Hi @Zoe7@Shaz51@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope@utopia@Decadian
After working yesterday and seeing the CAT team psych i came home and was struggling to breathe. Took some ventolin and just rested. But it was hot. At 3am this morning I woke up strugglimg to breathe, took some more ventolin but it didn't help. I was struggling to get air in and there was a slight wheeze. So I rang 000. Ambos came pretty quick, checked me out and said they couldn't hear a wheeze below in my chest but could hear it when i was breathing alone. BP was good, oxygen levels were good. So they had already called another ambulance to come as these guys were MICA. They weren't sure whether to take me to my local hospital because they weren't sure if xrays were done at that time of the morning; so they thought they may send me to the bigger hospital which is 30 mins away. By this stage my breathing was fast, i was dry in the mouth and started to shake. The next ambos turned up and a lovely lady sat next to me while they were deciding what to do. The MICA guys left and now my anxiety was worse than the breathing (but it's all linked together). i started to cry and said i don't know what to do; so the lady said do i have any med to calm me down, i said yes and she gave me one. She sait for 10 mins and i told her about my episode the other day with lifeline and the CAT team. She thought it would be better for me if i stayed home after taking that tablet it would calm me down and i would be able to sleep.
So in the end they left as well. Looking back now i should have just said take me to the bigger hospita where they have the CAT team as well. But i also thought that the CAT team were ringing me today to check on me and i had so much cleaning and decluttering to do today before it got too hot.
I didn't really sleep in, i was awake at 6.30 so i think an afternoon nap is called for. I have cleaned the window awnings as they were disgusting, the windows, the security doors. Put the washing out, mopped the floor and cleaned the ensuite. i juist have to clean upstairs bathroom. I have told the kids that their rooms must be cleaned by tomorrow night because monday morning at 9.30 the guy is coming to take photos. and they must keep their rooms clean from now on until auction.
hubby has been good, he has cleaned the gutters outside, painted bits and pieces around the house that looked like a touch up; and now he's in the spare bedroom breaking up old cupboards.
i have just been asked to go to a friend's house who has a pool for a swim. i may take her offer and go soon and then come home and maybe have a sleep.
the air conds are on upstairs and downstairs so it's quite nice inside.
@Faith-and-Hope I love your picture, that is so beautiful.
i will come back on later and chat again. take care everyone. xxxooo
