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!

Stacey who?

Think the overnight oxygen is beginning to kick in as I am beginning to have more energy.

Yesterday after the woman from the bank's over sea's call centre upset my mother, I went and hacked down some of the old Russian vine had which spread like wildfire and was choking a rather pretty bush in my garden last summer. I was left puffing and panting like a woman in the last stages of labour and scratched to buggery from the branches, but it felt so good to do something again and I had a full green bin to show for my troubles.

Today I changed the sheets on my bed all by myself and without having to have a couple of lie downs in between the task. Then cooked a roast dinner, put mother's recycling out and still had the strength to keep repeating who had killed Archie in Eastenders every 10 mins, as mother bless her kept forgetting. Even when to avoid repetition I changed who did it, it didn't matter as she'd forget that as well! Even when Stacey said it was her at the very end of the episode, mother missed that bit. Stacey did rather say it like a ventriloquist dummy and mother missed the confession... although apparently she had a really bad sore throat, so she's forgiven.

Oliver says that I am turning into mother and bless him I think he is right, as today I read my mega dose Vitamin C tablet tub. I thought swallowing them was rather like swallowing a horse tablet... apparently you are supposed to chew them! I wonder how long they take to dissolve in your stomach????

Move over mother, I'm coming in!

Lots of love Debbie x
