    It seems to be one thing after another for you just lately. I hope you can find out what’s going on with your mum and that she makes a speedy recovery xx

    I hope all goes well for your Mum - it's almost worse not knowing exactly what's going on. :( If you can get an up to date picture it will no doubt answer questions from the rest of the family too.

    Oh no - that’s awful after shielding for so long. Hopefully she won’t have been in contact long enough for her to pick the infection up. 
    Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

  • That's awful. I hope she is ok. I'm sorry she has been exposed though. That's just frustrating for you x

    That’s terrible after all that shielding, no wonder you’re angry. Fingers crossed she doesn’t pick it up and she gets her heart issues sorted quickly xx

    It's unbelievable isn't it? I suppose anyone could be exposed and hospitals are probably still testing everyone so cases are more likely to be picked up at that point, but there needs to be some way of segregating each admission if it's not to add to the spread. I would be angry too. 
    I hope your Mum is okay and the pacemaker helps.
