Year Getting Tougher
Its been a few months since i wrote my first blog, so just a quick update on my health and personal life really. Since being discharged from hospital for being admitted for the 3 week intensive course in January 2012 for the course of Intravenous Antibiotics, ( which is to try and kill the bugs growing on my lungs which includes the nast mycobacterium tuberculosis), I 've not been able to tolerate the Amikacin nebulised antibiotic which is meant to be a 12-24month after course to completely eliminate the bug. The side affects which has been a range of sore throat and swelling, loss of voice , dry throat and croaky voice, has been on stop and start due to these side affects. On the happy note, i got promoted at work in June and am working full time 39 hours a week which was brilliant news for me and my family, my daughter who i am very proud of is almost fully toilet trained, and my Fiancee has now got a job as well. I completed a second Tandem Sky dive in September which was a lot more exciting then the first 1. Whilst i have been busy with everything happening in my life, i have not noticed my lungs becoming worse by the day. I have been up the hospital on frequent occasions and each time my lung function has dropped and my weight also. This week after coughing up blood, and having pains in my lower back and sides of my lungs, my family advised me to call Norwich hospital and notify them of my symptoms and has now booked me in the be admitted on the 20th November 2012 for a 3 week course of intense Intravenous Antibiotics again which may results in a combination of 3 different drugs than last time. This means i will be home on the 11th December 2012. I am nervous about being admitted this time around as so many circumstances have changed which will include me seeing very little of my family due to them now having work and money situations also. I am hoping to be able to use my laptop with the hospitals free Internet this time so i can Skype my daughter at home so i can at least see her. If anyone wants to come and visit me in hospital, you can contact me on Facebook or on my mobile number if you have it. Your company will be appreciated :)
Many Thanks
Matthew
