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!

Purple and Red

Day two of being a failed sword swallower. My throat is still sore and I can still fall asleep at a drop of a hat.
When I woke up this morning didn't feel too bad until I had a coughing fit. The kind of dry cough that sounds like a dog trying to bark with a sore throat and that really roughed up my throat.

Started feeling a bit better by afternoon so went and got a shipping order of throat lozenges to suck and some more fruit. That wore me out and I fell asleep on my sofa with my mouth gaping open (totally glamorous) and I just know I was snoring my head off. Woke up with a throat that felt like someone had crept inside it with a cheese grater, plus hoped that no one had looked in through the window, as I'm sure it wasn't a pretty sight.

Still I managed to work my way through all of my recorded TV programmes till my eyes were turning square. I am mortified to say I am turning into my mother with a fondness for detective programmes as I watched four hours of Foyle's War and Midsummer Murders, only pausing to pass the endless cups of tea that I've been drinking.

When I am old I will wear purple and red together. Holy crap... I do already!

Lots of love Debbie x
