Support please?

[bamber]

I hope you can get help too. You are trying so hard don't let things get you down.

Hi Liz. Don't be downcast. We all have up days and down days and obviously yesterday was a downer. I hope you're feeling better today. I'd be very much worse off if I couldn't come here and vent from time to time.
Best wishes,
Gillie.

Hi Liz

Hope you are feeling better today and Dr's are sorting you out. You may have to be hard as nails at times, but you have a soft centre, everybody needs support at some time.

Best wishes

Gosh Liz, Monday seems a long time away to wait for relief!
At least you know that the outcome will be positive.

Good luck!

Hi all, thanks for your good wishes. Please don't worry about the delay in admitting me. I have such a good team looking after me locally, somthing I have never had before. I have had a grumbling chest and sinus infection since November. Three good "strong & long" courses of oral antibiotics and one course of IV amoxyll haven't cleared it. I chose not to treat it this time when it started to really emerge, as I really hoped that the path lab would culture somthing so that I could be treated with an antibiotic appropriate to the bug. The last two times, though I was obviously infected, the sputum sample didn't grow anything. Now I did push it a bit far and now I'm teetering on the brink of being proper poorly. The reason we're waiting until Monday for me to go in, is that my consultant will not, through choice, have me on an open ward. By Monday she should have been able to evict the current tenant of that room. However, I can always go in immediatly if I feel I'm getting into serious trouble before Monday. I'm on cipro now, so cross fingers I'll be ok and not have to go in as an emergency.

Hi John,
no, going into Cheltenham Hospital, looks out over Cheltenham Ladies college. Not as deluxe as the RL but excellent care.
Thank you for your thoughts.
