"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
