Hospital

[Stevieboy03]

Well here we go again...5days ago i ended up in hospital as my breathing had become so bad..it had got considerly worse since xmas..but last wk it was so bad gettin up to make a cuppa was exhausting..had to end up calling a ambulance becoz of breathing & chest pains..so it seems i now have blood clots on my lungs & a infection that has caused my breathing to be so bad at least they can treated with antibiotic & blood thinning injections..but the good thing that has come out of my 8th hospital stay in just over 2yrs is that my consultant has now arranged for occupational therapists/nurses , rocket team & chronis illness nurses to help we with my home needs..im guess my IPF has prob got worse but as i said to docs was i wanted them to treat the sypmtoms & illnesses that come with it so i can still have some standard of life & not just sitting at home rotting waiting til the end like i was feelin over the last few mths...maybe i will get a braak for abit & e,thing will settle for a couple of mths but im not holding my breath prob coz i cant tbh..lol.
