Chelsea14Ian Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Had my scan,sadly lost my room.Now in a bay with three others.Acted as guinea-pig to students. They asked questions, then examined me.Was asked this morning if it was okay to do so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Sound advice Polly. Behave Ian! Seriously though, hope you have a better night tonight. Hope Marina is doing okay too. She must be in a right tizzy about you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 I need to make it clear,never came off oxygen. Was wired up to the machine. I had not slept for 24 hours.They wanted my stats between 92 to 94.if they dropped between that a bleeping would ring.Not easy to keep that up.Thats I I turned off the machine. I did sleep a bit,and this machine is not as loud. They want 92 plus.Think I've made a slight improvement. Hope to sleep a bit tonight, without any dramas.Yes Marina and the family are concerned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawsOrca Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Pops just don't touch the machines! Mum said they changed the machine to one that doesn't beep as much but we will have to get the straight jackets if he does touch this one... Hopefully you will at least get some sleep today. Mum seems in a good enough spirits too, she said she's going to do some things around the house on sunday as he's not there! (Personally I think they are losing it).. No doubt you will he home soon, get the house all done and dusted and get you up here... Thanks everyone too, him and ma have certainly had a rough ride. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hi Ian. I get it about not being able to sleep in hospital. Thankfully it’s been a long time since I’ve been in hospital, but I remember vividly how difficult it was to sleep, especially when they go around the ward checking everyone’s blood pressure and so on. Why don’t they place more consideration that a good night’s sleep is so important to recovery?Monitoring people is obviously their priority, but you would think they’d have worked out a better way of doing that by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make a good pair,she can't hear and I can't breath. The was a film ,where was blind, one deaf,one with no legs.And between them they drove a car.Very funny,can't remember the films name.So bit like Marina and myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Had a bit more sleep, they increased my oxygen. Despite speaking to three people about my normal meds.Showed my repeat script. This ward can't find any info.All they have to do is log into my hospital records. Anyway the pneumonia is still there but think the antibiotics are winning. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 At last just now a nurse just my meds ,and some are stopped,because my stats don't require them for now.Would have been nice if someone had told my before. Many thanks to the nurse who checked for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Found the film,saw a clip very funny. Thanks for the heads up.A mixed night.Rough at first, then rested better.My oxygen intake is high,via a mask. Pneumonia is better,still there but improving.Have lost that hot and cold,mainly cold feeling.Its nice and sunny this morning. As there's four of us,in our bay perhaps we have a two aside later! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 Despite the Football today very good.My BP and temp very good.Saw Doctors this morning, all good my scan showed a little on the l nodes,she thinks that because of the pneumonia. Today this morning on 10lt oxygen, then reduced to 8lt.Just now 4lt.The Doctors said once oxygen level improves I can go home.Going in the right direction. Marina and Alan have just gone home.Very happy with results and tomorrow Nicola our daughter is visiting. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
