Goodness poor you with all these hospital visits and tests. Stay tucked up in the warm. Can you get someone to do some shopping etc for you to save you going out in the cold?

That's not good news.
Would it be worth you getting a prepayment certificate for a while? You can get one for three months for 29 pounds plus pennies.
Great to see you back with your original diary. I bet you are pleased.
Keep warm and look after yourself

My children will do shopping ES , but I live 400 yards from the doctors , and another 800 yards to the hospital. I was well wrapped up though . The chemist is in the hospital , I am very lucky .This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

The doctors are pretty sure my lungs are ok , they are covering all eventualities with the antibiotics. I hope not to need anymore medication . The lung specialist in London who I see once a year will look at my scans and decide if I need any further help.
Apart from still only having about 75% of my voice and coughing incessantly at night I dont feel so bad.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
