Well I am still in 'not so' sunny Silver End, so I haven't runaway to join the Foreign Legion and none of my vital bits have dropped off and been kicked under the sofa as I've walked about today. Mind you the furthest I've walked is from the bed to the sofa to the kettle or to the loo and back, so I could find my nose or ear should it have dropped off on route! So the Rifampicin tablets are doing their stuff, no TB, no Leprosy and no Legionnaires disease.
Not sure whether it's them or the Moxifloxacin, but one of those bad boys are knocking me out for the count today either that or I've contracted sleeping sickness.
Strange how pills work, as I've gone from filling two carrier bags of tissues a day... full of nasties from my lungs... to bringing up hardly anything in the space of just under two days.
I am also best friends with my pjs, which is worrying as I don't care what I look like wearing them, plus a baggy tshirt, an over sized cardigan and socks... Mmm mm looking shite.
Have you noticed that your hair suddenly grows too when you are ill. Says on both antibiotics side effects list that hair loss is a symptom too. Great come tomorrow I'll be wearing a bobble hat with my tramp lady look!
Was a bit worried that I wouldn't see anyone today, but my sister and brother-in-law called in this morning and stayed with me a while, which was nice. Especially as I didn't have to ask them to make me a cuppa, they came and did it with toast and jam too. My other sister is lovely, but you have to prod her! Still if I keep improving at this rate, I'll be making my own breakfast with no problems come Saturday and hopefully be out my bed by 10am instead of nearer lunchtime.
I have to admit, it has been very pleasant looking out of my bedroom window from my bed in the morning, watching the birds and listening to the wind chimes in the trees. On Tuesday the sun was streaming through and if I tried I could imagine myself sunbathing on Oludeniz beach as it was so warm on my skin. I didn't have to imagine hard, as that's the place I take myself to in my head all the time when the going gets tough.
Ah well goodnight all.
Lots of love Debbie x
About Me
- Me...Debbie Burden... or known as Burders
- 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!
