Back in Hospital with this nasty infection.

was ok for a while as most know but things kicked off and the bugger crept around towards the kidneys and diaphragm causing off the scale pain.

Rushed to Chichester hospital and stayed 5 days on antibiotics and pain relief.

Morphine gave me nausea off the scale which exacerbated the pain so that was kicked into the long grass.

Now in the Papworth who are removing the offending stuff today and trialling various treatments.

I wouldn’t mind mind but the infection ain’t paying me any rent!

Oh! Mr. B. You don't deserve this. Please keep fighting. We want to hear you are up and running. Papworth is very good- it's some consolation to know you are in the best place. Thinking of you and Mrs. B. Lots of love, Chris xxx

Oh my goodness me Mr B, all this wasn’t part of the deal. I’m having trouble keeping up with you travelling around the country in your hosital bed. I’m sure Papworth will sort you out, you being one of there star customers. How are the new lungs working whilst those interlopers are buggering you around? A lot of people are rooting for you here.

Oh no Mr B.. fight and fight some more... My husband was in papworth 13yrs ago and he still lives 🥰. I've been there for tests and like all the hospitals the staff are amazing. I'm sure like them chaps that are walking around England for charity you could start one for hospital hopping 🤔. Get better wishes winging their way towards you xx

All that pain and a freeloader to boot. It’s enough to make one quite unwell😉🌟

Oh no, I was wondering if they'd got on top of that infection. I'm really sorry you had even more pain but very glad that you're in Papworth 5* for the best treatment. Thinking of you and MrsB too

I’ve been wondering how you’ve been getting on after your infection news. But obviously things haven’t been good, and I’m so sorry to read that.

You strike me as a feisty person who won’t give in too easily, but equally you’ve had a very serious op which will take a lot of recovering from.

My best wishes to you in recovering from this particular infection, and your general recuperation. 👍👏🤩

I for one am happy you are in hospital because that infection could have easily ended your life. Post transplant infections are very serious but this is all part and parcel of the transplant world. It might take some time to get rid of it, but you are in the best place at the moment. Sending very best wishes for a smooth recovery. 💐

Mr B - you sure is a fighter. I second everything Cas and others have said. I'm waving your flag and will continue to do so. PS Everyone is saying what an amazing place Liverpool is, entertaining so many people across the world on the Eurovision run up.

Oooooh how nasty for you, though it sounds as though it is something you could do without after all you have been through!

Hopefully Papworth will be able to improve things for you and you will soon be home again.

Go well.

Pauline.

Gosh what a roller coaster you are on - more dips at the mo. I wish you well. Hope the transplant is doing well. I’m amazed at your positivity and humour in such a situation. Take care dear friend and fingers crossed for you xx🤗

So sorry to hear all you're going through. Hope the hospital manages to sort you out very soon.

My late husband Bob found after repeated hospital stays that morphine did little for him except cause problems in the strength he needed for it to be effective. Paracetamol worked far better.

Wishing you all the best and hoping you recover soon xx

Sorry to hear this MrB. Have they identified the infection type? This is one of the problems when you have to take immuno suppressants. You are so vulnerable to infections. Hope they get on top of the problem for you. Rooting for you.

Having read about this it appears the treatment is voriconazole as it is a fungal type of infection. Hope you are feeling a bit better MrB.

I know the feeling I had a procedure at sheffield hospital for my pulmonary hypertension which lead to me having sildenafil initially .But they didnt suit me so I told the specialist who prescribed it as one of the side effects was nasal congestion which i have a great deal of issues with because i have a deviated sceptum I was then prescribed a similar one i think called tildenafil (something like that) & that had the same side effects & that didnt suit me either (I was advised that these medications might not suit everyone) -& that didnt suit me either so Ive been told to stop taking it & the specialist in sheffield said hed have to have another think & get back to me-I have to chase him up

Ive got a Microsoft Teams meeting on 18/5 with the ILD forum so looking forward to that

Thinking of you

Take care xxxx
