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!

A little bit of this and a little bit of that

Yay... I have been awarded two shiny stickers tonight both for all my extra exercise... a bronze and a silver sticker!
How about that then, me a raspberry ripple getting shiny stickers for exercise.
I am so proud of myself.
Ooo and I lost another lb. I had hoped for a little bit more, but at least I'm going in the right direction and they do say, that it stays off longer if it comes off in little bits and I've not put any on as yet.
I am so taking my slimming book complete with stickers to show the specialist at Papworth when I go back for my three day stay, who knows he might even give me a shiny lung shape sticker!

Not a bad day actually today. I was really tired all day which is always a bit worrying, but as I have upped my game somewhat just lately and I do have a stupid habit of over doing things, I'm not surprised that I'm tired.
But today was all about little bits. A little bit of washing, a little bit of ironing, more than a little bit of food shopping alas... and food has gone up more than a little bit too! A little bit of spoiling myself with a weight watchers biscuit when visiting Julie this afternoon. Gosh having something crunchy in your mouth is so damn good!
And lastly, a little bit of pushing myself a little bit more at rehab.
It should have been my last session at rehab today, but as Hannah says it's only a small group at the moment, she reckons I can stay on especially as I'm so close at getting these new lungs now and we don't want me to stop the momentum of me doing so well keeping fit. But we decided after a chat, that I can try and go for the four minutes for each exercise from now on.

Well I am really tired now and can't stop yawning, so off to bed now.

Lots of love Debbie x
