Morning ladies.
Not been around because there has been lots of drama in my life!!
So, as you all know I've had a killer cold for the last 11 days. On Tuesday I decided to go to the doctors just to see if there was something to clear my cough (3pm appointment!) I had also had some palpitations and shortness of breath so I mentioned them to him too. After nearly 2 hours and an ECG later, I'm referred to hospital instantly.
Arrive at hospital at 5.45. Have to wait to have blood pressure ad blood taken. 10.15 still waiting on results. 11.30 finally see a junior doctors. She is happy for me to be discharged but have to wait for a senior doctor to authorise it. 12.30 see senior doctor, he comes to the conclusion I may have a blood clot on my lung. Have to wait for More blood results. Blood result comes back positive but apparently they were checking for something that is present in almost every pregnancy anyway. 3.00 I have be taught to inject myself with an anticoagulant drug. 3.45 I arrive home into bed, exhausted, sobbing and just wanting it to be over. Told to wait for a phone call so I can have a scan on my lungs.
Yesterday, wake up 11am, McDonald's, back to hospital to collect prescription, find out I need an X-ray before I can have scan!! Aghhh!! Arrive home at 7pm!!!
Needless to say I'm absolutely shattered, all my family now know I'm pregnant and are over joyed but the complications with my lungs are what everyone is worrying about at the moment.
The good thing is on Tuesday night the doctor discharged me and said that she 99% sure there is nothing wrong with my lungs but just to be on the safe side she wants to do to the scan. She also said that she wouldn't have discharged if she was at all worried. Just a waiting game now :-(
Sorry for the long post. Xx
