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!

Giraffe moment

Thought that going out for Sunday lunch would make my life easier and that I could relax for a change. No preparing food, no cooking and no washing up... duh wrong... Had to prepare mother first by cutting and styling her hair.
Still she looked lovely with her new hair style and her newly painted nails and I think she enjoyed the meal too. I did. It's good to see so many familiar faces again, it's why I like living in a village, that you are known by so many people.

I think I confused people though by having my oxygen on, then not and then on again. And I think a couple on my table were a bit uncomfortable with it, as they didn't know where to look or what to say. I just carried chatting on as normal, but there was a definite 'giraffe walking into the room' moment.

Feel a bit better today and I think I might have sussed out why I felt so worn out yesterday, as I woke up coughing this morning and carried for ages. A dry raspy cough, that sounded like a dog barking with a sore throat... no rude comments Julie! It has been very hot and stuffy at work, so I wouldn't be a bit surprised if I've caught something new. Wouldn't be surprised, but I would be bloody annoyed. Fingers crossed it passes.

Lots of love Debbie x
