Well yes that would be nice.
However I woke up in the early hours yesterday,feeling extremely unwell, managed to turn off the converter and respiratory machine that helps seperate the oxygen from carbon dioxide(my lungs were unable to cope by themselves having gotten an infection, hence being in hospital 4 weeks before and during Christmas, and take the mask off, however the strain of that gagging caused chest pains, and after taking GTN I rang 111, they quickly, arranged for an ambulance
I knew one of the paramedics as she used to be a nurse in Harwich.
Got to Hospital which early doors on a Monday was like a ghost town , the only vehicle an the A and E Bays with staff unusually standing about, so I was in receipt of immediate help,and by breakfast had had an Xray and a Canular for bloods, was told I would be in there for at least a few days.
Lots of waiting around that day.
Then a change of wards but later was told wished to see me, after which as long as the bloods taken from my wrist were OK I could go home which eventually happened. They had liased with the carers, so transport was arranged for 21.00, in conjunction with said.
Sure enough a guy turned up with a wheelchair but didnt know oxygen was involved and said the rules are they have to be double handed with a driver and attendant in the back, overseeing the patiient and he made profuse apologise that one would have to be waiting longer.
A chap in the next cubical had heard me mention Papworth and turne out he was a fellow zipper club, we who have had open heart surgery, member, and not only had his bypass done the same year as me, 2012, but by the same surgeon.
The transport arrived and when I got home some family who were going to be there earlier had turned out. Having been advised to get to bed post haste I still woke up and felt the need to take the mask off,it didnt go wit the Panda eyes. A Nephew who is using my Focus currently has arrangedan apointment to see a specialist Tuesday and hopefully get the Oxygen, mask-machine checked over.
Apart from that a day or two back,I had managed to charge the Nexus battery and run her for a while and being the eternal optimist would like to think just-maybe not have to give up riding completely after a layoff.,
