It’s just a cold she said on Monday

[SueAppleRun]

Then short of breath and getting worse, lemsip with ibuprofen in between and beginning to worry a bit on Tuesday.... lots of people have colds, Tuesday night wasn’t much fun, a few bits of arguing that doctors don’t want to see me for a cold or flu

Wednesday morning feeling pretty awful and increasingly short of breath so gave in and let Willow take me to the doctor, she called an ambulance crikey i can go in the car i said she said no, and here i am on Thursday, in a side ward and no one comes in without a mask and gloves, on oxygen i’ve had x rays and nebulisers and i v antibiotics

So all you runners out there if you start to get breathless when not running see your doctor, if i’d gone on monday i might not have had to be here and believe me i don’t want to be

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Thank goodness you are safe and being taken care of. Thank you for the warning and well done.

Huge well done to Willow...for getting you to the professionals... I have the same trouble with my husband! Nearly lost him in an a similar way a few years ago!

Just relax... slow and steady and do exactly as you are told... feel better soon xx

PS

The runs will wait x

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks Floss and yes they will and on the plus side i now know my lungs are fine even though i can’t breathe very well

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

That is so good..J..my husband had double pneumonia! Our GP had told him the day before, he was fine!

Just take it steady xxx

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

[RunningMigster Graduate]

So sorry to hear this. You sound as stubborn as me. 'I'll be fine in a couple of days, I just need some nightnurse'...

Hopefully for a swift recovery for you.

Sorry about your illness Solo, but thank Willow that she took you to the doctor by calling an ambulance, I just hope you recover soon and can get back to running as soon as you feel well again, no hurry for that, as Floss says 'the runs can wait'.

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Al

[Debston Graduate]

Sorry to hear that you're so poorly. Wishing you a very speedy recovery. Hope you're getting plenty of rest and managing to sleep OK. 💐

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Debston]

Thanks Debston you don’t get much sleep here but i’m resting as tied to various machines which makes for fun and games taking a trip anywhere

[Debston Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I can imagine! Just done a run for you. Was umming and aahing about going out for one and not really feeling like it but reading your post gave me the prod I needed to get out the door and into the woods. Now covered in mud! 😂

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Debston]

Thank you hugely, i can breath without oxygen now so might get home today running may take a bit longer

[Debston Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

That's great news that you're off the oxygen. Fingers crossed for you being discharged asap - just don't overdo things when you get home, rest and recuperate!

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Debston]

Yes i need the rest

[Mum22boys Graduate]

Hope you start to feel better soon. Rest as much as you can

[Nilsam Graduate]

[Maddee_6333 Graduate]

Oh no!

Excellent job Willow for making you go to the doctor!

Here’s to a swift recovery.

Make sure you are fully mended before you try to run again, won’t you?

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

Walking out to the car when i was discharged let me know i’ve got a long way to go before any running

[Maddee_6333 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Glad you’re out!

[Katnap Graduate]
