I've got a feeling that the statins are affecting my sleep pattern, as I've only been taking them for two days and I haven't slept for two nights again.
So tonight I'm going to leave them off and see what happens. It might just be the fact that I've had my allotted quota of good sleep which is allowed to me, I don't know, but it felt so good when I was sleeping well for those whole three nights.
So I woke up really tired again and felt a bit peeved off that I had to get up and take mother out to Maldon at 11am. I felt even more peeved when I rang her at 10.45am and she was still in bed and wasn't sure whether she wanted to go or not even though she was adamant that we were going yesterday. Grrrrhh.
I told her to get herself out of bed and get ready as she wasn't spending a lovely day like this laying about in her bed feeling sorry for herself.
I went over to collect her when Ann arrived, as Ann was going to push her up the prom so we could get something to eat rather than have yet another picnic sitting in the car and get some fresh air in our lungs instead.
When did I become the adult and mother the sulky teenager?
Although she sulked most the way there and boy can she sulk when she gets the monk on, especially when I told her the chiropodist was coming to sort out her nails tomorrow morning, but she did actually enjoy it when we got there.
Although she wouldn't get out of the car though for a ride in the wheelchair, she did sit and eat the jacket potato with baked beans and cheese that I got her with great relish.
She had sat watching the world go by quite happily while Ann and myself walked slowly down the prom to buy them.
I actually enjoyed the walk there and back, though I did have to sit for a while. Hopefully I'll sleep tonight.
When we got home, I had no time for a little nap as a couple of friends popped over for coffee and cake while we discussed their holiday in Turkey seeing their son who works out there as a tennis coach... so jealous, going to watch the arrival of their first grandchild who was born in Hong Kong... still jealous and my oncoming transplant... no one was jealous on that one!
Had a rather large scone with cream and strawberries, not good for my diet, especially as I had a sliver of chocolate cake afterwards. I sent the rest home with them.
Was good to see them as they are a lovely couple, although both mad as a box of frogs!
Ann then returned after they had left with a carpet cleaner to go over my front room carpet to freshen it up for me... Goodness me, I was ashamed at the colour and thickness of the water when she had finished.
It's only been down for two years since I'm been here and I didn't realise it was that dirty.
Then over to mother's last the last time today to sort out her evening meal and so I could put her drops in her sore eye and now it's my turn to relax.
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!
