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!

Full moon fallout

Nearly back to my normal drop dead gorgeous self. Went back to work yesterday feeling naked and about ten years older with no mascara on, but I didn't think it would be a wise move to put a bit of slap on, as I still resembled an owl with the bridge of my nose still swollen.
The left eye is still giving me gyp, but I'll live. I'll go to the cinema tonight so I don't have to scare the punters.

Had my flu jab done first thing this morning and had to sit out in the waiting room for 15mins afterwards in case I blew up like the elephant man after Wednesday's fiasco and because the last time I had gentamicin it had peculiar effects on me. I am beginning to think that I am the eighth wonder of the world at this rate! The real strange effect I have after one of these occasions, is that I have a burning urge to buy new clothes! I wonder how much I have in my bank account???

Weather is really cooling down now, although it was beautiful and sunny first thing. But alas I think I might have left too late to get my sheets dried before the promised rain arrives as they are still going round in my slower than slow washing machine.
I had a card from my sister and brother-in-law today who are living in Portugal for three months. I would have loved to take them up on their invite and stay over there for a week, especially as my other sister and two nieces are flying off tomorrow. But as we know oxygen and air travel doesn't come cheap I'm afraid and after my one and only attempt, it's not good for my nerves either!
In fact everything seems to have gone a bit awry this week. We should have been going on our yearly pilgrimage to watch Burnham's torch light carnival, eats loads of shell food, have a drink and visit the funfair tonight. I do hope that the funfair ladies, who always give me loads of cuddly toys even though I'm crap at the sideshows, I hope they don't think I've snuffed it! But Lynn can't make it as she fell up her kitchen stairs and cut her leg really badly over a week ago and she has got to get better as she's off to Torquay next week for a walking holiday with a jacuzzi etc in their lodge, bless her. Ann is at a Scouts fun day thing again, Julie is having to work and I don't feel up to it really. I think this Thursday's full moon had a bit of a weird effect on us all!

So I'm going to mosey on down round the shops and if I happen to buy something, it's all for the greater good of my health!

Lots of love Debbie x
