Hello,
I’m sorry I haven’t been around much. I’ve been going through a rough patch starting with the death of a close family member and ending up by being hospitalised for pneumonia. Twice.
I caught an awful bug off my daughter about 4 weeks ago that quickly went to my chest. You probably don’t want all the details but my gp sent me to a&e to get iv meds. I stayed in for 3 days and they diagnosed a lower respiratory infection - which my gp says in pneumonia. I came home for a week and started to get really short of breath, so had to call an ambulance and go back in. This time the infection had exacerbated my asthma. I’ve just got home after a week stay. I’ve had 2 more lots of antibiotics, oxygen, nebulisers, clexane, ecg and finally a ct scan. Results all good, although my bp is a bit high and my thyroid levels need to be rechecked as apparently I’m on the cusp.
The last 2 days I’ve been so tearful. I’m so scared of being home and not getting better again and having to go back. There’s no real evidence to back this up, I’ve been really looked after & feel like I’ve had a full MOT! I’m just very weak and feeble. I’ve missed my daughter and partner so much, but I don’t want to be sick Mummy, I want to be well and not have this fear - which I suspect is a trauma response. I need to take it easy but get strong.
I had to defer my start date for a new job as I am not well enough to start this week.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom, hugs, jokes or general advice & experience?
