@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 @tanjaostman I'm so glad you went to see a doctor, the antibiotic should help you feel better soon.
@MaryMamuzich @tanjaostman I hope it will
So dehydrated right now! I'd kept my fluids great until half a day in a hospital! On my second point of fluids since coming home 30 minutes ago
@Cherishingsparrows2020 the Doctor made the point a few times that it was incredibly mild.
looking forward to starting to feel again! it's been a long two weeks and now i know why it didn't feel like I was actually recovering
