And here I sit drip drying, reading your ode, sorry no selfie, frighten you all to death. Have a good day Don, the winds dropped on the east coast this morning hopefully a trip to see the sea. Jane🐶🏖
This reminds me of when i cared for mum with her emphasema, she had a walk in shower and used to get claustrophobic if the glass door was closed. There was limited space as it was a circular one and the only way i could help her to bathe was by leaving the door open on it . So i used to end up getting as soaked as her !
Hi don xxx another great poem, your very good!! Xxx i can barely turn my phone on though so selfies might be past me, and not great for anybody lol xxx burs xxxx
Youve done it again Don another funny ode. I'm of for a bath soon but a selfie would frighten the readers. I've lost weight so people would be sending food parcels if they saw me.
Hi. I thought i was the only person whos anxiety hits the roof when showering or getting a bath !!! Its not even the effort it takes, although it takes everything iv got sometimes lol. Not sure why i get so panicy, but im working on it. This site helps no end with the little things that happen as well as the big xxx love burs xxxx
Hi and at least we know it does effect other folk with lung issues. Like you rightly say,its not the actual washing ones body and hair but that blinking ANXIETY rearing its ugly head and making us feel so terribly unsure of our ability to shower before passing out,lol! Like you I take it slow,open windows,put on air extractor and keep the water.just warm enough not to cause any steam! OMG,I'm making it sound like a form of torture aren't I. I really need to get "a grip" and deal with this.
Loud music helps me sometimes lol. Think uv hit the nail on the head though, passing out before finishing in my case means the embarassment of being found, sans clothing,by whoever comes home 1st, not something i wish on me or them lol. Just have to keep trying lol xxx love burs xxxx
Very good advice. Sit with a dressing gown around me and get my breath back. If you haven't got copd its difficult to understand how much it takes out of you !!
I think these poems of your Don should all be put in a book for "COPD BATHROOM FUNNIES" FOR THOSE THAT ARE STILL YOUNG AT HEART! You would add a book to the World of Lung issues! Go for it Don!
Well I see it differently, HealthUnlocked keep all the messages posted in their massive database for members to search. When people who are desperately ill write to me to say I made them smile, or laugh even, that means more to me than any rewards I would get from elsewhere (which in anycase are doubtful). But thank you Janet you are a star. 😘
Please raise the Titanic from the ocean floor... Find all of her treasures and Skeletons....... Wax the decks, unlock the Captain's door! ( LOL YOUR TURN ..envent 4 lines! Fun!)
But you may find some of the skeletons... With No breathing problems on board! Some are still laughing and dancing...".MY KIDS"...... says the Lord! Your turn...
No snoring allowed on the Titanic...Not while shes down on the Ocean Floor... Get up....Wake up ...Mr. Don.....Too many areas we can now explore! your turn
