Day in Hospital
I had a terrible night,just couldnt get my breath,Inhalers didnt work. Tried to lay down,got up & came downstairs,back to bed ,open window & lean out,Eventually I had enough ,Id been told if my inhalers didnt work to ring for an ambulance,so Idid. What a performance,ambulance crew asked if I could walk to ambulance [ outside the house they said]blooming thing was across the road, then I had to pull myself up ambulance steps,Arrived at Hospital 3 am & ,expected to climb down steps again & walk into A&E,then I had to sit on a hard chair,take my turn with others,wheezing, s.o,b before being called to a cubicle, but as I went to stand up I felt dizzy,panic stations, chair was found for me,I was wheeled into a cubicle & helped onto a trolley.However after a nurse inserted a canula & took BP.I was wheeled back out to corridor again to wait for a Dr. I dont know if this is a new thing at my Hospital,on previous trips there the ambulance crew always carried me out in a chair & I have been wheeled straight into a cubicle ,I spent the day on a trolley & returned home at 2.45 .They said it was Asthma but I dont know any Asthma that lasts all the day.I have a breathing programme to follow now & [ironically]] told if Im bad again ring for an ambulance
