20th January -The Last Week

Since getting back home Sunday night I've just been hanging around and recovering. My medication continued until today, when I've finally finished all the tablets. This is my daily tablet count - which I had to have three times daily for four days.

I had to go and see my GP on Tuesday for a referral meeting, where I was checked out in the surgery - my fingertip Oxygen level is now 97% and I've got a sick note lasting until 4.30pm, Tuesday 24th January when I should be signed off sick and declared fit for work, starting back to work on Wednesday 25th.

I went to work yesterday to hand my sick notes in and to do some posting - basically I've copied the sick notes, sent them to all my creditors, saying I won't be able to pay my bills next month. I've also seen my doggy friend Misty who I've built up a relationship with  over the last few months (she belongs to one of the site's neighbour's who I've started talking to as he walks the dog  every day. Here she is, coming to see me here:

And when I got back home, I had a suprise waiting for me: Misty had sent me a Get well Soon card which now has pride of place in my front room:

And that brings up right up to date now. COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is one of the worse diseases that a human being can get. I have had this for years, directly as a result of smoking. I now have to make major life changes - and that's the subject of the next post.
