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!

7 Things I have learnt today

Learnt 7 helpful things today.

1. To wear water wings at all times on the cruise holiday and sunbathe right by the life boat station, as one liner was struck yesterday by a giant wave and two people died. Weird thing was it was just off France in the Med.. not good, as Madeira has already had mud slides and that's our first port of call! And I thought the cruise holiday was going to be the doddle and all would go wrong with the flying holiday.

2. Me feeling crap could be down to another virus, as Sam's daughter has gone down with something very similar sounding, a rasping cough like a dog barking with a sore throat etc. Sam couldn't stop sneezing and her eyes running nonstop come lunchtime. We reckon it's because the catkins are out and she has an allergy.

3. Physio makes you feel and breathe so much better... thank you Hannah.

4. Little boil on the top of your leg really does hurt like hell... A plaster on it made it feel better.

5. Duh... Never put a plaster on a boil at the top of your leg! Seriously because when you remove the plaster it hurts like f***, exactly like having a bikini wax and my language was exactly the same too strangely enough! Also found out that the new Avon mascara isn't waterproof, as I resembled Alice Cooper, but with a plaster in my hand rather than a snake!

6. The brand new toothpaste that the dentist recommended yesterday is very, very expensive... better work.

7. Chocolate must be good for your diet, as since giving it up for Lent, I've gained weight... Gawd damn it, my tummy is HUGE!

Lots of love Debbie x
