January 2024 admitted to ICU with bacterial pneumonia. I spent five day's in ICU on three different antibiotics and oxygen at 80 liters per minute with a full face mask on. I was then moved down to the respiratory ward for about ten days before discharge.
In May 2024 i went for pulmonary rehabilitation, my blood oxygen levels were 37%. I was then readmitted to the respiratory ward where I was diagnosed with polycythemia vera.
Thats when I started on the oxygen at home. The service supplied is second too none.
