Hi again
Unfortunately I arrived home yesterday evening to find that John (my hubby) was not too good, he said he had felt very tired all day.
This morning he felt a little better so thought it may have been he had done too much (he had cut our grass and it is a large area) but as the day progressed he went downhill and by 4pm he was shivery and shakey and was burning up.
I rang and spoke to the on call doctor who wanted to see him immediately, once at the surgery it emerged that his left lung was very congested and the doctor thought that he had a touch of pneumonia so packed him off to AAU (Acute Assessment Unit) at Hull Royal Infirmary.
It is now 11.40pm and I have just arrived back home after waiting nearly 4 hours to be seen by the doctor there. They are going to put him on drugs to slow his heart rate which they say is too fast and some more stuff to help clear his lungs. So he is in there for a couple of days at least (hopefully not too long as he hates hospitals).
I must admit though, the staff were brilliant, they brought round sandwiches and drinks for everyone, even me, and when I left they asked me to phone when I got home so that they could tell John that I was home safely and last but not least they would not let me walk to the Car Park on my own but sent a Security Guard to escort me safely to my car. I had never heard of that before.
Hopefully my next update will be bearing better news as we now have an appointment with the oncologist for next Monday morning.
Hugs to All
from Hazel
