I know it's hard, but try not to blame yourself for becoming ill, Jane. It's just one of those things that happens to some of us and not others. Try to use all that emotional energy to start living as healthy a lifestyle as you can in your circumstances.

What hobbies do you have, that can take your mind off your situation? Some of us do handcrafts and painting. I play musical instruments, read books and collect post cards.

jane5 in reply to Ergendl

I like reading I'm interested in hand crafts I like walks when we can get out and about I watch the birds on the table in the garden what it was sassy I let all the birds go when I was diagnosed except for some I couldd not rehome I moved them well away from me like the nurse told me to and wore a mask to go near them like she advised I could not bear to have them put to sleep one is nearly 15years old now I feel to blamejane

Yes, Jane, I played the organ and a keyboard at church this morning. Spent some time continuing to reorganise my music room in the afternoon, and cooked a joint of beef for tea. Exhausted again now, so should sleep well. Hope you sleep well too.

Ergendl in reply to jane5

Hi Jane. I've just got back from a week in Venice with my husband. It was a lovely holiday, warm but a little too humid at times, some wonderful churches and museums and paintings, and a lovely gondola ride to St Mark's Square.

Good luck with the nettles. Hope you're feeling a bit better now the weather here has cooled.

Ergendl profile image
Ergendl in reply to jane5

I sleep reasonably well, but usually wake up several times during the night. I listen to story CDs to help me get back to sleep. It must be a time for painting - you did your kitchen, I took a couple of days to paint a fence and side door.

jane5 profile image
jane5 in reply to Ergendl

oh the chicken manure is fowl ergende it stunk nearly the whole area out afew months ago about 5 months ago I had it all comming through the airvents I'm wondering if that's what's made my lungs get bad has it even made news headlines it lingered for days on top we don't live far from a chicken farm where their shut in never see any daylight but on certain days you get the odour of there too and they usto spray it all over the place towards the pavement when you had to walk past it to go to the shop it went all in your hair and clothes you stunk of it then there's regular crop spraying in fields we live in the middle of there's loads in this area with lung disease jane

Ergendl profile image
Ergendl in reply to jane5

My husband and I play some of the FB games - Bejewelled Blitz, Criminal Case, and Bubbles IQ; plus the Xbox Live Solitaire games on our Windows 10 laptops. They're great for taking your mind off aches and pains, and for getting me to rest after I've done something tiring.

We've got a good day today - a new washing machine is going to be delivered and installed. The old one was getting very noisy and didn't spin very well.

Hope you have a good day. Good luck changing your doctor's surgery.

jane5 profile image
jane5 in reply to Ergendl

hi not heard from you for a while hope all is well been writing out some Easter cards planning some walks for next week ergende been haveing lots of side affects after starting on 40mg prednisolone 6weeks ago chest stiffness pain blurred vision stomach cramps how have you been going for Lung function tests soon again I get fed up with all these tests though I've been watching Collins story isn't he a brave person he is very inspirational bless him we will take our little dog Rosie with us next week she's very demanding likes alot of exercise she takes us the walk not the other way around jane

Ergendl profile image
Ergendl in reply to jane5

Hi Jane, I've been a bit busy with end of the Tax Year stuff as I'm self employed. I feel quite well, just very sleepy all the time at the moment.

Sorry to hear about the side effects you're getting with prednisolone. They can help you feel a lot better in some ways but much worse in others. Keep going with the tests - they should help the medics treat you better. And great about your dog Rosie taking you for walks - she'll help you keep fit. I'd love to have a dog but so far only managed to persuade my husband to let us have our cat, Tinker.

jane5 profile image
jane5 in reply to Ergendl

hi ergende just been on a walk with little Rosie she took us she loves going long walks down the country Lanes there's an old war memorial somewhere down the lane from us where a bomber I think it was a Lancaster bomber crashed during the war well I don't know if you believe in ghosts but one day me and our sons where walking down there with their sister and we saw a young man his face looked burned he had the old flying jacket on the second world war clothes fur around his jacket collar boots and his hat and he came up the side of the farm across the field onto the lane walking up towards us and vanished into thin air no where for him to go its all flat Land mostly here we will never forget you could see he was dressed like he was on a flight jane

Ergendl profile image
Ergendl in reply to jane5

Wow, Jane, that must have been very spooky. I do believe in ghosts or spirits, and often feel presences in old places I visit, but I've never seen an apparition.

I've got a busy day at church today - playing for two services, and we have a couple of meetings and a Bring and Share lunch after our morning service. Shame to be inside on such a lovely spring day.

Hope your day goes well for you. Enjoy your walks with Rosie - she sounds a real treasure.

jane5 in reply to Ergendl

hii ergende no he never frightened us he just looked solid like a ordinary young man its the. Clothes and the way hhe vanished near flat open fields that proved he wasn't alive he looked quite sad they crashed down there whilst on a mission during the war the air base is just up from us my husband said he must of been walking back there from the crash when we saw him bless him
