Then two weeks ago i started to feel unwell it was the day after my 40th birthday i went to my jp he sent me to the hospital my blood tests are not good and ive just spent a day in hospital having more tests,i have to go back next week,they have told me my resaults for this week are very bad and im getting into the danger zone of needing a machine this is such a shock in january it was 5 years off today it could be weeks has any of you been through the same thing if so let me know how you coped,I myself feel shellshocked my wife is great say we will cope what ever but she is shocked as much as me i have to go into work with my sick note do i tell them or keep it to myself for the moment if you have been in my shoes drop me a line
