Many thanks .. but actually I am not really worried at all. I normally am very optimistic about these things and am now. I suspect it's gut, as that medication is having an effect, but at 69, there could be something else or even both in play. My sister a good 12 years younger , had 1/2 a lung removed at end of February. ..We suspect Radon . They moved her operation up a few weeks , with an expectation of CV19 coming in March. The first I knew ,or indeed herself , was the day before the operation.Sorry to hear that. I hope you get your problem sorted. personally, I have a fatalistic approach to my life, so health problems don't really worry me, but I can imagine that your situation must be very worrying.
I was kicked out of hospital with lungs full of blood clots and a prescription for blood thinners. After a couple of weeks of being quite ill, I suddenly realised, there was no follow-up arranged, so I rang the GP to see if I needed any further tests or treatment. He told me to ring 999 if I went dizzy or feint. They had washed their hands of my condition and didn't want to see me anymore. I live on my own, so if anything would happen, I'd be in deep trouble.
Your situation seems more frightening to me, especially living on your own.
Years ago, I had a student come into me apologising for missing a class test ..mid semester two days or three earlier. He was a white as a sheet... the term death warmed up came to mind ... Apparently his Mother could not wake him up or he could not move the day of the test .. he had lost about 1/3 of his blood into a stomach ulcer. No pain at all .Ambulance and multiple transfusions later and presumably a puncture repair internally Had he lived alone, he would never have woken. Perhaps you need to set up a buddy call?.
