Horses for courses

It's sunny today, with warmth on your face, washing on the line and I'm knackered.
What is it about sunshine that gives you the urge to tackle mountains and then you find you come unstuck?

I went off to the garden centre to meet a very sweet 70 year who I meet at rehab for coffee and blimey, she has a more of a colourful past then I have! We then walked around the centre and I was seduced by some pretty primulas for my flower pots in the garden and some new pots to put my little trees in that stand outside my front door.
Of course the sunshine then leads you astray by goading you to do things that you shouldn't really be doing, like planting them without the help of a grown up who can actually breathe when bending over. You need a grown up there just in case you kneel over when you've gone blue!
That's ok, as an hour later I felt fine again, a bit shaky, but hey I've got a pretty garden again.
Reni did ask why there was water all over my hallway floor. I told her the truth that I splashed some out of my watering can when trying to water the little trees, but I missed out the bit about my hands shaking uncontrollably where I had done too much.

Still two hours later and I was ready to go to rehab for the first time in absolute ages.
It does worry me when the Respiratory team look surprised when you arrive and say 'gosh you must be feeling better if you're back at rehab. Are you sure you're up for it?'
And then tell you that you can only do 2 mins each exercise. They've never let me off that lightly before!
It was interesting in the talk after the exercises, just how different people deal differently with their lung problems. One lady said that she wouldn't admit that she has an illness to either herself or to other people. The majority who have a COPD through smoking, say how angry they are with the cigarette companies and with people that they see smoking nowadays. But all had sad tales to tell. Everyone of us are different with our thinking and it made me realise that I may be an acid tongued git at times, but I'm a lot more laid back then most of them there today.
I think I do take things on board now without kicking against it so much.
Is this me growing up or just accepting things that can't be changed and working with things that might have a chance of change?

Lots of love Debbie x
