Costa Del NHS

Well once again, the Costa del NHS is my home. It's beginning to take the piss a bit don't you think? I wasn't feeling too shit when I came in, but quite quickly went downhill which scared a few people. Middle of the night on a Sunday night and I'm sat being reviewed by Intensive Care. Not fun. Let's just say that's the last time I ever let anyone near me with an ABG again.

I'm starting to get really fed up with all of these admissions. This is my 5th since November and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. If anything it's getting worse. And what's even more annoying is my consultant doesn't seem to be doing an awful lot to try and keep me out. All they want is "more breathing tests" but it's gotten to the stage now where the Respiratory Techs won't do the tests because I'm so unstable. That tell you anything?

I'm absolutely knackered both physically and mentally and don't know how much more of this shite I can take.

Nothing much to post!

For once things are reasonably quiet in my life! Asthma's semi behaving, leg's fucked, but nothing new there, things with Chris are going well and I'm getting on reasonably well at college!

Got clinic in a few weeks, with Lung Function twice before then. Joyous. We looove the lung function! Bought some socks today! I bought a pack of them a couple of weeks ago and loved them so much I had to have more lol. They're really warm so they're fantastic for going on duties and whatnot. Speaking of which I'm going on duty on Sunday :D Yaaay! It's a kiddies rugby festival so it'll be lots of TLC and "There there's". But it comes with the teritory!

I know that was a rubbish blog post, but just this once I'm a happy enough camper! I'll stick a photo or two in just to liven it up a bit lol.



Me and the Sugababes!



My Doggy!

Until next time dudes!

Rachy needs your thoughts

My good friend Rachael Wakefield got her lung transplant on Wednesday. She got off the ventilator today but had to go back on it again. She needs your thoughts more than ever at the minute

Keep strong Rach, we're all behind you xx

Keeping up Appearances

I'm a bad blogger. *Slaps Wrists* Since my last blog not a lot has happened. I've managed to get properly back to college. I've had a clinic appointment and even tidied my room along the way, although it didn't stay like that. Oh and me and Chris went to Torquay for the weekend!

I'm well pleased at being able to get back to college. I've managed two full days at college so far this week and I would love to manage a full week, it would be the first completely full week I've managed since September. I do enjoy college though, so I'm happy enough.

Clinic was interesting... Let's just say I'm not entirely sure what the hospitals long term plan is. They seem to think I'll get Xolair but my levels aren't right apparently and because they can't get a decent skin prick result off me because of my anti-depressants, we'll see what happens. It's not something that's going to happen overnight anyway because a lot of things need checked. i.e my compliance with meds.

Torquay was good fun. I really needed a weekend away and I got to spend some proper time with Chris and we got to sort a lot of things out. I came back a lot more chilled and so did he. We both really needed it. The hotel was really nice and wasn't very expensive so I'm pleased! It had a heated indoor pool, gym and the room was really nice. It was all good fun and I'm happy enough.

And even better is my lungs are semi behaving! I got a peak flow of 400 this morning! It's all good!
