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!

Round 1

Thank goodness for good friends.
The sort that come and pick up your mother and take her to the doctors for her flu jab, because there was no way on earth I could have got my weary butt up in time. And the best thing was I didn't have to even ask as two of my friends both offered before I admitted defeat that I wasn't going to be able to do it however noble my intentions.
I was feeling a lot better today, but they foresaw the problems that had niggled me which I thought I could conquer... er no... I may have felt better, but it wasn't until about 1pm before I actually realised that I felt better, if that makes any sense and mother's appointment was 9.40am.
Thank you to Ann and Barbara for being realistic and kind.

Although I actually managed to break out of the bungalow for an hour, as Ann offered to push me around Freeport, well a little corner of it, but was so lovely to get out. I even managed to buy something to wear.
Mind you I was so knackered when I got home and all I did was sit with the most energetic thing I did was opening my purse!
So glad that the conkers that I've placed around the bungalow seem to be keeping the spiders at bay, as I think if I had to try and catch one at the moment, you just might be calling an ambulance for me as I'm still trying to remember how to walk and breath at the moment without my head and chest trying to burst open like something out of an Alien film!
What's the betting though, I get an army of spiders passing through tonight as it's wet outside now?

Ok I'm not quite ready to do a marathon just yet, but I am making progress and I still haven't cried!

Lots of love Debbie x
