Just a whine really as nothing much can really be done I think I just need distracting

I have a suspected chest infection and am asthmatic
After having an asthma attack at work today I called the Dr's and got a phone call back, they suggested I would getting better help and quicker at my local hospital and to call 111.
They also mentioned they thought I needed steroids/antibiotics as I was struggling with my breathing to such an extent it was obvious via phone.

I have now overdosed on my inhaler sat in the a and e waiting room since 4.20 trying to keep my breathing under control
I have been triaged and told I need to see someone
At 7 I was told the Dr had clicked on my name so would be seen soon

Doing OK today thank you
I can't do much before I'm getting out of breath so lots of 2 minute jobs and half hour sit downs cuddling the Corgis
They sit on me so I essentially get cuddle trapped
Dp keeps calling to check on me and a friend came for coffee so have had a good natter

Lots of resting planned as I'm back to work on Sunday
They would probably be fine with me taking time off but I already lost half a day's pay and can't afford to loose any more as we've had a few expensive months
I'll just get others to do the running about jobs and I'll do the standing still ones

This sounds pretty tough. Have you got a good written plan and know what to do of things don't go the right way? Have yoy got any follow up planned?
