Yesterday morning, my hubby, felt great!😊
I was ready to go to work, came back in from the car, for my coffee and water for the day, and heard a rumbling. It was my hubby in the front room and he couldn’t breath, he was scared, so off to the hospital we went.

I was scolded by the nurse for not using an ambulance. I know my hubby and after a million years of dealing with his asthma, I knew he was getting oxygen, just not enough, but knew he’d survived a trip to a hospital that is in Orange County. An ambulance would have taken him to a hospital down the block, he may have truly not make it out there alive! 😠
Plus, after she was being told he just can’t get enough air, she just nodded and let him sit there outside for a long time. So go figure!!🙃

Hospital triage was being done outside because of Covid. They’re always very attentive there, so they must be use to patients having difficulty breathing. So that may be why everyone was just saying yes, we hear you, he can’t breathe, and your point?😒

Al, my hubby told me not to bring his cellphone, but the nurse told me he really needs it, plus make sure it is charged, so I had to go home and get it, the hospital is about 10 miles away with traffic a 30 min drive round trip.
He was in the ER when I got back. Being outside, the nurse stopped what she was doing and brought his cell to him right then and there. Remarkable, I love that hospital!!!❤️

He was admitted, and they are keeping him for a day or two, he asked for the recharger, I told him I was told to have the phone fully charge so I thought that meant not to bring a charger! 🥴 Now, another trip to the hospital and I can’t even see him or go inside.😒
When I brought it back, his assigned nurse came out to get it, how can a hospital be so good like that?💕 I know the hospital by us would have thrown it in a bin and it would never be seen again.

Long long story short, they say he looks great and they have put him on steroids, plus low oxygen and they are keeping him a day or two. 😊
Going to the hospital three times, plus the bit of worrying it causes, helps with weight loss, but don’t try it, not worth it.
We used a new Covid vaccine delivered via an audio interface as music. It is hoped that this will lead to heard immunity, it didn’t work.🤨😄
Have a Terrific Tuesday!🌺
