I had an acute asthma attack today, probably brought on by the weekend of fullness and by the horrible sinus/fever/cough thing I've had since Friday morning.

I had the fun of going into emergecy, waiting half an hour to even see the triage nurse (they were SO busy, I felt bad being there) and then I got freaked out because although most people were having to wait hours to be taken in the nurse took my blood pressure, temperature and listened to my chest and I was rushed straight through. I ended up being taken to the short-stay ward, they took me in a wheelchair cos I couldn't walk it. The nurses were all nice, and they got me orange juice and a sandwich and a magazine (which I didn't read, but the thought was nice) After I'd been there about three hours mc_shamo turned up and kept me company for the next five hours, and didn't complain at all, which was very nice of him.

I just got home a little while ago, feel shaky and short of breath but much better.

Pizza cures all! Glad you're feeling a bit better but it's a little scary. Have you had attacks like this before? Rest up.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Breathing is important.

Many cuddles. Oxygen is your friend.

Gah! *hugs* Nurses are nice people with crap jobs. I'm glad you're okay and have become reacquainted with oxygen.
