Been unwell

[jayspurs]

Hi everyone.

I hope everyone is ok and looking forward to the warmer spring weather 😊

I unfortunately have been in the hospital for the last 3 weeks. I had a pneumothorax and also had the added bonus of having pneumonia and a tear in the same lung. I have had a secondary pleurodesis to the bottom section of my right lung, I already had the talc procedure carried out when I was 22.

My bronchiectasis is bilateral in both my lungs and I have emphysema throughout both lungs. I am a long way from running again but hope to get back there soon.

I have.really missed the forum and will spend the next days catching up on all the news.

Take care everyone

Justin

Oooh you poor sausage! Very much hoping you soon feel better and stronger. Stay in touch

[helingmic]

Justin, I will not talk too much about pneumothoirax as this is not nice.

I am so sorry you had this all piling up on you.

I could try to sheer you up somehow by saying that bronchiectasiscan be sort of maintained to a low level. But, for now, realx and get yourself mended. Eat well. I hope you can sleep well. I got a frame to lift my chest up from the hospital physiotherapist, perhaps you could ask for that as nights are more comfortable when the mucus stays down rather than invade yout throat at night itme.

I want a progress report please! Hope ou get better, really, really soon. My thoughts go with you. Mic

So sorry to hear this Justin, you must be feeling very fed up. Pneumonia really knocks it out of you but you are young and strong and will recover well. Meanwhile keep your spirits up and look forward to the long evenings and getting back to your running.

You've been through the mill a bit Justin, wish you better soon, rest up xxxx

[Sohara]

Oh Justin I am just so sorry to hear your news..I had been wondering where you were, but was hoping that your absence just meant that things were going OK for you.

You have had a bad time with things..how worrying for you, and pneumonia is so awful...it will take some time for you to get back to where you were before.

Please take things easy and get really well again.

I have missed you

*BIG HUG*

Sorry you're not so good Justin

There's a vaccine for pneumonia (check out blf.org.uk/pneumonia). You should look into it if it hasn't already been suggested.

Hope you feel better soon
