Woke up yesterday feeling like Marvo the sword swallower's not so talented sister, as my throat felt like I'd swallowed a couple of packets of very sharp razors.
Today it felt like I'd only swallowed one packet, but still felt really tired. I think the cause of this one is my own stupid fault, as I had decided to sterilize my aero chamber which you use with inhalers, with boiling water and buggered the rubber seal inside it. So I was then getting a build up of the fine powder on the roof of my mouth from the medication from the inhalers, which in turn had grown what looked like a furry coat and left my mouth and throat very inflamed with Thrush.
Now I have gel from the doctors which you have to try and rub onto the inflamed area with my fingers making me gag. Oh happy days, all because I thought I would make my medical equipment scrupulously clean. So seven days to go before we sail off on holiday and I rubbing on gel and sucking tablets like they are going out of fashion.
And yes, you probably have worked out that Thrush is what you get in your vagina and yes I've had the indignity of having to shove a pessary up there too!
Some days you just don't want to get out of bed do you.
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!
