Thankyou everyone. Your concern is heartwarming. I am sure that it will all be sorted and I will eventually have an "urgent" appointment date, not holding my breath - not wise as there is not much breath in me!
I am pleased that after all my temper trantrums, meltdowns, insistance, standing my ground and not giving up that finally my ragged breathing is being taken seriously. Just wish that the medicos had listened eighteen months ago.
My heartfelt thanks to all of you.
Warm (today very warm) Kimberley wishes to you.
