Royal Brompton

[sassy59]

Pete finally has his Royal Brompton appointment to see a cardio sarc specialist on 3rd March. I just hope they don't cancel it! Now to try and work out the best way of getting him up there and the little problem of getting him well enough to go. Hopefully, after all this faffing around he may finally get his back sorted. Watch this space!

Stay well all. xxxx

That's always a problem when the hosp is some way away. My consultant when first sorting me out wanted me to go there. I live in Kent and said no. So all tests were done and emailed across to them to make a diagnose. They came back with bronchiolitis.

My hosp understood my reasons for not going and did everything at my hosp to make life easier for me. True Brompton might be better in some ways. At my last check up he asked to see me in six weeks instead of six months with all tests redone.

Here l am into my third week and l have the tests being done today and tomorrow including ct scan. Could not ask for better treatment.

Fingers crossed ur able to keep that appointment. Thinking of u.

Thanks Pam for your kind wishes. Pete has been seen by the lung side of the Brompton for some years now but has not been for 2 because of his back. He now has to see a specialist on the heart side because of the sarcoidosis being found in his heart so not much option really. He does get great treatment at our local hospital too which is a good thing.

Good luck to you and wishing you well with your tests and scan. Take care xxxx

Hi Sassy,do you have a blue badge?They have special book able blue badge parking spaces,you book 2 weeks before you go.I go by mini cab the drive is just too much even though it can take me half an hour to get into the damn cab.Last time was awful on way out the cab parked in a very busy part of the street which made me panic even more ,took ages to calm my breathing down and I could,nt even tell him to move somewhere better.Best of luck! D.

[sassy59 in reply to FarmerD]

Thanks for that Farmer D and yes Pete does have a blue badge so I will look into it. London is so busy and not great for driving but our daughter would happily take us. Did not know you could book so bless you for that info. xxxx

Great news Sassy. That's a good tip from FarmerD about the parking. Wish I'd known that when we were visiting my nephew when he had his transplant a couple of years ago.

Fingers tightly crossed for Pete. Take care honey.

Have you thought about train/taxi with passenger assistance? We do this from Cornwall to RBH & book their accommodation overnight.It works very well for us.

[sassy59 in reply to adb11]

Another great option that I can look into. Thanks adb11.
