Off to the pub in a little while as my friend is playing darts, so I'll go and Ra Ra her on.. mind you she's very good and doesn't need me to cheer her on really.
Going to be weird though if some of my old friends are in there. As New Year's Eve when I was last in the public bar and for the first time in absolute months, I saw some of them and they were so pleased that I was doing so well... Mainly because I told some porkies.
I had my oxygen in the saloon bar where I would sit for a while with it on while chatting to other friends who see my all the time with it on. And then I would whip it off, go back in the public bar for a drink and a chat with the others, then excuse myself and go back for a refill of oxygen. Vain or what!
Trouble was one of them was so pleased that I had 'won' as he put it, that I didn't have the heart to burst his bubble. How do you tell someone over a loud disco that the reason that I was looking so well, was that I had been beaten to an inch of my life in physio that afternoon to drain my lungs and was topping up whenever I got puffed in the saloon! And all because it was New Year's Eve and I was trying to pretend, because I'm a vain git!
Best go and slink in now!
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!
