My DH just been taken into hospital with an irregular heartbeat, low oxygen and breathlessness worse than normal due to COPD. He has been unwell since xmas eve and we have tried to cope at home with calls to 111 and gp ringing us back with prescription for antibiotics and steriods as he is prone to chest infections. But this morning we had to admitt defeat. Hoping they will discharge later today as dont really want him staying in there, also that they will sort out what ever the issue is. sad

Haven’t commented on this up till now but have kept looking in to see how things were going for travels. So sad to read this now, hope you have folk who can support you through this hard time. Coincidentally we’d just put on a celtic ballad to play “Going Home” its one I’m fond of, it and your news have brought a tear to my eye. Thinking of you tonight and praying you’ll find peace in all the memories you have. xx ?
