I went for treatment on Friday, and then yesterday evening, the hospital rang me to say I had been in close contact with someone who tested positive and I needed to isolate for 14 days, thus no treatment this week. I was, as am sure you can imagine, not pleased. Anyway today they rang me again to say that in fact, because I am triple jabbed I need to do 7 lateral flows tests and dont need to self isolate. I have done one negative one today and have sent for PCR test too, as more accurate. I have no symptoms and think I was over 2metres away from the other patient and we both had masks on. I had PCR test on weds before treatment, but despite being due to have treatment Friday ( still not going ahead of course), they wont be doing another one until before treatment in new year . Does that make sense to you - I thought I should have on before every treatment but they say hospital guideline is every 3 weeks - seems madness to me . I do wonder if is to do with test supply and lab capacity. Anyway - next time i am in unit, I will sit in chair as far away from everyone else as possible and be unsociable ( not a lot new there). And to add insult to injury, I didnt much like the guy who likely tested positive. Judgemental moi?
