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!

Trolley Dolly in leisure pants!

Today I spent the morning browsing the Internet for a walker. I can't believe someone hasn't designed a fab one for girlies like me, because I have exhausted every site going and the jazziest one I could find was a bright blue one. Even the site where I found my Marilyn Monroe shopping trolley for transporting my first oxygen cylinder around has let me down. I feel there is a gap on the market here, so maybe I should go into designing walkers for the fabulous! After all as Barbara cheered me up by saying, I was about to become a 'Trolley Dolly', now I can handle being that... I love it!

Went out looking for pj bottoms, but unfortunately no luck. I did however relinquished any fashion values I had to a pair of velour leisure pants... unfortunately I hadn't realised they were for short legs, so now I look like an Essex girl reject!
Lovely and warm apart from the six inch gap between my slippers and their hem. Should I start wearing thongs and have them showing while my bum hangs out of my leisure pants and saying 'Shut up' after everything people say to you in a whiny voice!? Or maybe I should train the way I speak to go 'up' at the end of every sentence to make it sound like a question? Hell and they take the Michael out of me being a carrot cruncher! After watching that 'Essex' programme, I bet there will be quite a few others like me who say they live on the Suffolk borders!

Had my physio at the hospital today and really felt worn out when I returned home, so fell asleep on the sofa only to wake up in the pitch dark! Luckily it was where the clocks have gone back and not the fact I had slept well into the evening. Felt very odd tonight though, which was a shame as Jean had treated me to a belated birthday meal at the Compasses, my fav restaurant. I think it could have been the heat in the restaurant and the fact we were sitting near a radiator, as I came over all unnecessary and had to go to the bathroom twice in ten minutes just to cool down. Maybe whatever it was I had at the weekend hasn't quite left the building!

Lots of love Debbie x
