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!

Trade offs

Hoorah I have cracked it! I now know how to do an Internet shop. Mind you what I've brought is any ones business, but if it stops me having to drag heavy shopping bags across from my car to my bungalow, then I don't care as I'll eat whatever I've brought. There must be something in my Nigella or Jamie cookbooks to rustle up a meal from finger on button slips!
It's just another way to make my life easier and hopefully save me some money as I won't be tempted by impulse buys, although the delivery charge was pretty steep to have it delivered at the weekend so I could of had quite a few impulse buys for that. Mental note will have to arrange for a midweek delivery in future.
You live and learn hey.

Mother still looks washed out, but not as bad today. I must try and tempt her out of her nightclothes and into her day clothes tomorrow, as that makes you feel a hundred percent better straight away.
She seems to be eating ok and my talk of maybe getting a caravan or a lodge on the Suffolk coast in the summertime seemed to perk her up.
One thing I have learnt from having this disease, is you need nice things to look forward to, be it afternoon tea out somewhere quaint or a shopping trip with lunch out with the girls.
Jean came round today with chocolate muffins and went back laden with presents for ex work colleagues (notice I used the work ex?... I'm moving on!) for birthdays that I missed while I was ill. Hopefully I'll get to see them all again soon.
Quite a few emails from them today so that was nice.

Ah well off to cook dinner for the girls for tonight. The roast chicken smells good. I'm hopefully I can trade them a dinner for changing my bed sheets!

Lots of love Debbie x
