Some of you know I have recurrent lung infections, and I only have 1 lung, due to the big C.
Well a recent infection seems to have come back with a vengeance and amongst the coughing and spluttering my breathing became more and more difficult till it got to the stage for that treble 9 call.
Ambulance staff were great, A&E was busy but at least I was getting treatment and carried on with a variety of drips, oxygen, steroids and nebulisors until stable, overnight in AEAU...Heart rate very high so had 3 ecg's and a chest x ray........so well looked after, no complaints...... :y :y
There was a few moments when i really thought this was it, but thankfully, yet again have pulled through, and it is 4 years since I was last in hospital for similar reasons, though that was pleurisy and somewhat more painful.... :'(
Had to ring work, said I could not come in as I was in hospital, and will not be in for at least another week or two, got to get rid of all traces otherwise it will be back quickly.... :( :(
-
Not nice. :( I had a similar thing once due to an allergy. Not being able to breathe well and knowing that you're relying on help turning up is worrying.
I'm glad to hear the outcome was good and I hope the rest helps you get rid. :y
-
lets hope it clears up soon mate. hope all turns out ok for you
-
Thats not good, hope it clears up :y
-
Bloody hell Mike, you need to chill work should be the last thing on your mind. I know we all need money but your health is far more important.....
Take care

Glad to hear things are reasonably OK, must have ben a tad scary though for everyone involved :(
As to work ... you don't go back until you are fit enough to go back .... end of story.
You work to live .. you do NOT live to work.

Bloody hell Mike, I can't leave you alone for more than 5 minutes! :o Seriously though mate, please take more care of yourself, 'ease springs' & sod work it will still be there waiting for you when you go back! Even Sylvia winced when I told her (see, she likes you really! ;D) :y

Steady on Mike, you'll have people talking! ;D
Actually my Consultant INSISTED I be transfered from James Cook to the RVI at Newcastle as soon as I stabilised as he doesn't trust the buggers there (neither do I :P) so I had a nice jolly up the A19 in the early hours at what felt like full throttle ;D No complaints about the NHS from this lucky bugger!!! ;D :y
As said earlier, don't forget to keep your end of the health bargain & give yourself plenty of time to recover properly before rejoining the fray! :y

Keep taking it easy Vamps..... lets hope you are fit and well very soon.

That's where I was originally misdiagnosed as a no-hoper and given drugs costing a £1000 a month! Myself & Syl trawled the Internet & scoured the World for someone willing & able to operate on my tumour. Eventually we found the guy who saved my life not 40 miles away!!! ::) Life's a Lottery & i've won the Jackpot more than once! :y

Well done Phil. There is a guy is Stockton who is beating the big C,against all odds, was recently on TV but I know him and have had many a chat, he uses a strange cocktail of herbal remedies and things, i have a list somewhere, but his tumor has shrunk and he is still with us.... :y :y

Take it easy Mike - I know the feeling well - been there in A&E before my Asthma was controlled - had one 1 week stay after being injected with adrenalin by paramedics and a blue light & siren job.
Been ok for a few years now - it's not nice being unable to breathe - so my best wishes to you for a speedy return to your family. ;)
-
Crikey Vamps (don't feel like I know you well enough to call you Mike, somehow ;D) - take care of yourself! Hope you're feeling well again soon :)
-
Can't leave you alone for 5 minutes can we Mike :o :o ::) ::)

As said, take it easy and return only when ready :y

Believe me it was, when I sent swmbo to make the call I began to break down, only the presence of Miss Vamps stopped me, making me force back the tears..........On the upside I seem to be improving so long may it last.... :y
Sorry to read of your news with the car, at least you are OK and LD bumping his new van, what can I say.... :D :D :D

Get Well Soon Vamps. As an emphysema sufferer I empathise. But do agree with everyone else, take good care of yourself. :y
