Home again
Margaret, if gets bad in next few hours, CALL 111. Period. Kindest Wishes, judg69
The a Nurse Been this morning I go to Breathe easy on a Monday I asked the hospital if it was ok to go they said yes. .I had a bad night and this morning took over 3 hours to get ready from 7am my heart rate was 135 and sats 74. The nurse came just after they started to come up she stayed until they up to 88. Then after she had gone they fell again had real struggle to go to Breathe easy. They took my sats there and I'd dropped to 62 so came home and waiting for the nurse Best wishes
Hope you are ok Margaret, you are having a time of it. I really hope things start to improve for you soon. Keep thinking positively, and please make sure you get all the help you need. Thinking of you my dear friend love Bernadette 😳 xxx
No no no Margaret, I am horrified to hear this!!! You and Frank cannot be left to deal with this alone. Rapid response or no rapid response, I can't help but feel you are being let down, badly. I am furious for you. You make sure you call 999 if you have to. There are echoes here of what I endured with my precious Mother, and I am so so upset to hear they've discharged you like this!!
I will be thinking of you xxxx
Thank you for your kind post the hospitals really don't want to know they were going to discharge me Friday then Saturday hung on to me till Sunday night Sent home with one days anti biotic and steroid absolute rubbish xxx
Thank you have Been trying to go to Bed since 9 couldn't get Breathing under control and pain playing up had morphine tablets upped at the hospital But always another problem to contend with it just goes on and on hoping I can get to hospice Because I get more help there and can speak to nurse practitioner and hopefully see the counsellor if I can pull myself round sorry to be such a pain just having really rough time again xxx
Hi Margaret, please don't feel you have to reply to every message and PM as it would be exhausting for you. You give us updates here and that's more then enough.
I felt angry at them sending you home but if the Rapid Response people come twice a day, then at least it means you and Frank have someone to consult and discuss symptoms, sats etc. Maybe they feel you'd be less stressed in your own home but if that's not happening, then keep letting them know.
I really laughed at the reference to Violet Elizabeth and 'I'll thcweam and I'll thcweam, and I'll thcweam'. Did you used to read the 'Just William' books by Richmal Crompton, or maybe it's in TV over there. It's amazing that you can crack a joke with all you're going through Margaret, I admire you so much
Hang on in there. Xx
Hi Billie Jean I Did read the just William Books then it was elegised either 60 or 70s I Do like to reply to post when possible so I will steadily plod on .I asked at the hospital why I was being snt home without issues resolved was told you have oxygen at home so there you have it best wishes Margaret xx
Sounds like they just wanted the bed Wish I could do or say something to help
I'm sorry to hear your suffering so much. It's so unfair for you to be packed off home, before you we well enough.
I really hope you get some help asap. xx
Hi Margaret sorry to hear you are still feeling unwell, I am so angry at they way you have been sent home before you are well enough. Please ring 999 if you feel you need to its your health they are messing with. Both you and Frank need the support. You take care. Love Bernadette xxx
You have had some great replies Margaret. Such caring people on here and we are all rooting for you.
Please dial 999 if you feel any worse and take care. Scream all you like lol so long as you are heard.
Love to you and Frank. Xxxxx
I can't believe they let you come home. Are they arranging help at home for you? Take care and ring 999 if you feel bad x x x
I know exactly how you feel Margaret, hospital sent me home with a couple of days of meds and I have had all my medical support removed. It's disgusting the way we are treated xxx love Bernadette 😳
Margaret, I know I sound like a broken record, but again , if your SATS hit the 70's again, please , please immediately call 999 and have Frank request a different hospital. I do not believe the last hospital did anything much at all. Kind Wishes, judg69
I agree about your low days and phoning 999. I would certainly want to go to another hospital. Love Bernadette 😳 xxx
