Well I remembered going to bed, but that's all I remember until this morning when I was woken up by the sound of a ambulance siren. I did wonder for a minute if I had died in my sleep and that they were coming for me!
I called mother to make sure they weren't coming for her and was rewarded by a very chirpy mother with a lot more energy than her clapped out daughter.
I then had a call from the Respiratory team who were a bit concerned about my stats and low blood pressure. I promised that I will chill out today and get checked over when I get to rehab this afternoon.
Looks like my blood pressure just goes very low through the night and my stats are just very low. So what's new! Was hoping that Ruth would say that I didn't have to do sit to stands etc as I've been feeling fatigued, but no such joy. I was even lapped by the 'Oldies' today while doing the 3min walk, how humiliating! But I did feel slightly better for the exercise, although my shoulders are now killing me from doing the side arm raises. You win some, you lose some!
Looks like I'm going to have to buy a fridge freezer quicker than I thought as I have dark water leaking from somewhere. Not sure where though, as the fridge inside is still ok and doing what it's suppose to do, but it is very old and I was going to replace it as soon as I got my retirement money. Lets hope it holds out that long, as I've heard nothing from HR at work as yet. There are quite a few things to replace or just to buy, but I am only too aware that I mustn't go on a spending spree. Hopefully that money will have to last me a long time if all goes well with the transplant, but it would be nice to put my signature on the bungalow.
I think it's time to go and have a long soak, as my shoulders and arms are seizing up well!
Lots of love Debbie x
About Me
- Me...Debbie Burden... or known as Burders
- 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!
