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!

Don't mix toilet cleaner and exercise

Back to rehab today in earnest. Gave it my best shot at sit to stands, squats, side arm raises where you are attached to a gigantic lackey band (elastic band for the posh amongst us!) and other forms of torture. So tomorrow I'm betting that I won't be able to move properly. It will be the weird sensation again where your legs feel that they are on backwards and you walk like Woody from Toy Story.
Please someone tell me how feeling this tired afterwards is suppose to be good for you? But I've got to get big and strong for the op and so far I've only got the big part in hand.

Where I was so tired, I forgot that I had left my vent stream in my bathroom sink to soak in diluted bleach to kill 99% of all known germs. I was on the phone to Barbara and wondered why my bungalow smelt like the local swimming baths... crap I had left them soaking for over an hour and it actually stung my hands when I got the equipment out the water.
So I reckon I've ruined yet more NHS equipment and tomorrow I could be sucking in (hopefully) very diluted toilet cleaner. Won't be thrush in my throat this time... I could be lucky to have a throat if my stinging fingers are anything to go by.
I can just see my sick note for work this time... reason for absence... Sucking in toilet cleaner and unable to walk because of back to front legs from exercise.

Neat... Wonder if it will get me out of the VC's conference tomorrow?????

Lots of love Debbie x
