Glad to hear you are getting the treatment you need. It is a very scary being so breathless - my husband scares me regularly!! Actually though when he gets so ill he doesn't seem to know how ill he is - if that makes sense. Wishing you speediest recovery. TAD xx

It sounds as if you had a real good service, Toby with good care. Your part will be "do as you are told" and enjoy getting better. I dont know anything about rapid response nurses - interesting. xx

In Scotland we have a rapid response unit.

I like you I always feel a fool when my poor wife has to phone them but the nurse who attends says the same thing to me DONT be a hero and tell me your ok when your lips are blue and your breathing is non existing.

Take their advice, Take it easy and god bless your wife.

Tom.

Tobydoo, so glad you called in the paramedics, and so glad you now have a rapid response nurse coming to treat you at home. Just listen to what the good paramedic people tell you and no making out all is ok when its not.

Keeping fingers crossed you will soon be on the mend.

Best wishes BC

Oh! Tobydoo. That was rotten for you. You haven't got an infection coming have you. I've seen my Husband like that. It's pretty scary at the time. Mike has been given some Lorazepam for when he gets like it. It makes you pretty sleepy for a few hours after but it certainly works quick. X

glad you have a great home service. You know when you are OK to be at home with the proper help, so that's good.
