What a Night & Day
What a terrible night,last night was.I was hot & couldnt sleep,couldnt breathe,I think I dozed a bit on & off,but by 5am I knew I was going to need help.I didnt want to disturb my son too early so I managed ,with help from my inhalers,to wait till 7am,then rang 999,a very nice operator took details,she said she could hear the problem I was having & I was to stay on the line untill someone came, they were very close to me & would be there soon.Within minutes a lovely paramedic lady was with me,& was taking my vital details when 2 ambulance crew arrived,after checking me out & giving me a dose on the nebulizer it was decided to take me to Hospital,They werent very busy there & soon after arrival I was seen by a Dr ,who took more blood from my wrist [ painful ]& sent it for testing,promising to see me again to decide if I could go home or not.By 3pm results hadnt come back & I was tired /fed up ,in tears,then good news,results back I could go home,within half hour an ambulance transport was ready to bring me home,Dr & extra nebulizer dose never materialised & no discharge letter given to meThe hospital staff were good, about 9am I was offered breakfast & had cornflakes & tea,about 1pm an egg mayo s/wich& coffee,I was móved twice ,then to a waiting room to await coming home.I hope to have a better night tonight ,but it is still hot & humid
