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!

Friday 13th

As it's Friday 13th today, I decided not to push my luck and go out in the pouring rain to get my drugs as I could end up with double pneumonia! I always wondered how you got that and I suspect being caught in an August cloudburst when you feel crap could be a sure fire way to get it.
So I sent my ex instead. Thank goodness we are still good friends, as he isn't bothered with the rain and he had to chase round after the prescription as it was still with the doctor.

I actually slept really well last night. It's kind of strange sensation when you get told that you actually aren't a very well bunny, as you first feel a rush of relief that you aren't turning into a hypochondriac and then when you let your barriers down, you do then feel quite ill!
I spent quite a lot of the day drifting in and out of sleep. I couldn't even read my latest TrueBlood book for more than 10mins at a time and they have become an addiction to me. Plus I had to pass on the party tomorrow which I've really been looking forward to... bummer. They are having a... Mmm... hog roast, don't you just love that and an ice cold beer at a good party and they always have good parties.
Mind you at the moment I just want junk food and lots of it. I know the old saying is feed a cold and starve a fever... but what is pneumonia; a very bad cold? If so I am doing a bloody good job at feeding it!

Tonight there is suppose to be a meteorite shower, so do I stand by the back door and look for it or do I stay indoors with the curtains pulled tightly together, as knowing the way my luck is going at the moment, I could be turned into a Triffard!
Well I will rest up and do as I'm told as next weekend I have two parties on the same day to go to and I'm buggered if I'm going to miss out on them. After all we are rapidly coming to the end of the summer. I love my birthday, but it always heralds the start of the end of the summer to me. Still I still lots to look forward to and I do love Autumn skies.

Lots of love Debbie x
