Gawd knows what the spelling will be like on my blog tonight or will it make any sense, as I am typing this through very blurry eyes thanks to an antibiotic eye ointment... hell that stings when you put the drops in.
I have cream for up each nostril, cream drops to put in my eyes, drops to stop my eyes from drying up and antibiotics to keep in case my sinuses flair up over the bank holiday.
The doctor said that the oxygen is affecting my eyes by drying them out, which is what the optician said as well, only she said that I could end up with glaucoma... nice!
Mind you the doctor made me work for the drugs, as the antibiotic eye drops that she prescribed were out of stock in my village chemist and there was only one chemist in this area that had them. And it was me that had to go chasing over there after them after I had my physio at Maldon.
Listening to another lady in the second chemist while I was waiting for the pharmacist to sort my drugs out, it seems that the drug companies are stopping production of all sorts of various drugs at the moment.
Having to chase around is not great news when you have a banging head after being beaten up in physio and in the sauna that they call St Peters, thank goodness for my 'Chillow' that's all I can say!
Still, physio was good as Hannah was chatting to me about what to expect next week with my angiogram. Her mother has had three in the last four years and Hannah has looked after her on each one.
She gave me helpful hints like wearing a long dress or baggy trousers so I could leave off my pants when going home, as they will hurt where I'll tender.
Or making sure I go home in a roomy car, as I will have to lay back and keep my leg out straight while being driven home.
She also explained what they meant by plugging it, that it is a bit like a pea size lump from a glue gun put under the skin which dissolves over time and she knew the nurse that I saw and said she was very relaxing and kind.
I'm not so frightened now.
Must go now and make the most of two cups of coffee before bedtime, as I have a 'Royal Family Wedding' quiz to design!
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!
