Bad day today...

nsd_user663_63529 profile image

My wife's uncle who I am fond of, had a cold and flue like symptoms.. Hours later he is in intensive care in a coma..

Something called invasive A lung disease - some kind of dormant bacteria that was bought to life by his immune system being shot down.. The doctors are just saying he is a very very poorly man.. Antibiotics not worked as well as they had thought.. Head all over the place as I don't understand the illness and what any likely outcome is !!!!

Not smoked yet, by but my god I'm close ! (Won't do it though)

So sorry regarding your news. Please don't smoke, it won't help I promise. As an ex nurse I would ask the team looking after him for his prognosis and the expected outcome. Hospitals tend to be honest if not too blunt when imparting information. All the best and thinking of you x

Sorry to hear that Dan. Keep strong mate, all these horrible things you have got to ask would a fag make them any better? Simple answer No

Sorry it's called invasive group a streptococcal

Thank for the kind words guys, I won't smoke.

Really sorry for you, stay strong, having a cig wont make things any different, it will just make you feel rubbish. Xxx

I second karris comments, sorry for your bad news buddy, but well done for not letting your quit quick slip

I have nothing to add that hasn't already been said Dan, just wanted to say I am thinking of you and your family and I hope uncle gets well very soon x

Better news today,, lungs are clear and have made him more responsive.. Squeezing hand and trying to open eyes etc,,

Still not smoking

Great news dan 😉

Thank goodness x

You held onto your quit despite trying times! That speaks volumes to me. Keep going and don't look back. Glad it's better news x
