Over the last 9 months of 2024 my breathing got worse until I had to go to my doctor who prescribed tablets to control my blood pressure.
This didn’t help so my doctor asked the cardiac nurse to visit after l had collapsed twice on the stairs
Shelley arrived in early January and diagnosed heart failure ( fluid overload)
She checked all my medications and changed them to better tablets to help with my problems
Shelley came for about 5/6 weeks and in that time she improved my heart rate and blood circulation and helped to control my breathing, when she reached this level she asked the community matron Karen to take over.
Karen has been attending me for the past 10 weeks and with her and Shelley's skill and expert knowledge I am now as good as I can be, breathing well and being quite active and almost back to normal
I am convinced the skill of both these excellent and dedicated nurses l would not be where I am today.
With my appreciation
"Skill and expert knowledge"
