This is my life right now. Something I never dreamed would happen. To say things have gone pair shaped over the summer is a slight understatement.
I caught covid…..
which turned in to double pneumonia and a heart attack. I had a minor surgery procedure and thought I’d be on the road to recovery.
How wrong was I.
I had an allergic reaction to one of the medications I was taking and my body went in to toxic show damaging my kidneys. I lost 3 days of my life unable to remember what I was doing and during this time I was causing a whole new heap of medical issues; I fell and broke my pelvis is 3 places.
Twenty weeks on I am still walking with a zimmer frame as I am unable to fully weight bear and taking strong pain killers. My walking is improving but it’s going to be a long journey back to walking without an aid.
But dear reader, this is not all of the story. after bing in hospital 8 week I went home to recuperate and 4 weeks in I had struggle breathing. A scary struggle. I was in tears on the phone for the ambulance, I was that scared about not bing able to catch my breath. Of course I had to be I the house unable to open the door and along came the fire brigade to break in to my house and then they took my front window out and I was carried on a board through the window. Not on of the funnest thing I have done!
I have now been back in hospital for 5 weeks and have been diagnosed with heart. failure. Life is physically and emotionally hard right now and if I’m honest I’m struggling to accept all the restrictions that have been placed on my life.
I am not sure how long I will be able to spend time on this blog but I know I don’t want to give the blog up. I’m stuck in hospital until I lose the water retention on my legs, the are currently about 3 times wider than they were and the strange thing is the are so heavy and it’s affecting my mobility. I then need a couple of transfusions once I’ve finished th antibiotics because I got pneumonia a second time or if I'm honest I hadn't really got over the first bout and I went downhill again.
It’s felt a little strange writing this but I feel an expiation needs to be given as to where I have been the past few months and why I won’t be visible over the coming months.
This is life…..
