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!

Velco nighties and knickers

Holy buggery, having physio on a recovering sore throat is not fun and certainly not fair. Just when you think it's safe to be noisy again, along comes Hannah 2 and it's cheese grater to the throat again!

Still the new Community hospital at Braintree is pretty impressive. Very space station and spacious. Not over impressed with the chairs in our waiting room though... sorry. Very funky and modern, but not overly comfortable. Really wished I was wearing a turban as resting your head on a wall isn't that comfortable. I like the ones that are designed for the larger sized people in St Michaels, where your feet dangle as in Alice in Wonderland and you have somewhere to rest your head.
The ones in our waiting room look a bit like the ones in the foyer of our building at work and the students have nicknamed them, the vagina lip chairs!
I do a lot of waiting.

Treated myself afterwards to new knickers and a cotton nightie. No not glamorous I admit, but when the ship in heavy rocking mode due to rough waters, I do not want to be sliding up and down the bed again thanks to a glamorous satin nightie... I'd be better off covered in velco!

Only two more full days of panicking now till I shut that door and off I go... And I've only sang 'All the nice girls like a sailor' about twenty times today.

Lots of love Debbie x
