NHS

When I last wrote this blog I had gotten as far as the Ambulance, on arriving at the Hospital I was admitted to A+E, put on a bed and connected to the machine  and given Oxygen, it was very busy bloods taken and ECG, finally saw a doctor at about 7pm, he had to take blood from my artery in my arm very painful, he was back in seconds to put me on an Oxygen mask to get control of my oxygen levels in my blood as they had fallen to 84/85 out of a 100 normal might be I am told 96/98, then the blood results showed that my levels that should have been 15 were in fact 2000  a heart attack it seems, so my wanting to get off home fell by the way side and I was admitted to the short stay ward, to bed number 44, it was by that time 9.30pm, first thing that happened was that a doctor took my oxygen mask and threw it in the bin and put me on those rotten nose ones that irritate you no end but there you go, so to sleep I went well for a little while as I was on a furosemide drip you nurses will know that this is a water medication you never take it after early afternoon if you want a nights sleep consequently I was up all through the night, but I was woken up by someone tapping me it was very difficult to see as I did not have my glasses on and I was very disoriented all I could see was a set of teeth telling me I was going to be taken to the Cardiac ward, at 2.20am a team arrived unplugged me and moved me from bed 44 to bed 1 still on the short stay ward, where I was woken again at 6.30am as the night staff wanted to get all their work completed before the day staff arrived it is now Thursday Morning 7am, More to follow, it gets better or might be worse!!!, you will have to read on.
