Asthma and Broncitis coming and going evedry couple of weeks...been getting worse over the last month...been to dr 4 times in 3 weeks and no improvement and then wham Sunday afternoon I couldn't get my breath had a nebuliser but still no sucess sucked on inhaler all afternoon and just got worse had another neb at 5 then Alan run an ambulance 3 more neblits in ambulance and at hospital with lights flashing. Of course I was put in quarantine till they decided I was flu free chest xray revealed I had a collapsed lung FUCK so a wee op to insert a tube into the left lung and train it...because the repritory ward had a flu scare I was addmitted to cardiac ward at 1.30am not alot of sleep had but was bloody nice to be able to breath. Had been so SCARY I tell you and alone...unfortunately Alan also is crook so wasnt aloud in the hospital because f infection so here I am fitting for breath and just wanting him to make it all better and he couldnt help me...very lonely
