Hi everyone!
Still in hospital and on 5 ltres O2, but the results are back and it turns out that I’ve had an early Christmas present from my 2 and 3 year old grandchildren, known as Respiratory Syncitial Virus, (the illness that is, not the grandchildren).
They just sneeze all over you, rub their snotty nose on their sleeve and move on, whereas my heart failure couldn’t cope and my lungs swilled with fluid.
If they can get my oxygen levels back up I can go home, so they’ll be gradually reducing them now.
A positive aspect was that I got to see my consultant who is behind with appointments through no fault of her own, and get up to date with my AF and HF. She is sending me to a geneticist in Belfast as she can’t find a cause for either condition, and without a cause obviously she has no cure to suggest.
In the meantime I must avoid all infections, (?!), and in the event of catching anything, must present at A&E immediately. (So much for my flu jab!)
As an aside, has anyone any experience of Punctate Inner Choroidopathy? I know this isn’t the correct forum, but a young member of my family was diagnosed with this over a year ago, in one eye, and found, while I was here, that it is now in her other. Quite devastating.
Am adding a pic. No, not me, but my new glasses. One had bought them online and had Specsavers put one’s prescription in them when one opened The Times!
Do so hate it when one is slavishly copied, but they do say imatation is flattering. 💕
Hope you are all as well as can be expected. Xxxx
