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!

Quick, quick, slow, slow

A steady day today, as very bleak outside. Wet and windy, with a bit of mist thrown in first thing, a day for crumpets and big cups of green tea while reading a 'Hello!' magazine, which funny enough I have weekly thanks to the girls from Learning Support! A day when you don't really want to rush about, which is fine by me, as today I don't feel like rushing anywhere in particular.
Strangely enough I didn't have this urge to fill every hour of the day, in fact I broke my cardinal rule and watched TV in the morning. Ok don't panic it wasn't Jeremy Kyle or whatever the shouty programme is called, but something I recorded last night, something set in Italy.
I did take a slow walk round to have a massage this morning which was very acceptable and that loosened my shoulders down from around my ears.
The afternoon was less bleak outside and I stopped being laid back and went off to rehab... Oh dear God I am so unfit.
I guess it is a month since I last went there because of the snow etc, and in that time many mince pies, chocolates and glasses of brandy have passed my lips. Jeepers I am so unfit.
I was actually glad to empty my lungs in the loo, as it got me out of doing 'sit to stands', my most disfavoured exercise. It doesn't sound much of a hard core exercise, but I challenge you to have a go with me!
I think tomorrow I will be having another steady day as I have a sneaky feeling I won't be able to move!

Lots of love Debbie x
