Hi, my dear uncle had so much to live for, he had heart failure symptoms which had to be controlled with medication but he still really loved life, he was interested in and appreciative of the people around him and was kind to us all. He was a positive person. However during lockdown he had to socially isolate and his heart symptoms got worse, to the point that there was no other option but to admit him to hospital. They had to try and reduce the fluid in his body caused by his heart failure. For some time the medication didn't work and we were at the point where if it didn't work within 24 to 48 hours there would be nothing else they could do. Then, at the last minute, the drugs started to work. We rejoiced, as he started to get better, that Sunday he was so bright, he phoned us all from hospital (no visitors were allowed) and we were so happy to see how well he was doing. B4 he went into hospital he had tested negative for covid, so he was able to go straight to a ward without covid. A week later he was tested again, still negative, then after another 7 days he tested positive, so he'd caught it on the ward. At first he was asymptomatic and they told us he would be coming home the next week, we were so happy, we rushed to get everything ready for him, we were told he'd be out within the next day or two, it seemed so wonderful as his 90th birthday was due in another week or so, and he had so wanted to get to 90. We planned a socially distanced party for him, we bought presents for him, then within a day or two everything seemed to change, the covid seemed to be taking hold. He got worse and worse and then within another week it had killed him, so he died two days ago. It seems so heartbreaking and unfair. Sorry to share such a sad story with you, but we are so upset, that his recovery was within his grasp, he could come home to us, and then things changed so suddenly. I won't go into the way that last week progressed, but we just want him back,he was meant to be coming home, they'd sorted his problem out with his heart, he'd been so good during lock down, it was to be a new start for him, his birthday, maybe a chance to get out and about a bit again, to do the things he loved again, now that his heart was better, but then it was all over. It's not fair, he didn't deserve that. and he didn't make his 90th birthday, he was short by 5 days. He had some of cards open anyway, on his bedside table in hospital, wehope he got some pleasure from them. But he was such a lovely kind uncle, this shouldn't have happened to him, i feel so angry upset and sad
