They kept telling me in hospital both times, even after my 6 min walks that I dont require home oxygen. My doctor agreed with them and added if it's not medically warranted he has to write me a prescription for it which will cost me $3000. I'm in Canada. The shortness of breath is getting better, but the high heart rate is worrisome and again all heart tests normal. Drs and specialists toyed with the idea it might be Interstitial lung disease. But then decided it was a pneumonia that wasnt killed my first hospital stay so during the 2 weeks I was home it re grew and add in sepsis and here we go again but 2nd trip involved intubation and life support. I dont know if that scenario spells pneumonia or interstitial lung disease and neither do they.
The second go round happened Sept 20. It's now Nov 13 and I'm better but still have mucous, still hearing slight crackles, still cant do much and the doctors do not appear concerned! I'm thinking my life is on hold, I'm on no meds or puffers, and can we please get on with this?? Frustrated!
