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!

He's behind you!

Hard to believe a year has passed since the last panto at my village hall in Silver End. I can remember being so scared of walking into that hall wearing my oxygen and facing people I hadn't seen in years. This year I am a lot stronger and not so freaked out by people seeing me. Mind you I have been living back here in the village since July '09 so most people have got used to me with it on now and most don't even give me a second glance. Plus my mate who was one of the lead characters has started colouring his hair for a part in another play, so why am I worried that people are looking at me!

Good fun though, I think I giggled the whole way through it, watching and heckling my mates up on stage in their production of Aladdin. The only down side was when the space ship landed in Eygpt... yes I know I said it was Aladdin!... but as I was saying, when the space ship landed accompanied with billowing smoke from the on stage smoke machine... all my lovely friends went into overdrive fanning around me with their programmes trying to disperse the bloody smoke! Good thing my physio was there tonight if things got nasty, as her husband is the director... small world huh! Though I do believe the worst thing that would have happened was we would have wet ourselves through laughing so much and I don't think Ruth would have had four pairs of assorted sized knickers in her first aid box!

A lovely long lie in tomorrow folks... Oooo bliss
lots of love Debbie x
