I've been awol from AW for a few days, I'll explain. Last Tuesday I had an MOT at the Royal Blackburn, and another appointment with the COPD team, everything was fine, keep taking the tablets. I arrived home at 11-30am from whence I saw nobody that day or the next, Thursday morning I woke up and wasn't feeling tikitiboo, thought I'd eaten something that didn't agree, the symptoms abated during the day, yet Friday I felt even worse. Over the years I have learnt to tell the difference between a chest infection and exacerbated asthma, I follow three rules, Temp, sputum colour and blood sats levels, all three weren't good, took necessary steps to combat, Ant Bios and boost in steroids. Needless to say, over the weekend I was as rough as a badgers tadger, in bed all day. My Cm came to see me yesterday, upped the strength of the anti bios and Steroids, It appears that during my 2 hour say at the Royal Blackburn I had caught an HAI, and am waiting to see just what little gem I brought home as a gift, I'm just hoping its not something very, very nasty, the samples are at the Path lab and will get to know Thursday or Friday, John is not a Happy Bunny
