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!

Victory

Move over Sherlock as there is a new detective in town.
I know I am like a dog with a bone when I know I'm right about something, but in this case me being an old dog has paid off and my reputation of being totally anal when keeping hospital and doctors appointments, is back on track.
I knew that my surgery was wrong and the very nice nurse who did my smear test for me today, solved the mystery for me there and then.
Yes I was right...well nearly, as my last smear was not 2007, but in fact the 1st May 2008 and not 2005 as my surgery told Papworth...Grrrrr...so I'm two years too early for this smear, but it's done...again.
The nurse found it in the second column that she clicked on, and said that someone hadn't placed the data in the main results column.
Good news though, as it was negative, but it still means that the surgery has actually held up my going active for the last couple of weeks for nothing and if it wasn't for the fact that I wasn't prepared to take their information as gospel, I could have been waiting a lot longer and that is so damn annoying.

I still don't feel a 100% percent today, but at least that's one worry off my shoulders. I think Papworth are still unimpressed with the fact that my surgery closes on a Wednesday, let alone this little error.
I have now got nearly two days worth of antibiotics inside me now, so lets hope whatever it is will soon start shifting. It could just be another cold as people in shops and other public places have been coughing and spluttering for ages. I do wish that this headache would pass though, as it feels like someone is squeezing my left eyebrow very tightly!

The update on my car is it should be back tomorrow now, as although the body work was finished, it failed the road test... something to do with the back axle. Gosh the laddo who caused the accident must have really smacked my poor car when he hit it.
I had to fill the hire car up today with diesel and luckily I had only used half a tank, as that half tank cost me just over £50. Blimey, I glad I'm not driving that forever.

I've decided against going to my course tonight, as I think another early night is in order tonight to try and get rid of whatever is lurking below the surface of my poor little lungs!

Lots of love Debbie x
