About Me

My photo
I'll be 55 this August... I've had bronchiectasis for ten years plus this year... End stage lung disease for the past year...been on oxygen for three years... and have I got used to it yet?... nah! I am now waiting for the biggie; a double lung and maybe a heart transplant. I love my life weirdly enough, because I have some wonderful family and friends who are with me every step of the way on my adventures, even though I embarrass them on a daily basis with my unorthodox way of looking at life. Not for the faint hearted!

Day after the letter

Still a bit of fallout today from the VC's letter and not just from our department, but as I said before 'what happens, happens' and I'm more worried that I couldn't move my legs when I got up for a pee in the early hours of the morning!
Not that I had been struck down with something fatal, just a case of my legs stiffening up from rehab on Monday and my bum cheeks aching from the belly dancing last night. I looked like Aunt Sally from Worzel Gummidge walking to the loo going f*, f*, f* with every step I took.... my New Year's resolution is well and truly blown thanks to one of my other resolutions of trying to get fit... so once again another morning I didn't want to get up.

Got my confirmation letter from the magazine company today saying that my holiday is all booked and we are going to Cyprus in June... Hoorah! Fab fab fab (please take note a different f word this time) I can't believe that it is really going to happen. I have a cruise in April too which I'm paying for myself on Valentines Day, so I can actually start eating real food very soon and stop hanging around the bargain section in Tescos to get a bit of variety rather than just beans on toast all the time... But it proves I can save, most people thought that was a myth... Yes I am fab!

See one black cloud looming though. I had a text to say they are going to monitor my oxygen levels through the night soon as I wake up with headaches... I wonder if I splash some brandy over me and go into the hospital smelling of booze they will think it's a hangover that I have each morning and won't do the tests... Oh bugger I'm sure something will go wrong for these holidays, I try not to be negative, but.... 'What happens happens.' Oh Gawd... Please don't prove me right!

lots of love Debbie x
