"WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES" is a sequel to "MY BODY AND ME" This takes me through hospital examinations, diagnosis and Cardiac Surgery and contracting MRSA. This is written from both the patient and a nurses view point. Staff were under the impression that as a Registered Nurse I knew all about the position I was about take up. We are trained/taught what happens and how to treat but it is not untill it is experienced that we begin to learn.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES !!
What made me give up smoking?
I do not know myself
It must have been the thought
of deteriorating health.
Since I ceased to smoke the weed
I cant say that it helped
as since the time I finish
I’ve not been feeling well
I went to see my doctor
who, said “asthma you do have
just try these two inhalers
and it should not be too bad.”
At times the breathing’s pretty bad
just ask my friends at work
so I went and had a chest x-ray
but that showed all was clear
So now we need the think again
of what could be going wrong
for there was nothing showing up
around my heart or lungs,
Back to the doctor I did go
to see if he could help
with the breathing problems
and the pains as well
So he gave me G.T.N.
in the form of a spray
“try this” he said and then told me
“come back another day”
But thing did not get better
but slowly getting worse
so I had an ECG done
by the girl at work
Well now we are getting some where
for the ECG it showed
Ischeamic changes to the heart
but they could be old
S -T depression it did show
which isn’t really good,
so “ go and see you doctor
as quickly as you could”
an appointment with the doctor
I got that very day
when I got to see him
I took the trace with me
