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!

I'm a weeble woman!

Busy, busy, busy like a good semi retired person should be... ah nah. Sat and read my book for quite a while this morning, well that's educational should I ever go to Bombay.
I did do my washing, did all my last lot of ironing and hoovered right round this afternoon, so not quite joined the 'great unwashed set' as yet.
Do feel a bit like an old woman when walking at the moment, not sure why I walk like this when I have a chest infection, but it actually hurts to stand up straight at the moment. I kind of roll when walking and where I have my large back pack oxygen on, I look like I should be going to the pole or somewhere equally bloody cold??!! Probably having a chest infection is not the best time to not be able to have any physio... damn you snow!
Luckily my ex helped out with mother's shopping this afternoon and I took it over to her. Actually it was quite nice to get out of my bungalow for a while, even though mother tried to kill me on the journey home by lending me one of her walking sticks. She said it would help me to get a grip, which it did until I got to the road and then it slipped straight out from under me on the icy road. Luckily as I'm bent up while walking at the moment, I wasn't that far from the ground if I had of followed the stick. And after all as I'm rolling when I walk anyway, I could carry it through and do a commando roll on the road... yeah right!
Ann brought me some milk and bread over tonight and I cooked for her in return. It was nice to actually hear another voice in the bungalow!
Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more exciting.

Lots of love Debbie x
