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!

Hat trick!

Yay... hat trick... three hospitals in one day and you can throw in a trip to the dentist as well!
Started with a morning appointment to the dentist and I must say £45 for a tiny filling is a bit extreme, especially as it wasn't even a proper filling, but a surface filling and she said the chances are it will probably fall out, as they don't hold well!
Plus what is it with the medical profession that as soon as you say 'this time next year, I could be a new woman', that they all say 'Oh you can return back to work then!'
After years of trying to get me to stop work, they now want to send me back again...why??
I should have turned round and said to her that I have been thinking about doing something for the environment and as I have heard somewhere that the peak of Mount Everest is littered with rubbish, that I have volunteered to do rubbish picking up there. Give me a couple of months and a supply of mauve bin bags and I should have it ship shape in no time!

Next was a quick zoom back to my bungalow as I forgot my sample to take into St.Michael's back in Braintree, just down the road from the dentist... grrrgghh.
As they were worried about me yesterday, I thought that I better do the sample that Hannah had asked me to do last week and just put every one's mind at rest, including my own, as I have been a bit more weirder than normal.

I then set off to Broomfield hospital to pick up my monthly supply of drugs from their pharmacy.
It's quite an adventure going there now it has been turned into this ultra modern hospital.
I was able to pop into W.H.Smith's to buy my weekly magazine and met two of my ward nurses pouring over the best sellers in the book section. After a chat of which ones we recommended each other, with lots of Ooos and Ahhs, I nipped into the M&S that they have just opened up and brought my lunch plus my dinner for tonight.
I did think about having a posh coffee in one of the coffee shops there when I remembered that they also have the winter D&T bug in the wards, and that was something I didn't want to bring home!

I then popped home for a little catnip after seeing the girls at work and before setting off again to St Peters in Maldon for my weekly physio session.
Because of the scare with my stats yesterday, Ruth decided to check me over and asked why I had drawing on my back? Now I swear that I have had two showers and a bath since Saturday night, but I obviously hadn't got all the artwork off and I hope Ruth couldn't make out the giant penis and 'Debbie loves cock' which Julie had scribbled all over my back, after pinning me to the table at the 'Scouts Music Quiz' with a Biro bless her. Still at least it wasn't my forehead which she was aiming for!
I am now shattered both in mind and body. Goodnight all.

Lots of love Debbie x
