A Little Ole Scribblet

30 Replies

Wide eyed and bushy tailed

Normal mornings Ive always felt frail

How can this be

Is it me

Dont complain Jane

Rejoice at no pain

No panic and gasping for air

Calm and relaxed out of my window I stare

I wonder about this me thats changing

Iam still me but just rearranging

Life is a series of passing moments

Some good others challenging with many components

I cant change yesterday or even an hour ago

I can improve learn and grow though

Of course I still have emphysema and the rest

My growing wholeness have given the lungs a new zest

Just thought I'd share with you my friends

Thank-you for listening,love to you all I send

Thats all for now folks

Breathe easy

Be happy

:) :) :)

Hi Jane. Just what I needed as a kickstart! Been so down in the dumps with this hellish illness.

I too can 'improve learn and grow' Thank you.

Hope you are keeping as well as you can.

Hi Sara good for you we all have the ability.Iam feeling so much better mentally aswell as physically,still early days still learning.We are definitely challenged greatly with this illness.I cant explain exactly but I just seem to have a different mindset with me and my lungs and health generally,I feel very positive and have a sense of well being.It is all new to me but very profound that I could start to feel as I do.Iam so thankful as it has helped me deal with some difficult times recently.I do hope you can find a way out of feeling down in the dumps very soon im sure you will.Sending you peace and huggles Sara :) Janexx

Jane that's lovely :)

Thanks, L.L. I wont say a lot since this is public but Brian wont be getting better. Just a question of time. He gets up and dressed but difficult to control the pain. Another 111 last weekend. xx

Hi there singing man :P .Yes change is definitely afoot its all a new experience Tony and all great,dont get me wrong there are always boulders to climb and get over,but im dealing and coping in a different mindset.I have always been so good at complicating things,and analysing everything,its so much easier not to my load is so much lighter now.

Wonderful news Tony with being back on the transplant list,do you just wait now ? I hope its a short wait.You so deserve this you have worked so hard. Keep blinking well keep smiling cocker :P Janexx

in reply to longlungs

I'm doing OK - thanks for asking. As I cross my fingers and touch wood - my husband does seem OK!! The oxygen has been fantastic - he uses it when he starts to be really breathless and it has almost alleviated the panic attacks. As part of my sons degree course he is studying a creative writing module this semster - he has found he has a bit of a talent too. Keep those scribblets coming! Take good care, TAD xxx

How cool is that everyones a winner then redted,we all need that lift sometimes.My youngest son came home from work the other day singing the praises about somebody ,saying how right they were and how meaningful it was! Id been saying the same forever but Im mum and what I say falls very often on deaf ears,is the way it is as long as he has got it now is what counts doesnt matter who from.Lol :) Janexxx

My eldest Son now 50. Often says he thinks about my pearls of wisdom that I used to say to him,and say one day you will see I am right. He now agree's that 9 times out of 10, I was right.
