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!

A new dawn and new day

Feeling brighter today and more on solid ground again.

Had a long chat with Ruth this morning which helped enormously. Ruth who is the head physio team and is the voice of all reason, well my reason. She has always seemed to be able to calm me down and not laugh at any of my little niggles that I come across.
We talked about my big decision which I have been contemplating which will be revealed in time, after of course that I have it certain in my head and spoke to the correct people.

Even managed a trip to the shops on my own today. Only because I had to go, as I had hardly anything of Barbara's goodie bag left in my fridge. And mainly because all my friends were running around after my mother and I didn't want them to spend the whole of their weekend running after me and my mother. Plus Ruth's talk had made me feel a lot stronger, although she did reprimand me for telling strangers who annoy me to, ' drop dead, so I can have their lungs'
Ok, I won't say that again, well not unless they really pee me off!

Weighed myself today and I have actually lost nearly a stone. Mmm so why doesn't it show that much? Alright I have been weighing myself of mother's scales and they are probably dodgy like most things in her bungalow! But my bungalow smells of fish now after my healthy dinner of baked mackerel and I have been really good in not having anything in my fridge that could tempt me, well apart from a few cans of Pimms, but I can't be a total angel can I?
I must remember now though to remove my oxygen specs when blowing out the scented candle in the kitchen. I've already had one disaster from healthy food!

Ohh and on my food shopping trip... I brought some Bach flower rescue remedy, so things are improving I promise.

Lots of love Debbie x
