John had an appointment for a chest x-ray yesterday afternoon as his breathing has got worse over the past weeks.They found a white patch on his right lung,so we were sent to A and E.There,I saw for myself how stretched our poor NHS is.Even with help of army and marine personnel,the staff were SO busy;quite chaotic.We,eventually saw a doctor ,who checked the x-rays.He said it was fluid on the lung,so John needed to be admitted to have it drained.He has been waiting in A and E,since 4.00pm yesterday afternoon.He's in a comfortable armchair,but that is no comparison to a comfy bed.He is on oxygen at the moment,but I have no idea when a bed will become available.There are currently 130 patients waiting for beds!!!! Of course,I'm not allowed in to visit because of Covid.
Many thanks for all your views,comments and favs,always much appreciated.
Beautiful !

Beautiful snowdrops!! So sorry to hear about poor John's wait in the hospital for a bed. I am assuming this is Northampton General? It's very scary to hear your local hospital in in such dire straits!! Hope John will soon feel better.It all seems worse when you cannot visit!!
Oh dear Carol how distressing for you both. I hope by now he has a bed to lay his head, so tiring when you just want to lie down….worrying account if the state of our hospitals even with out massive covid cases. We have to keep well….quite scary! Hope John is just having a blip with his health & soon feels better. Sometimes it’s as bad for those at home worrying!
A lovely photo, Carol- so light and crisp looking! Fav! (I'm so sorry to hear about John. And what an ordeal for him at the hospital, and for you as you can't be with him. I really hope he gets a bed soon and gets the medical attention he needs. Thinking of you both! Take care, Carol)
A lovely shot of these beautiful cheerful flowers - fav! So sorry to hear about the trials that John is coping with in hospital. My heart goes out to the medical staff who seem to be working non stop. I hope John gets a bed soon and gets the fluid drained, and is soon back to full health!
