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!

Check once, check twice and check again.

My stomach has actually started to subside thank goodness, but I am peeing for England now as yesterdays two plates of roast gammon made me sooo thirsty!

I even got up at a reasonable time which was good for me, as I have slept so much this weekend that I feel almost lively, then I think about it and think... nah. Anyway back to work tomorrow which is good news and hopefully once again a hospital stay has been diverted.

For someone that hasn't done anything, I've managed to spend a fair sum of money. I thought I'd check what happens with my insurance now I'm on overnight oxygen. Apparently, even though I had declared it not once, but two years running, they hadn't put it down so I actually went to Norway without having enough insurance! God it doesn't bear thinking about. Being transferred from a cruise liner in the middle of a fjord in Norway to a hospital in a country where everything cost an arm and a leg? I'd still be swimming home a year on minus my kidneys where I would have had to sell them to pay for my treatment I reckon.

Well my house arrest is over tomorrow, so work here I come. Put kettle on Sam.

Lots of love Debbie
