I have survived... just.
It took me a hour to do a trip that normally takes me 30mins thanks to endless roadworks which were all down to our Uni being expanded. The traffic lights turned green, but there was still no movement, in fact the only vehicles on the road that were making progress was the police convoy escorting some bad boy to court and by the looks of the convoy, he must have been a real bad boy!
It was good to see all the ladies back at work, I do miss the banter and the bitching when I'm not there. After a few trips up and down the corridor it soon occurred to me that it was a lot longer than I remembered it and I wondered yet again if a pair of child's Heelies might be the answer to get me up and down it!
By lunchtime, I was knackered. My throat was beginning to twang again and I forgot just how much your brain hurts trying to remember everything. My knees were also hurting. I now have a bruise in the shape of a map of Africa on one knee and a smiley face on the other!
Hopefully after Wednesday I will be cartwheeling up and down the corridor thanks to my overnight oxygen. Wednesday is O-Day or D-Day when I get the talk on how to use the machine correctly... after all I'd hate to look like Violet Beauregarde out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with a gigantic swollen head... strewth it's only just gone down from the steroids!
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!
