An interesting 18 hours.
Around 10 pm I awoke unable to breathe.
I was trying hard to suck air, but zilch.
I thought I was going to die.
Called an ambulance, who brought oxygen and cortisone, and they managed to get me breathing again on the way to Ipswich Hospital.
Turns out my COPD is worse, I also had pneumonia, and a mucus plug, where phlegm blocked my airway, preventing air from entering, effectively smothering me.
They've given me all sorts of new medications.

Katie, I hear you about the gap in our lives left by a loved dog - it's the worst.
