I'm a lot calmer today thankfully, although very tired as I never got to sleep until gone 2.30am last night where I was quite emotional and up again early to get shopping etc.
Still you live and you learn something new each day about yourself and other people, plus about your strengths and your weaknesses and yesterday was no exception to the rule.
I had another busy day with phone calls from Social Services and various other people regarding mother, and I must say I really am quite impressed that the Village Agent has got the people we need moving to help mother so quickly.
I finally feel as if mother is going to get the help that she needs at last and that I can concentrate on getting myself a bit of a respite by knowing she will be alright, especially when I do get the call from the transplant centre.
I had a visit from a work friend today which was very nice and gave me a chance to try out yet another dish from 'Slimming World', this time a curry for vegetarians.
Tasted really yummy, although I did add a tad too much curry spices yet again. I must have a heavy hand or something. No it's me talking when I should be watching what I'm adding.
Gosh talk about breaking out in a sweat when you're eating, even my nose was running at one point, which is not helpful when you have oxygen tubes up your nose!
She was going off to be weighed afterwards, so I wish her luck as it's so nerve racking worrying about whether you have lost any weight or haven't not especially when you have tried so hard to lose.
Not a lot to report today thankfully, so hopefully I can go to sleep tonight at a reasonable hour for a change.
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!
