Started having a really bad chest infection

22nd February and after 2 more admissions overnight on further occasions I'm back in hospital. Just can't shift this infection dragging me down now. I'm normally, right let's get on with it, do breathing exercises, take meds regularly, start building up walking distance round house first, then out a little bit further each day, build up strength and stamina.

I'm back on hospital (Sunday) and still not well. It's wearing me down now and I'm getting low in mood.

Any suggestions anybody please xxx

Hopefully the treatment you receive in hospital will get on top of this infection and you will soon be able to get out and about again.

Sending you my best wishes for a speedy recovery

Thank you knitter, going for ct scan to make sure I don't have a clot on my lungs. Then home to my own bed hopefully

Sorry to read this Jummie, I hope they soon have you right. Better not send any xxx like Sassy, they might be misconstrued ;-)

Sorry you are struggling at the moment Jummie. Hopefully once the abs or IVs kick in you will feel better and get your admirable fighting spirit back.

Really sorry to hear about your setback. You take care and hopefully you will soon be back on that climb. That's the thing isn't it, it's not just about getting better like other people, it's harder for us with our breathing problems. I will wait at the top (once I get there which will take a while) and we will sit and say that was hard, but we never give up trying 😀 Keep smiling my fellow sufferer
