The a Nurse Been this morning I go to Breathe easy on a Monday I asked the hospital if it was ok to go they said yes. .I had a bad night and this morning took over 3 hours to get ready from 7am my heart rate was 135 and sats 74. The nurse came just after they started to come up she stayed until they up to 88. Then after she had gone they fell again had real struggle to go to Breathe easy. They took my sats there and I'd dropped to 62 so came home and waiting for the nurse Best wishes

No no no Margaret, I am horrified to hear this!!! You and Frank cannot be left to deal with this alone. Rapid response or no rapid response, I can't help but feel you are being let down, badly. I am furious for you. You make sure you call 999 if you have to. There are echoes here of what I endured with my precious Mother, and I am so so upset to hear they've discharged you like this!!

I will be thinking of you xxxx

Hi Margaret, please don't feel you have to reply to every message and PM as it would be exhausting for you. You give us updates here and that's more then enough.

I felt angry at them sending you home but if the Rapid Response people come twice a day, then at least it means you and Frank have someone to consult and discuss symptoms, sats etc. Maybe they feel you'd be less stressed in your own home but if that's not happening, then keep letting them know.

I really laughed at the reference to Violet Elizabeth and 'I'll thcweam and I'll thcweam, and I'll thcweam'. Did you used to read the 'Just William' books by Richmal Crompton, or maybe it's in TV over there. It's amazing that you can crack a joke with all you're going through Margaret, I admire you so much

Hang on in there. Xx

Margaret, I know I sound like a broken record, but again , if your SATS hit the 70's again, please , please immediately call 999 and have Frank request a different hospital. I do not believe the last hospital did anything much at all. Kind Wishes, judg69

It is difficult to get another hospital James cook is the major hospital in the area. I told nurse when she came about them dropping again although Doctors at hospital were not bothered either Best wishes
