well got sacked from my new job - where I was working in a private oncology team! Yes me with all my interest and care for those on the difficult journey of cancer and its treatments. But as I wrote in my earlier blog I am having some challenges to my own health. My sleep apneas leading to exhaustion and difficulty in waking for my early shifts. I have to wake at 4:30 am to catch the two buses to work as I like to arrive early to have as settle in cup of coffee before handover.
I have no car as financial difficulties took it off the road with me notifying the DVLA and SORNed it - but the place where I kept it was considered on road and not off road so it was ceased and crushed!!!! so I have only public transport to use now!
I had slept in therefore not been able to ring in an notify the ward of my absence.. This is a sackable offence... so I have lost my job...
I was able to go to Harefield Hospital to tell the doctor looking after me that I had had this happen. Well told him through his secretary..! I had only received the CPAP machine a few days ago and not at the time of the sleep in incident...
I ended up with chest pain with the stress of all this and stopped off at the local A/E where my ECGS were deemed ok but my myglobin was raised therefore - there was a need to admit me over night in the observation bay...and perform a further test for my treponin... I was monitored overnight. Hubby managed to get my CPAP in for the night stay... but the whole experience was scary and I do not like the idea of moving into a patient zone.. I need to keep fit and well to earn and enjoy my life with my man!
I now know what it is like to lay in bed as a patient and see your cardiac monitor alarm flash at a bradycardia, feel more pressure pain over the heart and the nurse call bell not work as you call help to simply gain some reassurance...!
The team caring for me can see that the fundmental problem is the structural stress and strain of my large boobs and then the emotional stress on top of this that is causing havoc...
so now I am to write again to my local PCT and local surgeon to see if I can be allowed the right to have a at least a first line assessment by plastics and then be allowed the right to have a reduction of the excessive heavy breast tissue.
Killer Boobs!
