I am so tired that it is unbelievable.
Today I know I have bronchiectasis as all I did was have lunch with a friend and do some essential food shopping and I am wiped out.
Lunch was lovely. A light lunch, smoked haddock with cheesy mash and mange tout and within half an hour of eating it my lungs were filling up with sputum and I felt like I had run a marathon. Ok I had been talking a lot, but I guess I was tired before I even went out. In fact I was still really tired when I woke up!
I had to do the food shopping, but trying to carry the bags, my oxygen unit and handbag whilst bundled up in my winter coat, I looked an old donkey walking from my car to my way bungalow.
I have often said that being fit and healthy is like being a six cyclinder car, but having bronchiectasis is like that car running on two cyclinders... struggling to perform, but doing one's best. Today I am unmistakabley that clapped out motor.
Not all bad. When I opened my bedroom curtains today, I was met with green grass instead of snow. Weird though as I'll miss the snow as it does look so pretty. And it was fab seeing my friend again, haven't see her since September, but tonight I'm going to snuggle on the sofa and watch Celeb Big Brother with a cup of green tea and a chocolate biscuit.
Lots of love Debbie x
About Me
- Me...Debbie Burden... or known as Burders
- 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!
