"Concern and reassurance."

I have had Covid and I am a high risk patient as I have the blood condition CLL. I felt very tired and had what felt like a cold and phlegm on my chest. I also passed out and hit my head on the door and on the bathroom floor causing a nasty cut and it bled for some time. I felt muzzy headed and was fearful of bending down in case I passed out again which did in fact happen again when I bent down to my oven door. I was perhaps a bit more prepared and was aware of what was going to happen, but despite trying to hold on, I fell again on the kitchen floor and banged my head again, but did not cut it this time.

A nurse called and checked me over after the first fall and I spoke to haematology. It was decided to monitor me via the virtual Covid ward and the people there contacted me regularly and I was assured by one nurse that they had had similar symptoms to me when they had Covid and that it had taken a few weeks to return to normal, which was reassuring to hear.

I am still suffering with a muzzy head and balance problems which continue to make me fearful of falling again but I am hoping that my symptoms will soon pass. The staff I spoke to each time I had a phone call were always happy to listen and to offer advice and I am grateful to them for their concern and reassurance.
