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!

Busy, busy

I had a busy day today, a visit by the police, a plumber and a visit to rehab... Golly I sound like a rock star, well apart the plumber bit.
Started the day with the plumber who caught me off guard as he turned up at 8.30am to mend my toilet rather than 11.40am as told by the help desk. Poor man looked quite alarmed when I came to the door in my nightie and tubes up my nose! But now I have a toilet that flushes every time... Hoorah!

The visit from the police was not me being warned for my stroppy tempers and threatening behaviour, but to take a statement about my wing mirror which was snapped off a little while back by a twat. Of course I didn't admit that I would ram the violators head through drain grill if ever I caught them... it might ruin my sweet little old lady image.

This afternoon I had a run over to Spec Savers to hand in my £55 voucher from work towards my new glasses and straight into the clothes shop opposite and brought a couple of tops with some of the money... That's what I believe the youth of today would call 'Sweet', See I'm still in little old lady mode by calling them 'youths!'

Next I emptied my car ready for tomorrow as the garage will come and take it on a holiday to mend the wing mirror. Took me a while, dragging out the wheelchair and making sure I had everything that I needed for work... Blue badge, parking permit, work bag etc and I found five of those 'green' shopping bags in the boot where I always leave them in the car and end up buying another. And then off to rehab for more exercise. I was quite chuffed with myself as even though I started off with stats of 87, I actually did all the exercises. Ok not for the full 3 minutes on each one, but at least I did each one without moaning. Hopefully I will sleep better tonight.

Lots of love Debbie x
