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!

All is calm

Ouch my throat is sore today, so having a long lie in and taking things slowly, as have my nephews this lunchtime. Not sure if it was where my lungs and consequently my throat went through the mill after my tests on Christmas Eve or I've caught one of the many bugs that have been going around, but either way it's very dry and getting painful.
Lunch at Matt's was fun spent with my sister, brother-in-law, niece, her gorgeous boyfriend and a couple of carers. Of course my sister and myself (my niece had to keep answering her phone as she was on call) had just got four wedges in 'Trivial Pursuit,' one more than the blokes team, when I noticed mother was tapping her watch! I ignored her for a while, but alas the tapping was then accompanied by a cough, so then I admitted defeat and took her home via all the Christmas lights. It's times like that, that I do get fed up and wish that she would just remember it's not all her, but she's old and I love her so what are you to do, plus she did behave yesterday.
So now I'm in my pjs and my sweat shirt, with a glass of brandy for medicinal reasons only of course and I have just watched the iconic scene of Hugh Grant dancing to 'Jump' when playing the Prime Minister in 'Love Actually.' So all is well in my world and I'm off to bed.

Lots of love Debbie x
