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!

Am I a night worker?

Golly, I proved to myself today that I can get up early and still function. This early rising this morning was only because Derek came round to fix something at my mother's and he doesn't know the meaning of the words 'lie in.'
When we were on holiday, us girls would be laying in our beds with a hangover and he would be up cooking breakfast after already lapping Hisaruno village for a morning walk.
Ok Julie gets up early too, I guess that's being married to Derek, but Ann who says she always gets up early, would always be a close call with me!

After he went and I had washed up mother's breakfast things, I hit the supermarket.
I couldn't sleep again last night, so at 1am I decided to tidy my kitchen food cupboards, then my fridge and lastly my freezer.
All out of date store cupboard food stuff... surprisingly there was a bit... was bagged up and all the shelves were washed down, before I put everything neatly away.
So it was a trip to the supermarket to buy refills of the things that I had thrown away and how sad is this? I had even planned my weeks menus... gosh I'm so anal at 1am... but I was able to buy exactly what I needed, so hopefully no waste.
Thankfully I started to feel tired and retired to bed before I reached the stage of re-organising my knicker drawer by colour, style and comfort rating!
And best of all though, I was able to buy my food and my weeks petrol with my ill gotten gains from Friday night at the races!
Not that I condone betting at all of course.

After two more trips to mother's to sort out her meals, I decided that I had earned the right to go to the cinema.
I think my head is still buzzing about my transplant which in turn has given me a energy boost. I believe where they have told me that I have to get strong for the transplant, I am pushing my boundaries and the working hard at rehab has given me a surge of vivacity.
I do hope though that it doesn't all come crashing down around me.
The sleep pattern is a worry, as I need to sleep so my immunity doesn't get even lower, but for some reason I have turned into a night owl.
Ah well maybe early to bed tonight?

Lots of love Debbie x
