Well what a start ,
Just three weeks ago I had a sore throat , which I thought was brought on by my new high setting on my CPAP machine. I was supposed to dianosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and until then that is exactly what I thought it was. I was loseing weight well, bike rideing into work, eating well, and feeling quite impressed about it to. Then after being told by the Chest nurse that I was set at a very high setting (18) I got my sore throat and after a couple of uncomfortable day's went to the GP "looks like a syst or tesit " he said " Take these antibiotics and if it is still sore come back Thursday."
Firday came and I felt still very sore, the clincher was trying to ride up a steep hill on my bike, half way up I was gasping for breath and I had to stop and walk the rest. Back to the GPat end of surgery on the Friday, "This is not to good , I'm sending you to the Hospital tonight away you go."
After a long wait and umteen blood tests in A& E of all places I was seen by a ENT doctor. She was lovely girl (Irish )she said she was in two minds to admit me or not the Syst was looked "Angry and inflamed," and she was not happy either. She call the On-Call Register, but he said the blood's were fine, and as I had not got my CPAP macine with me tomorrow would do.
Saturday came and I went into the hospital to get the syst lanced, (he was also a nice guy this time German) " this is a bit hit and miss" he said,"sometimes it takes a couple of attempts to remove the puss" he said. Then things started to go pear shaped " That's odd I tryed this three time, and there is no puss I need a closer look this is not right."
(My LUCKY Break) It just so happened that the Head Consultant was in the ward (Shorts, Ceckered Shirt and All) and so it went on "This is not a syst ,it looks like a very large tumor and I'm fast tracking you through see you Tuesday.
The story continues
