Naughty Lungs for Sale, Free to a Good Home!

Well I decided on Tuesday I had had enough of feeling rubbish, my chest pains are getting worse, I'm tired all the time like I'm in a daze and I'm getting breathless extremely easily, just walking to the toilet or cooking tea etc and I am having to catch my breath. Its not good!

On Monday I went shopping for my hen night outfit and some wedding stuff, my chest was hurting so much I was walking around in a weird position with hand pressing on my chest to try ease the pain. Monday night I went to see my friend and she doesn't feel very well either as she is working long hours and we both just sat watching the TV with not much to say because we both felt so tired!

I rang the hospital on Tuesday morning and made the mistake of mentioning I had developed a sore throat Monday evening. Next minute she is asking me if I have a temperature or have I been sweating alot. No I haven't but she still said I had to give it 24 hours before I came to the hospital to make sure it didn't develop into anything flu like. This bloody swine flu is annoying me, I need IVs not tamiflu!

Also on Tuesday my mummy and I went to this place called Country Baskets, they are a wholesalers for florists etc and sell loads and loads of vases. Its like vase heaven. They still didn't have what I wanted for the table centre pieces at the wedding but I chose some roman gold type vases and took one to the florists so she can practice how she is going to do the flowers and have an example ready for me on Saturday. I had a proper sleep in my bed when I got home then had to rush around to cook some tea as Pete and I were going to the cinema with his friend to see Bruno. It was really funny but I was trying not to laugh as I didn't want to cough as it's embarrassing and makes my chest hurt at the moment. Don't go see this film if you are easily offended hahaha!
When I got back I had a cry cos I'm annoyed I don't feel well and I don't want to go on IV's so close to my hen night as I will more than likely have a sore arm from the stupid port dressing. I think I am entitled to cry once in awhile and it's my thing when I'm tired, I become an emotional wreck!

So today I went to the hospital (since surprisingly I don't have swine flu) and can you believe my lung function is 47%!!! So it's actually 1% higher than when I had my last outpatients appointment. My sats were 95%, my blood pressure was quite high apparently. The doctor listened to my chest and says there is more crackling where I am complaining of the pain, so at least something is backing up my feeling rubbishness! So anyway I am starting IVs on Friday, this means I will finish them the day before my hen night. I am soooo not impressed! But I want to feel better, I really do feel rubbish, so I have no choice really. However... how am I going to look good in my nurses outfit with a big red sore square on my arm? They are trying these new dressings on my port, I hope they work! They BETTER have ordered them in for me or else all hell will break loose on Friday! If you hear of some girl going crazy as St James Hospital on Friday you will know it is me because the staff have shrugged their shoulders at me and said 'opps we forgot to order them in'. I am a desperate bride and I'm not afraid to use violence!

Alfie and I went for a walk this afternoon, thought I should try make myself do something. I had to sit down quite alot to get my breathe back but that isn't going to stop me walking my pooch. Alfie was very good off his lead and when we came across some dogs (that I didn't see coming) he didn't run into the trees away from them which is what I always dread (I am in no fit state to run uphill through trees to find a chihuahua), he ran to me and let me pick him up, bless him! So I am very proud!
