Chelsea14Ian Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 We are back home,deciding sadly to cut short our time on the boat.I went back to Norwich hospital on Tuesday for further tests and a scan.They found nodules on my lung.Also now have severe emphysema.I have been referred to a Respiratory Specialist. To say I'm worried is a under statement. Hope this gets sorted quickly. Of course Marina ,Nicola and Alan are also concerned.I was due to have a scan here next Monday.My accident may have speeded up that process. 20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Just to make it clear.I had a scan on Tuesday at Norwich hospital which showed up serious problems.I had a scan booked next Monday. I need to find out if I need that scan next week.I will see a specialist hopefully soon.I will speak to our GP tomorrow. For some time now my breathing has become worse.At no time could I see a GP,that does not help.Each August in normal years my breathing is checked.Not this year due to Covad.Up to now I have had phone consultations,now they want people to Email reasons why you need to speak to a Doctor. Theres no words I can use regarding such rubbish! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Ian, for various reasons I can wholly sympathize with your predicament. The NNH has a reassuring reputation, you are in good hands. I wish you well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealWindmill Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Best wishes Ian, hope all goes well. Endorse JM's comment above as the NNH is very well thought of locally. A good pick you up would be a decent win for the Blues with all the new signings this opening weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 As much as I've taken the wee all the best, when things get more serious the NHS do tend to pull out the stops and get moving very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Thankyou everyone for your kind comments. I will speak to our Doctors today.Mainly about if there's still a need for another scan booked for Monday.I do feel a bit better today thankfully the swelling in my feet and left leg is reducing . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 After I spoke with our GPs,which was next to useless.I spoke with the local hospital where my scan was booked.Much more reassuring, they got the results of my visit to NNH on Monday and Tuesday.They will contact me soon deciding if I need Treatment or not.They said I don't need a scan on Monday. In my experience the care and treatment I have received in Hospitals the Ambulance crews and Indeed Hemsby lifeboat crew has been outstanding, and I'm very grateful the care they've shown me Sadly I can't say the same about my local GP surgery. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 To get such indifferent service from your GP practice is disappointing to say the least. Because we are of a certain age and both on blood pressure medication our surgery sends for Tony and me for an annual check-up and I had assumed in the light of the present conditions that would go by the board So I was very surprised and not a little impressed to receive a call from the practice last week making an appointment for both of us to go and also appointments for us to have a flu jab later this month. Pretty good I think. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 That's good,I've been told I will have a flu jab ,not sure when.My issues with our GP,s is the fact my pneumonia was only dealt with by phone.Each August (pre) covad my breathing is checked not this year.I can't help feeling that if they saw me in person,any treatment would have been dealt with sooner.I simply don't understand why I can be treated in hospital,yet can't see my GP,s or nurses at my local surgery. Which is only a five minute walk from our house. Now before I can phone the Doctors I must request a phone call on line.In my opinion this will just add to more visits to A&E. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 In relation to our local surgery and hospitals my experiences are no different to Ian's. Excellent on one hand, worryingly poor on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
