Hospital stay

[Chelsea14Ian]

Some of you may or not know,I went  into Hospital last Thursday.I had been unwell for some time,Marina 

took me to hospital and was admitted,they put me on a number of drips etc.I had a chest infection which was 

not very nice.What came as a bit of a shock,they said I have emphysema so I am on Oxygen I am still under there care and a Nurse visits home each day.I do feel bit better,but it was not nice.

Ian, you have my sincere sympathies. Both my Mum & sister-in-law have been similarly inflicted, not nice.

However, you could tackle it like my sister-in-law does. Her relief seems to be her oxygen mask in one hand and a spliff in the other, taking alternate drags, driving her invalid buggy around Tesco! Seems to work for her, been doing it for years, even though I have warned her of the risks of explosion, amongst  other health risks.

Hi Ian,

Very sorry to read you have been under the weather and in hospital. The good news is - if you can call any illness good - they have found what was wrong with you.

Now take things easy and no mad rushing about, you have had a good pick me up tonight, with your footy team winning for a change

Iain.

[JawsOrca]

You were diagnosed with emphysema? First I heard?? Certainly sounds like you will have to move to norfolk now then!

[Gracie]

So sorry to hear you have been unwell, Ian, hope you feel better very soon  Chelsea did very well, don't suppose you watched my team ARSENAL'S brilliant game tonight did you?

Grace

Some would say that game was a bit of a GREEK tragedy

Iain.

[Gracie]

The Greeks certainly would

Grace

p.s No disrespect intended to our Greek friends.......but you did lose 3-0 lol

All the best for improvement now you know how to manage it. 

JM?.. Spliff? On the NHS was it?

No, on us, the tax payer via the benefits dept, grrrrr!

[Polly]

Ahhh I begin to sense that your comments on the denizens of GY may be less generalised and a bit more specific than hitherto apparent! Lol

[Chelsea14Ian]

polly it may be that I am unwell,but I don't understand what you mean

[Chelsea14Ian]

Peter I gave up the fags ten years ago,so no fags legal or not for me.Besides thats what perhaps made me ill in the first place

Ian

[Chelsea14Ian]

Alan  they told me Monday that I have Emphysema.Its good to know why I had/have problems breathing.

Hello Ian sorry to hear youve been under the weather, just do as the nurses say and look after yourself, as we hope to put a face to your name at a meet. (even if you support Chelski)

Charlie & wench

[ZimbiIV]

Ian not the best news but it is time you and Marina got out of London.

Hope to see around Cove next year.

seasons best wishes to you both.

Sorry to hear about your emphysema Ian. You have my sympathy.

I saw my dad suffer badly with it. He gave up smoking in the 1950’s but the doctors said that was the likely cause.

take care and get as much Norfolk air as you can

[JennyMorgan]

Best advice so far, get out of London. My grandson has just had a few days 'up the Smoke', poor little blighter has come back home a with real rasping chest.

Sorry Ian I aimed that at JM who has referred to the denizens of GY frequently, I was just poking a bit of mild fun at him having one 'in the family'

On one occasion, while serving as prime minister during the Second World War, ( Churchill) was to take his first high-altitude airplane flight in an unpressurized cabin.

According to his biographer , when (he) went to the airfield on the evening before a flight to be fitted for a flight suit and an oxygen mask, he conferred with the flight expert who was to accompany him on the journey and requested that a special oxygen mask be devised so that he could smoke his cigars while airborne. The request was granted, and the next day Churchill was happily puffing away at 15,000 feet through a special hole in his oxygen mask.

[Chelsea14Ian]

Only Churchill could do that.When I smoked I like the fags,but theres no way I would go back.Sadly the damage seems to have been done at least I know whats wroung and I can deal with it
