Val good you decided to stick it out in hospital as it looks like eventually you will be getting help at home you wouldn't otherwise have had. What impresses me is that you are able still to help and empathise with others on the forum who need help even when you are struggling yourself and I so wish I had this ability myself. I can sympathise alright with all the people who post but whenever I take ill I'm afraid its all me me me. Safe home xx
I will keep on going ya bugger need to get to the Metro Centre my hair is such a mess needs colouring and cutting ha ha something to look forward to and possibly lunch out even better x
Really pleased that you are going home & getting the support that you need. You will find that the nebulised antibiotic will reduce infections if you can tolerate it. I was on it for a year then decided to give it a rest with my respiratory nurses agreement, now only use it periodically to keep the bugs at bay Hope it works for you Val.
About time Val, glad your going to get the help and support you will need, i bet your counting the day's,it's 3 week's today isn't it ? Anyway take care Lynne xx
pffftttt to work, its you that matters, you just get home and get what help you can, get people round to see you if you can't get out, we'll all be waiting for you get back to whatever is going to be normal for you, whatever "normal " is. All the best, home, feet up, be pampered. xxx
About bloody time! You have skived off far too long, laying there being waited on hand and foot. Now, get back into the real world and struggle along with the rest of us.
Macmillan nurse has been great with my dad (and us). Also ot provided some great gadgets and equipment ti help with showering etc. We wonder how we managed before! Good to hear you'll be home soon x
