Had a couple of glasses of wine tonight, as I'm starting another course of antibiotics for this latest infection which I knew I was brewing up on Tuesday.
Quite green and thick nasties are continuesaly coming up from my lungs and nose, so the team aren't going to take any chances and are going to start me tomorrow on a course.
My arms and legs are aching too, especially my left arm, but I have no idea whether that is the infection or the effects of the statins? I've lost the advice sheet from inside the packet, so I've no idea what's normal and my specialist did warn me that if my arms hurt too much to stop taking them straight away. But how much is too much and does the aching calm down eventually or what?
I'm permanently on antibiotics, but taken through a vent stream, plus other tablets and inhalers, so my poor old body must feel like it's permanently partying at naughty places with all these drugs inside me!
I was very well behaved today and stayed indoors resting for most of the day, mainly because my energy levels were pretty low due to feeling yuk and also because of the heavy rain showers. After all, if I'm not feeling too grand at the moment then there is no point putting myself in harms way. I certainly don't want another bout of what happened to me earlier this year, where I thought there was no way back from how ill I felt thanks to a simple little bug, no way.
But by the time I went to pick up Reni, the sun had come out and surprisingly it was quite hot again. The sun glasses were back on and the cardigans came off. Very much like the words in that hymn 'After the sun the rain, after the rain the sun.' I used to love that one at primary school!
And then all change again like the hymn as when I got home and got my shopping out the car, it poured down again and I was soaked through just getting from the car to my bungalow... grrrr.
So much for me taking care of myself.
Ah well, the gardens and farmers desperately need the rain, but please clouds just wait till I'm safely inside before you drop your load!
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!
