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!

Ringing ears and nice dreams

Gosh waking up is such an adventure just lately! I'm always grateful that I wake up obliviously, but yesterday it was with a stonking headache and today's ailment is ringing in the left ear. The exciting explanation would be that I had slept walked into a nightclub, but I think the bottom line is that I was so tired that I slept like the dead on one side of my head all ight and maybe my ear, gawd forbid, or that both my ears are a wee bit on the waxy side?

Actually the drive into work was beautiful ringing ears or not. It has warmed up a lot since Sunday and was lovely, sunny and bright. Chris Evans was talking about an Indian Summer on the radio this morning and I think he could be right. Made it easier reading the text from Julie in Turkey. If it had been peeing down with rain again, it would have been road rage the whole way, but instead I just reminisced the whole journey in and it made me smile the whole time.

I was telling my sister over lunch yesterday when I fell in love with the country. I explained how Julie and myself had gone to a midnight BBQ at the 'Blue Lagoon' with two other couples, who we remained friends for years afterwards until we just lost contact. We laid back floating in the lagoon where the water was so dark that you couldn't see where the sky ended and the water began and all the dark was speckled with stars rather like being in an infinity mirror. The waiters from the hotel actually waded out into the water with our drinks on trays and served them as we floated. We all went skinny dipping, even Julie and after we ate on the beach (fully dressed!) we danced the night away. I even tried pole dancing on one of the beach umbrellas, but I got over zealous and nearly knocked myself out when I hit the concrete base with a wallop! It was a truly magical evening, well apart from the bump on the head!

I WILL go back and that I promise.

Lots of love Debbie x
