I have decided enough of being miserable and things are only going to change if i try and change them. I am going make a list of that i want or need to do in the future:
1. Try and get some better control of my health, firstly get my RBH appointment brought forward, they are the only people that can really help and if they cant do anymore then atleast i can say that i tried.
2. Start thinking about number 1, i cant please everyone else all the time so i am going to stop trying, if people are my real friends they will stand by me no matter what. For a little while i am going to concentrate on myself and getting what i want or need out of life.
3. Decide what to do with my job, whether i reduce my hours or change completely i am not sure, all i do know is that i can no longer work full time and have any kind of life, maybe i could just reduce my hours for a couple of months and see what happens.
4.start the OU course that i have been wanting to do for ages but keep putting of.
Well thats a start but most importantly live every day as if there was no tomorrow!!

FEELING DOWN POST HOLIDAY
Well just returned from a fabulous holuday to turkey, really needed the rest as was really tired before i left!!
the holiday was great, laid on the beach all day!! as for my health it was relatively ok over there, had a few dodgy moments but nothing i couldnt deal with.
no back in england and things couldnt be more different. As soon as i landed my lungs turned against me and they dont seem to want me to have a life at all!!
I guess i was hoping that once back from holiday things would be different but they arent.
Just been to see respiratory nurse and she was fab, she could tell i was fed with it all and has given me some advice, the most important thing is that i need my brompton appointment brought forward, so next week i am going to get on to it.
I have to go back to work next week and i am honestly dreading it!! i just hope i feel a bit better otherwise it is going to be really hard work, i am not sure how much longer i want or can work 36 hours a week (it frustrates me as i used to work 50 hours a week no problems.
Well hopefully this is just a bit of feeling down post holiday and i will pick myself up over the weekend!!

Health wise, things very up an down , had hospital in the week and the nurse was really lovely, she sorted out my theophyylin level and arranged everything i needed, also she is talking to consultant about infection again, so just waiting to hear! she deserves a medal as she helps me loads and i know she is really busy!!
Still in lots of pain but not to bad with painkilers and am determined to not let it get in the way of gettng on, wlthough the truth is it bring me to tears regularly!!

well another week gone and what a horrible one it has been!
started on monday with the anniversary of my mums death! i miss her terribly at the moment with all that is going on!!
some positive stuff has happened, spoke to nurse at local hospital and she was fab as allways, really helpful and managed to speak to the RBH for me! I also had a message from RBH to say that they are still looking into the situation and have an appointment on 19th may so we wil see what happens after that.
Struggling emotionally at the moment although managing to hide it most of the time! i think it is because i am so exhausted all the time and just want to collapse when i get home from work with exhaustion it is so frustrating as my brain wants to run around like an idiot but my body says no. the pain is terrible, taking loads of pain killers and even that doesnt help.
I really must stop moaning as i i am well aware there are many people out ther much worse.
at least the weekend is here so having a rest and catching up on stuff at home, got to look into getting a new car as this week but we will see, hopefully dad will sort it for me.
well another week os over and new one about to begin!
this week i am determined to be more positive and get things moving, just need to find some energy to do it.
