It’s World Asthma Day on 1st May apparently and I would like to share this day in gratitude for our NHS.
In December 2017 I was taken poorly with my asthma that developed into a chest infection which landed me in Intensive Care. The doctors, nurses and health care assistants did a great job in reassuring and looking after me.
As a result of that episode I did quit smoking for 4 months. It’s been long overdue having smoked since I was 13. I did have a sneaky few but I’m back on it and nearly a month in again. Stopping smoking has improved my health and saved me money, and my asthma nurse is pleased with me. I have an appointment this month to hopefully be discharged from the clinic.
So in a strange kind of way, that asthma episode back in December was a massive wake up call. I never take my health for granted now. After all, it ain’t easy being wheezy!!
