Things that make you SAD thread.

I saw my one neighbour who's an Albion STH and we has short, civil conversation about the result. No abusive shouting. Nothing.

I can't say I'm more than a tiny bit fussed.

When MIL was tested positive with Covid it's been up and down. One day high temp, very low bp, and not eating and oxygen levels low. Next we hear she's doing better, sitting up in bed swearing and wanting 5 rounds of toast, and temp, bp, oxygen much better. Then it went back to looking bleak, breathing laboured, difficulty swallowing and high temp again. Today, she's taking fluids and smiling.

The uncertainty is horrible. Every time the phone goes you get that awful feeling.

 

[Pablowolf]

Yeah, we had to remove the house phone from the hospital list and put my number on as everytime the phone rang, my Mom would freak out thinking it was the hospital calling about my Dad.

My wife and I witnessed a fatal stabbing last night outside our apartment. Sitting on the couch watching TV, we heard an argument outside between some kids and 2 Deliveroo riders. Next thing a load of kids turned up on bikes, big brawl broke out, lots of mini scuffles, and the we saw a kid on the ground. I thought he was knocked out but his mates ran over and started screaming for an ambulance when they saw him.
My wife rang the ambulance, a passing driver stopped and put a blanket on him. The worst part was how motionless the boy was. We watched paramedics do CPR for 20 mins trying to start his heart - it didnt look good and we found out this morning he died.
We are pretty shook up. Not nice to think that we watched a kids dying moments.

What a senseless waste of a life

 

[lemonjelly]

went to whatsapp a friend of mine earlier this evening. saw he hadn't been active since 7 january.
a mutual friend looked and saw he hadn't been on facebook since 4 january.
I panicked. He lives alone, and is very covid vulnerable.
I realised that he has no family locally (his mum died 2 years ago), and I have no contact with any of his other friendship groups.
I started stressing, and felt the only place who might be able to reassure me he's ok would be his place of work. Went onto their social media pages to get their contact details, and found a RIP post mentioning him.

 

[Pablowolf]

Sorry to read that. Do you know if it's Covid that got him?

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Shit. That's sad, sorry to hear that LJ

 

[lemonjelly]

I've no idea. It's likely going to be difficult finding any information tbh. I'm not family, and he had lot of friends, but the friendship circles were disparate.
I'm suspecting covid - he was shielding after all. He was a big fella too.
3 of us used to get together for each of our birthdays every year. We were due to meet the week lockdown was announced.
I'm in bits. He and I went to a LOT of gigs over the years, and went all over the country together for music.
All I can think about is how I miss my friend.

Really missing my girl

My Uncle this year has lost his mother in law to Covid, had his daughter in law diagnosed with bowel cancer and has just found out he has lymphoma. Life is fucking shit sometimes. He’s the loveliest guy you would ever want to meet.

Christ. That's some shit couple of months.

Daft Punk have retired. Boooo.

My niece had gone a week overdue with her second little boy, she had it this morning, stillborn, were just numb, their family is obviously devastated, they're a nice couple they didn't deserve this, whatever shit you think you're going through, you're not

 

[lemonjelly]

sorry to hear that Paul. Gutting news for the entire family that is.

 

[Parkins left foot]

That is a terrible thing to hear Paul - to go that far then this.

Cannot begin to feel what they do (and indeed all of the family)

 

[Trips]

Dreadful news Paul, thoughts with you, your niece and family

 

[sycophantia]

Thats horrible mate, we had a miscarriage after a few months (many years ago) and my son and his wife lost 2 in early stages which is bad enough but to go full term, I just can't imagine what they're going through.

 

[Johnny75]

Sorry to hear that Paul, thoughts are with you and your family.

 

[PPB]

Awful Paul, so sorry. Thoughts are with you all.
