Vaxjo and Kay

Hello, Gosh, gosh gosh.. What a lot to tell.... I went to Vaxjo for the European Heart and Lung Transplant Games... I loved Sweden and the while competition really..

I got a gold and two bronzes but I think the bronze in the table tennis singles was my best achievement in years.. I have such a small lung capacity and had to draw on all my experience to get through 19 games.....

There was a great friendliness about the games - which can be lacking in the British Transplant Games - perhaps becausde we were all lung or heart transplantees, or both.

The day I flew back home I had to finish my ILM5 as it all had to be presented at work the next day...

I celebrated it all with a weekend of Champagne and Pimm's with the very beautiful Kay D'arcy in my garden....

It feels I haven't stoppped.

I had a CF outpatients and everything was the same as last time - after the tiring few days I had had I was pleased with that...

There will be more info about my new treatment next time - as I am waiting for a start date for it all.... Until then,,, mucho luvo xx

Lots of stuff

Hello Blogettes, It has been a topsy-turney few weeks in Mark Towers... My lung capacity at the hospital is the same as when I left hospital... I have had a several little colds and see to get a knock-back each time I make progress.

Then I had a mystery knee injury, had my car broken into, restructuring at work, Villa lost the cup final (but got into the FA Cup semis) and booked my flights to Sweden for the transplant games...

I also met up with a friend in Coventry who knows the people who run the Park Gate and my friend Lydia moved to Australia.... and have had a couple of manic weekends in Wilmslow (where the posh people drink!)

Oh and my house is featured in the new edition of Your Move magzine (get me!) - I went around the week before taking atmospheric pictures to decorate bare walls...

The spare room on the first floor now has an 80s theme wth lilac bedspread, sweat bands and even a signed Erasure picture on the wall... whoop whoop!

So you can forgive me (I hope) for not replying sooner.... I have my bad knee up and have a whiskey in my hand and am praying to the God of good health once more....
