Hello all my fellow lung sufferers๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒฌ๐Ÿ˜‰

A story, my life, my luck....

After spending a week of chasing up Christie's for Lung CT, Wythenshawe for Breast pre-OP and appointment for Lumpectomy, I had .....

A flood,

My boiler broke,

I had to pack up my kitchen so that a new boiler could be installed on another wall,

Was extremely unwell at the time,

And then....I FELL down the steps and now in the hospital ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿคฏ

....and everything has been cancelled๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

And to add salt to my wounds I am in the Oncology and Haematology ward right next to a sealed entrance with the Covid-19 ward!

How about that? ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿค

Thank you Damon.๐Ÿ’๐ŸŒน

OMG GA you need chaining to your bed, with a michelin man suit for added safety.

Put your order in for Safety chocolate and hot drinks in unspillable cups.

Hope everything is sorted soon and you are feeling much better and safer to venture out.

Take good care, be safe.

Oh bev make sure the door stays locked, glued nailed ,sealed. Talk about it never rains etc, I hope they take good care of you at least you'll be warm as their boilers working. I find the oncology and chemo units very comfortable, rather not be there but if you have to be 5 stars is good. Keep your chin up love jane.

Oh Gingerapple, what a catalogue of events. I do hope the door to the Covid-19 ward stays sealed! What an awful time you are having, I really do hope that things improve for you soon. Can you get comfort foods like chocolate or whatever happens to be your thing? Sending you lots of virtual hugs and best wishes that you are out of hospital sooner rather than later. ๐ŸŒน๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒท

You have had a horrendous time lately. I can understand your worry about the COVID ward being next door to your ward, I had to go to A&E and passed a COVID ward on my way to treatment area. Lets hope you recover soon and get the appontments you need and your new boiler installed. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜
