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!

sorry..

First let me apologise for being a cry baby yesterday, today has been a lot better.

I didn't sleep wonderfully well last night I must admit, but I wasn't expecting to either. I kept nearly dropping off to sleep and I'd turn my mobile phone on so I could shine my mobile at the monitor on my wrist to try and catch what my sats were... I don't have a torch as you might have guessed!
I think 85% was the lowest my stats got to, but what happened when I was asleep is anyone's guess as it's all recorded inside the little monitor and only time will tell.
At one point I had to sleep with my hand under the pillow, as the attachment taped to my finger glowed such a bright red and I was doing a very good impression of ET. Mind you my hand then went numb under the pillow where I was lying on it and the tape around my finger was a tad too tight, so I'm sure I've probably registered dead now!
With all that and then I kept hitting my face with the little box attached to my wrist, catching the lead between the two, plus my nightie is all scratched from the velco band where it stuck to it, all in all it was quite a lively night!

Still 'what will be will be' and bless my mother she is still looking for her 'thing', so life goes on whatever. The girls will be round tonight for a curry and a couple of bevvies, so it ain't all bad.

Lots of love Debbie x
