Overnight breathing problems - admitted to Derby Royal Sunday lunchtime

I woke up early Sunday morning (around 1am) on the couch downstairs where I had been sleeping. I was extremely out of breath and very confused and incoherent.

Julia managed to calm me down and I was not to bad for the rest of the night but in light of the issues related to a high calcium level we called the hospital Sunday morning and decided I would be admitted after lunch on Sunday.

They started me on IV fluids for the confusion/calcium and began investigations for the continually worsening breathing problems - a 20 foot walk to the bathroom had become a chore!!!

Was in a side room for the whole stay this time and once more received excellent care from all involved.

  1. Hi Clive, rotten news. Still blogging from your hospital bed though, full marks, despite the pre-historic iphone interface. Best wishes to you and your family through this difficult time.
