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!

Ker-ching!

Oh Lord I need chocolate... I'm hoping that the fresh fruit and Greek yogurt that I have in my fridge has the same hit, but I doubt it. I need an ice cold straight out the fridge, Galaxy Ripple...Mmmm.
I am hoping though that the Greek yogurt will calm my tongue down, as it feels like I've taken up flame swallowing. It can't be thrush as for the first time in years, I haven't got a white furry coat on it. But who knows, knowing my body it could be anything!
Still bonus, I weighed myself today and I have lost well over half a stone since being ill and when I take off all my big baggy jumpers, you can actually notice it. Bloody awful way to lose weight though.

I walked over to mother's again this morning with the aide of my trusting walking frame and this time managed it without my head swimming too much. Mind you mother looks bloody awful. She is very white and so tired looking where she isn't getting any sleep because of the cyst on her back, she actually looks like a 93 year old is suppose to, like a little frail old lady!
She has got in a terrible muddle with her antibiotics and had taken morning, lunch and tea-time all by 1pm!
Have to keep a good eye on her now I'm able to get over there again.

Good news is my retirement lump sum has arrived... Yay!... so however long it takes to sort out my benefits, I will have money to pay my standing orders and the horrible pen pusher at my bank who told me that I'd have to be careful when I start running out of money, won't be able to send out 'No funds to cover' letters at £19 a time! Yah boo sucks Mr Coldfish!
It's a good feeling knowing that I'm safe.
Wonder what else can go wrong in the meantime?????

Lots of love Debbie x
