Sorry to hear that Chris, and I really hope it proves to be just a sore throat.
Your Mum and Dad have lived through worse, and they know they'll see you just as soon as it's safe to do so.
I think you're doing the right thing, but it's cold comfort just now I expect.
On the groceries front; do you have an Iceland store within a few miles ?
It might not be exactly high end, but they are still offering next day delivery (free if you spend over £35) and they don't just sell stuff for the freezer. They sell salad makings, fresh fruit and vegetables, domestic necessities like toilet paper, kitchen towels, cleaning stuffs, bread, milk, eggs and the like too.
Iceland have always done home deliveries; they were set up for it long before the lockdowns started, and they aren't as overwhelmed as places like Sainsburys, M&S, etc.,
Just a basic grocery but at supermarket prices.
I know this probably sounds like an advert but for months I've only shopped online. Usually from Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, etc., and I can truthfully say that Iceland beats them all on delivery and equals them on quality and prices for the range that they do carry.

but as I have said in the past, knowing other people have broken legs doesn't make a sprain hurt any less. Speaking of broken legs, I have met people who have criticized me for my caution and while they have certainly led interesting lives, they have made a much higher number of visits to the ER than I have.
