If stress is a non starter for breathing problems, then I am lucky I didn't suck in a whole back pack's worth of oxygen in one go from where I was hyperventilating this morning!
And why was I a quivering wreck? I'll tell you why... I was trying to park that damn hearse in the multi storey car park that's why. I attempted a 3 point turn, but it turned into a 375 point turn, and I was mortified, as I never have problems reversing in my own car.
The sweat was pouring off of me where I was panicking so much.
The reversing bleepers on the car went into over drive where I shunting backwards and fore wards so many times, to where I was arguing with the bleepers, telling them that I had more room and begging them to sssh so I could concentrate.
Did they sssh? No way, they started bleeping at me like an invasion of toy space men and then suddenly they just flat lined on me... Ooo now that was worrying...I had killed the car.
All the while of me going backwards and fore wards, there was a bloke sitting there in his car watching me and yep, three years of learning British Sign Language helped me lip read what he was saying... very clearly!
To his question of 'why buy a ******* big car if I can't ******* drive it?' It's not mine, but some joker on the courtesy car desk sent it to me.
And to his fact that I was a woman ******* driver and blonde ****. Yes true I am a woman, but my blonde comes out a bottle and I'm neither stupid or part of a woman's anatomy, but you sir are a complete knob head!
If ever I wanted to get out and leave a car where it stood, it was then. I even contemplated calling my brother-in-law and ask him to drive over and move it for me.
I would have loved to go over to this chaps car and point out the error of his ways, but he drove off too quickly and when I had eventually parked it and collapsed in a heap... it was in another car parking space completely!
Ooo and why was I on this journey of self humiliation? To buy a 'Last Will and Testament' of course. Gawd I nearly died before I'd even filled the damn thing in!
Yes, I can confirm that stress does affect your breathing.
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!
