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!

Knees up

I nearly have a fully functioning bathroom again. Just waiting now for the electrician and for the flooring to be laid and honestly I am so grateful to have this lovely shower, but I am so tired as waking up early to get up, dressed and nearly drugged up ready for 8 to 8.30 am.
I had to drag myself out of bed this morning, bleating like a baby, moaning that I'll never ask for anything else ever again!
At least my bowels behaved themselves today, although as they left through the front door, my trousers were coming off at a rate of knots so I could have a much needed pee. As I sat on the loo peeing for England, I noticed that my knees were higher than normal and I then realised when he asked if I'd like a new toilet put in, that the new low rise model that he mentioned wasn't the... excuse my technical jargon... the flusher bit at the back, but the height of the loo it's self. That should prove interesting getting mother off that when she comes to visit!
Still I read somewhere that your knees should be higher as to get better bowel functioning. On my performance yesterday, I have no problem there!
Went off afterwards to visit the girls at work and to have much needed cuddles from my friends. It wasn't a surprise to see that we had a Christmas window display in the Centre as although that was always my job to create, we have now got Andrina to take over the chalice and it did look lovely, so well done honey.
Did a drug run at the hospital afterwards and then had a lovely Christmas meal complete with crackers around my friend's Jacky's tonight.
And now I am ready for bed. What is the betting that the oxygen guy comes at 8am to service my concentrator?????

Lots of love Debbie x
