For the last few days, I have felt pretty darn good as things go. I've been feeling quite sprightly and managed to go out and about quite a bit. Tonight I'm hoping to go to the cinema with mum for a girlie night to see Prometheus. And a kind friend gave me some Cafe Rouge vouchers that she claimed when she cashed in her Tesco points, so I'm going to treat my lovely mum :)
I wanted to also take a moment to thank all the friends I have made through twitter and online forums who for the most part also live with chronic lung conditions. You have all been such a great support to me. More than you'll ever know. Just a year ago I felt so alone with all of it but you have given me reason to believe there is hope and your input has given me just the boost I need to start looking to the future again. I shouldn't name names as I'm scared I'll leave someone off the list but to name a few, Tor Tremlett - ever my inspiration, and fast becoming a cake decorating genius, Richard - who has helped me more than he'll ever know and offered me a friendship for which I am truly grateful (even if we did fall out over something silly), Gemma - for being an upbeat and ever optimistic friend, plus the Northern Ireland contingent - namely Lauren who incidentally has the coolest baby dogs in the world. And 'Sheffield Claire', always a shoulder to lean on - metaphorically of course as we actually haven't met yet haha. Plus our very own 'islander', Jack - keeping it real!! Luv you all - 'you da bomb'. Plus loads of others that I can't thank enough :)
Sickly sweet Oscar styly speech over for this year :) < bows>
