Hospital update

So today I was seen while having a neb. I was still very wheezy and out of breath. They decided that the decision about new medications needed to be made by a consultant and that I needed further bloods and sputum sample sent off. Cue me waiting hours for a plan to be made. Eventually they decided on montelukast and loratidine. The ward doesn't stock them as I'm still on the assessment unit. Then when the meds arrive from pharmacy the doctors decided that they don't want me to have loratidine but they'd gone home and not explained to anyone why!!! Very frustrating. But on a plus note my peak flows have hit the 400 mark first time in a week!!!
