Hi LeviLovR pal. Yeh, I wasn't too bad to start with it was Aidy that was struggling and whimpering like a wounded puppy and I was trying to help him. We both knew we'd got it, don't know where from, probs skwl. Then suddenly I nose dived like a shot plane. I was burning up, and yes I'll say it as it was, I kept craping my pants (diahorrea everywhere. It's one of the major first symptoms together with stomach pain)! Then I started to struggle to breathe and couldn't lay flat, so the flare went up and the Ambulance was called. I got put on an emergency admissions ward from A&E and after a week or so ended up in ICU. After a couple of days they told me I was going to be put to sleep so a machine couldd help me breathe. When they woke me up I felt them pulling the tube out of my throat and I had tubes every where down stairs and in arms. It was pretty embarrassing when the nurses took them out … and painful!

The worst bit though is having been in beds next to people who I got talking to, as we all gasped for breathe! These were men, some middle aged, some elderly … but all very nice. You know me I will talk to anyone about anything and we all shared stories. The nurses would say to the men, 'you do know he's just a young boy?' I even got to find out what a 'bomboclaat' is! Something which we always call each other in the skwl yard … but don't actually know what it means! Then they gradually started to disappear into ICU. I would ask the nurses how they were and they would answer honestly, pretty poorly. Even the nurses realised it was pointless lying to me cos I'd just keep asking. Then when I ended up in ICU, to start with I could see some of them. Occasionally the curtains would be drawn and loads of hectic activity … and of course I could still hear the staff and machines. Hearing words like, 'lets call it' and the constant bleep of the ECG just hit me like a brick each time. Then the curtains would be pulled back and the space was either empty or someone else was there instead. I asked the nurses and they were honest and said they'd passed away. I lost so many new friends in a short space of time, I was actually quite glad when they said they were gonna put me to sleep and I did feel really bad. But I'm so so lucky cos I recovered … so many aren't and if you end up in ICU you have a 50 / 50 chance of coming out again. I think it was my youth that saved me, it could have been so different and I am so grateful to everyone at the Hospital.

Aidy recovered well while I was in Hospital. Jay, Mum and Dad haven't had it and I don't want them to get it either. We've decided today that me and Aidy will do all the shopping. Mum will make the list and Dad will take us to the supermarket. Then me and Aidy will do the shopping because hopefully we can't get it again, yet anyways. We gonna try to keep the rest of them safe now.

Dad started filling the pool Friday morning. I think they were waiting to see if I actually got released first. It's quite big and I think it will take a few days to fill. It's actually not just my present, but a present to all of us boys … and to keep us a bit occupied now it's getting warmer. There's gonna be a lot of wet clothes!! Mum will go mad, but we'll clean the mess up.

Thank you for sharing about your Dad, I'm sure he was relieved you were all there for him and helped him leave peacefully. I've learnt death is part of life in the last month … but it's not something I want to experience any more for a very long while. I'm glad you were there for your Dad, he was there for you.

I think the ankle's virtually healed, it will be 7 weeks by next Tuesday since I got that support thing. The right ankle is still a little bit swollen and can be a bit painful, but I'm sure it'll improve now I'm up and about. I've had a lot of bad luck recently, but at least I'm still here to do the next stupid stunt!

Ross has obviously been stuck at the flat with his Mum and only heard from Jay that I was in Hospital. Just like here I just suddenly disappeared. He's going mad with just his Mum and she's got to go and look after his Gran.

I face timed Ross this evening from Jay's phone (I'm still not allowed back on social media, but while I'm in the good books I'm gonna push). Ross will be mad for me saying, but he actually started crying when he realised it was me. He was expecting Jay but got my ugly mush instead. I then proceeded to take the p*ss out of him for crying, which I WILL pay for but hey gotta live and you can't change me! Ross will probably be coming to stay with us while his Mum goes to live at his Gran's … so it's gonna get pretty tight in our bedroom again.

It's nice to be missed LeviLovR and I've missed being here and talking to you.

Stay safe, well and locked in U'r house pal!
