Procedure cancelled

[gingermusic]

I wrote about a week ago to say I had to go into hospital to have my lung washed out under sedation. Well I got to the hospital on Wednesday and was put into a gown and then 2 surgeons came in to talk to me in case I had any concerns or questions I wanted answered, or so I thought. No it was to tell me they had decided it would be to dangerous to go ahead with the procedure due to my oxygen requirements so I was free to go home. All that fear and worry for nothing. At first I was just so relieved but now of course I am left with this awful cough and still have the problem of shifting all this phlegm with no answers.

Oh No, how awful for you Hun. You must feel so Dissapointed. I also have to have a "Wash n Rinse" by extracting my "Valves" and reinserting them as they are not working as well as before. I may end up like you, I would be so Angry, Have to Have a CT Scan First to Warrant the Procedure, Stay Strong Hun. Love n Hugs xxxxx

I have to say that because I use oxygen 24/7 I was concerned as to whether I would be able to be given sufficient while one lung was blocked or whether I would run into difficulties so from that point I was relieved to be turned away but I now have to wait and see if physio can help with this phlegm problem. Hopefully eventually they may give me some relief.

I was on Oxygen when I had my Procedure last Jun. I am still on Oxygen, this time 16 hours and not the 24/7. So I hope they can get passed that, they are the professionals. Want it to Work, as I am no longer on the Transplant List. These Valves are imperative to allow me a while longer to have some quality of life. Have a Good day & Weekend Hun. xxxx

Hello gingermusic .

I can imagine your relief after building yourself up for this and also now your misgivings. I kind of wish they had told you before you went in. Sending hugs and love.
