Been discharged from hospital today Saturday 12th October 4-00pm, so Consultant Friday he said there was nothing he could do but for me to carry on with my inhalers, Prednisolone and to keep going to pulmonary rehab and that I did not need to take oxygen to manage my emphysema.

Didn't say so but getting help from social services with washing and dressing.

Nothing like your own home, rick, but seeing what newlands said, are you on your own. Some people dont mind and others dont find it easy.

Looking forward to my own bed tonight, don't mind living on my own!

in reply to rick1

It is good if you dont mind being on your own, rick. I think I would find it hard at first but would get used to it.

Hi rick, sorry to hear you've been in hospital but glad you are home. I think not needing ixygen js a good thing. It means there s something to fall back on if needed in the future. Take care. :-) :-) Alison

Welcome home, better than being institutionalised with the hospital regime although it is good to have the company and to know that there is someone there if you need them. Make full use of any help you are offered and don't be stubborn by trying to be independent. Keep well and good luck. Lizzy.

Didn't realise you were in 5* Rick. Really glad you are home hun. Lots of r and r. Build up your strength and I hope you feel better soon. There's good and bad in every profession and some docs just lack any sensitivity. Don't allow it to bug you - not needing 02 right now is a good thing.

With love cx

Good to hear that your home & do not need oxygen. Do try to keep up with the PR as it will really improve your abilities in daily living. Start slowly and build up gradually

Best wishes
