Discharged and going home. Thanks for your prayers, love and concern... Nearly home. On antibiotics for a week and have to go back in 6 weeks for a repeat crafty

Very sore wrist from the cannula

@Berrybunchfamily What did they do with you, except from giving you antibiotics? What does A and E mean (I don't understand every English word and abbreviation).

@tanjaostman A & E = Accident & Emergency. It's the trauma care unit of the NHS. A place you'd go in an ambulance (or walk in, as I did today) Lots of doctors aand nurses, and plenty of equipment.

I wasn't quite in the most serious part, .but I wasn't in the main A&E ward either...

When I arrived there was one other person waiting to be seen. When I left my bed was already being cleaned and made ready....Praise God we arrived in a quiet moment!

I had a chest x-ray, which showed some cloudy streaks - which matched up to the blood they took and tested - indicating a mild infection. One of infection markers was ever so slightly elevated (I don't really know that means)

I had frequent oxygen monitoring (all good) an ECG (I think - what ever is called it was the machine with lots of wires and cables that tracked the electrical signals from my heart

Lots of observation too

Lovely doctor

@Berrybunchfamily thanks for the information! Good to hear that you were tested, and to know that it's not extremely bad, even if you haven't recovered yet.

Follow

@tanjaostman I've got another 5 days of antibiotics which they hope should help clear up that infection
