You know, there are so many drugs out there now, when I was a child there was just penicillin, which I am allergic to. So, not being able to treat my childhood pneumonias and then whooping cough, produced bronchiectasis. You have to try and lead as normal a life as possible. Now that Christmas approached, I keep out of the party scene with all the coughs and colds about and we are all responsible for helping ourselves to keep as fit as possible. Eat good food and keep active.
