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!

Nesting urges

Blimey if I didn't know better, I'd think I was pregnant with all this nesting that I've been doing today!
Talk about out with the old and in with the new, although there is no new coming in.
I have given my wardrobe a real overhaul and filled a large sack full to the top with old clothes, underwear, shoes and scarves all for recycling, plus a large holdall of good stuff, but now too large for me, to eBay.
I still have a few things hanging up which I can't quite make my mind up about, but I'll take everything out that's left and have a trying on session when I have the energy.
Probably this time next Sept!

I think it's this fear that when I go into Papworth, that people will look at my bedroom and think that I am a right untidy wretch and plus I have clothes hanging up that I have forgotten about too. Plus it's easier if I want Oliver to bring a certain outfit into the hospital, if he can actually see the wood for the trees!
Plus, If I'm losing weight, then I better wear some of the new good clothes that I brought when I retired and stop saving them for best. As best time never really comes does it? When it is time to wear them, I'm having a fat day or it's raining hard and I end up in my old faithfuls instead.
So a new me, I'm going to stop slobbing about and start looking good.

I even brought some new boxes to store things away properly under my bed. Of course they were right in the furthest corner of B&Qs that you could imagine and I hadn't taken my 'go faster' walker with me.
This is when I know I've got a lung disease, that and when I'm bending over the bath, washing off my hair colour.
I was absolutely shattered after doing that task tonight and by the time I had regained a steady breathing rate and I had stopped feeling dizzy, my hair was dried flat to my head!

Ah well another day tomorrow!
