Critical care/ ICU

[Christ0706]

Hi, I’ve got severe asthma and brittle asthma, I was admitted to hospital on the 2nd of jan as I had a flare up and rushed to hospital by ambulance, All my vital signs was bad and they had to incubate me and put me into a coma that day and put on critical care, I ended up with pneumonia aswell and they had to try and drain my lungs, I can’t remember anything about it, I was woken up on the 18th, I was told my heart had started to pack in on the second day, I can not thank the staff enough as they saved my life and got to see my wife and children again, what I put them through was heartbreaking and feel guilty as it was touch and go for me as I did not feel a thing throughout that time. I was stepped down from critical care and was discharged on the 26th Jan. I had the Dras nurses come out everyday and my peak flow is terrible I’m blowing around 260 where it should be around 380/390, I feel so weak and strange and trying to get my head around what happened I can not thank the NHS so much for me seeing another day, I was COVID free but my heart goes out to all the people who have lost their lives and survived this terrible disease and what other family’s are going through please please take this seriously as I did not expect this to happen to me x

Completely agree with what you’re saying. The flu nearly killed me, I’m going to do everything I can not to put my family through that again
