What a difference a year and positive thinking can make.
Last November I went to Ben and Becky's wedding and was really chuffed that I had a dance then, only two dances mind you and Robin was holding me up most of the time, but I did it and it felt great.
Tonight at Becky's 30th birthday party, I had quite a few dances, I think about six in total and without anyone holding me up!
Ok a couple of them were more me standing and swaying from side to side with a bit of arm waving action, but I felt more like a party goer this time rather than like a maiden aunt just sitting watching from the sidelines.
I loved dancing and was always one of the first up on the dance floor and one of the last to sit down before this disease kicked in and I can never understand anyone that just shakes their heads and go all coy when people try and get them up.
Use it before you lose it!
I'm hoping that some of this fast swaying action would have burnt up some calories, as I am running out of room to write all my 'syns' on my confession list this weekend. I think my mini target of losing a 1lb might have gone bang along with the party poppers!
I knew Monday that I was going to have trouble ahead.
I had a chocolate birthday cupcake which was very yummy, a cornetto type ice cream with was so good that it actually felt naughty when Iwas eating it and a Southern comfort and diet coke, which I raised to toast me while others thought I'd gone to get a coca cola!
I hadn't eaten my 'A' and 'B' choice that we are supposed to have on this diet, so I live in hope that it might possibly balance it's self out? Nah.
The realisation that once I go on the active list for the transplant that I won't be able to drink a glass of the hard stuff at parties etc anymore until it's done, is a bit daunting I have to admit.
Still all in a good cause.
Well this tired bunny has got a trip to the seaside tomorrow with my sons, so I think I will fall into bed and I don't think sleep won't be far away for a change.
Bye bye Debbie at 54, hello Debbie at 55. This could be an exciting year ahead.
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!
