Hey Ladies - hope you're all doing well today!
I wasn't on yesterday as me and DD were in Hospital all day. I woke up, put the heating on, and went upstairs to get DD ready for School. As I did, my Carbon Monoxide detector went off - I thought that the house was on fire or something! So I quickly packed a bag, grabbed DD and the dog, and headed off to my mums. As I got there, I started to feel drowsy & headachy, so we were both sent straight to A&E.
Turns out that we had Carbon Monoxide in our blood, but at low levels. I was on oxygen for about 5 hours, DD about 8 hours. We both had lots of blood taken, including (for me - not DD thank god) a really painful sample from a smaller vain (which, first time, doc couldn't find and he hit a nerve).
I must say though, the staff at both A&E and the children's ward were fantastic. I saw a gyne doctor who checked on the baby for me, not just a midwife, which made me really impressed. Baby is fine
Scary thing is, if it wasn't for my detector, we would have sat next to the fire causing the problem to eat our breakfast. Then, i'd have been on the laptop next to it all day. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that it saved my life. We stayed at Mother-in-laws last night, and British Gas have been out today to repair the fire etc.
As for facebook, i'm Rebecca Holmes on the Uni Leeds and Uni Huddersfield networks (I think lol). My pic is my scan pic, and if you pop your b&b name on i'd love to be your friends
