• Probably not the right thread for aggressive mockery of someone’s religious beliefs?

  • Yeah, weird flex.

    Sorry to hear that @VintageJon - I can well believe that was a wake up call and it must have been a traumatic experience. Hope you're doing well now.

  • Thanks, yes I’m doing well, cycled up Box Hill on Thursday so feeling much stronger.
    It was a journey, I’m thankful for so many blessings . Yes I’m grateful that we have a fantastic healthcare system made up of wonderful men and women who have come from far and wide to care for us.
    Happy to share my experience or pray for anyone who may be in the position I was in. DM.
    I certainly was supported and carried through by many who prayed, after being on max oxygen c pap for 2 nights it was assumed I had made sufficient progress, 3 days later I was not progressing (sats not improving)and having been told I’d be going back to the other ward, I prayed for a breakthrough and started exercising in my bed and drinking hot green tea. This helped clear the lungs sufficiently to increase oxygen. 2 days later I was off oxygen and had to have 24 hours off it before I could be discharged. There are more details I won’t share but I did get home and got on a high protein diet and carried on clearing my lungs for about 10 days. Having spent most of my time in hospital on my front I had to retrain my balance too, that took about a week.
    I’d rather pray to a God I know and who listens, than cross my fingers as 2 consultants told me to do.
    I genuinely hope no one reading this has to go through what I did.
    My wife managed amazingly well considering the situation and worked through. She did visit me 3 times which was like having an angel turn up. Having her push me out in a wheel chair into fresh air to the car was just like a dream.
