of them.

Peggy, Annette has been asking me how you are so you can be sure that I'll let her know. 

Take care and stay safe everyone

  • Hi Ellie

    Annette and I have been emailing almost every day since Vince was diagnosed and then Annette showed symptoms. I    had also been thinking of letting everyone know but like you I didn't want to without her permission. I received her permission a couple of days ago, I think she'd have done so herself but hasn't the strength to get involved in a battle to overcome the system to post a message.

    Any news are they any better ?

  • Hi 

    Thanks for asking but unfortunately I haven't heard anything from Annetta . The last time was 3 days ago and then she was saying that she was just about able to text, she was struggling to do anything and had been in bed for 7 days. I'm worried, really worried because we were emailing almost every day. I would love to hear something myself. 

    Take care Ruth
