Hi everyone

Sorry I've not been around for ages -Been in & out of hospital because of my oxygen levels dangerously dropping AGAIN

When I came out of hospital my mum had told me that 2 oxygen machines had been installed for me -so now I use them

I've been assessed via the gas test (in the ear ) at my local clinic -& the results showed that it is recommended for me

I also have ambulatory oxygen so that I can use it when out & about

The clinic have made it clear (for obvious reasons) that if its found to be abused then it would be removed from the property

Ive got a hospital appointment in south manchester on friday 14th october (tomorrow) to discuss another medication & in the original letter there was a sentence in bold saying i might need to have a blood test so Im going numbed up

My specialist managed to get me an appointment with the specialisee respiratory clinic -a place where you have to wait 6 months upwards normally
