Lying in the hospital

I'm here because I had an episode of not being able to breathe.
I was frightened because I had been incubated May prior to this month. Thank God I only had a CPAP doing better now but still here hoping to go home today I came across this app so I decided to sign up thank you.

    Welcome to this wonderful forum. The more members who share their experiences, the more knowledge all of us gain. I don't blame you for being frightened, not being able to breathe is a scary scenario. I am lucky in the respect that my medical team tells me if I have any breathing problems I cannot contend with at home, to please call them and they will squeeze me in for a breathing treatment. They would rather see me in the office than at the hospital. I hope you get taken care of soon and are back at home where you are more comfortable. Take care and God Bless.

    1. oh I am so sorry to hear this. But try and stay positive and strong. Keep your head up. You have a disease but it doesn't HAVE YOU!!!


      Everyone here is very nice and always willing to give advice. If you need to talk, I'm here!!


      Stay strong!!!
