Hope the others on your weekend are ok and your Mum!

Rest, rest and rest. Keep hydrated. Lie on your front or sit up with loads of pillows if you’re struggling to breathe (front if it’s your chest, upright if it’s the sticky throat thing. Take your temperature regularly.I hope someone can help with your mum - and she can be persuaded to keep well away from you. Ideally don’t let her in your room or share a bathroom. Can someone help with the animals too?2

hope you don't suffer too terribly and your able to keep a distance from your mum
this is my worst nightmare , getting it whilst caring for mum but ultimately its one of those things , wrong time , wrong place no matter how careful you are.
now its just vital you avoid being too close to her , I've given lots of thought to what i would need to do in your position ( probably too much to be honest) and the only thing I think I would do is book in to a prem inn or air b&b and hope someone would take over the reigns with mum.
I imagine your family will in these circumstances step in ?
