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
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!
