Back to hospital


It was summer and my hay fever came back. Itchy throat, weepy eyes, blocked nose, then the news headline indicated the pollen count was very high and that hospitals were expecting to have a high admittance for people with respiratory diseases. Within the same week of the announcement on the news, I experienced all the usual symptoms of wheezing, tight chest, dry cough, and frequent attacks throughout the day.

Eventually the 999 call went out and the ambulance crew came to pick me up. Back to hospital, bed bound, propped up with pillows, a nebulizer mask over my face, smoking and hissing away. My last shameful bed pan experience left me knowing that I would not be back in hospital again with this condition. I had the solution, but I did not want to let go of all my dietary habits.

That day at the hospital, I ordered my first vegetarian meal, with plenty vegetables and salad, and fruit for dessert. I made a choice to become asthma free that day.
