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!

Win none, lose a lot

I managed to get out and about today, but still didn't managed to do everything that I wanted to do like vital things such as go to rehab. I got caught up in trying to sort my mother out, organising medication for her knees as the doctor came a lot earlier than we thought and I missed him, trying to sort out a home help and personal care from Age UK and trying to sort out her digital box ready for the switch over.

All easy enough to sort until I tried to explain it to mother... Ooo I am an evil daughter! Have help... what am I thinking about! Anyone would think I'm trying to put her in a home not trying my hardest to keep her out of one.

Went home growling and pull up a load of weeds from a flower bed in temper and nearly killed myself in the process. Probably not as well as I'd like to think I am at the moment, but it got rid of my temper and although I've made a mess in the garden, it's a start.

I have the girls coming round tonight so I have done a good old winter lamb stew with pearl barley especially for Julie. I then hoovered, took two bags of bottles and jam jars to be recycled down to the village bottle bank and coloured my hair, so I haven't exactly been sitting on my laurels doing nothing. Have still got an orangey streak though.

I have also throw a load of vitamins into me to try and stop this niggling throat from accelerating into something worse. I don't want to go through another episode of my last infection thank you very much.

I think my ex man friend might have disappeared from the scene again, when late last night he phoned saying how much he wanted to see me and why haven't I got skype sorted out yet.
I explained again that I have changed just a smiggen and when I told him for about the hundredth about my oxygen, he did actually ask questions about when did I use it etc as of course it can't be all the time can it? Er yes and then guess what he had to dash off... well there's a surprise!

Win very few, lose quite a lot.

Lots of love Debbie x
