Nice holiday

We are home again! We did so many that arjan became sick…what a pity!

Let’s start at the beginning. Monday morning we had to go to the town hall, to get my new passport and to bring some papers to get a scoot mobile. I had to make a copy of my new passport also for the scoot mobile. The papers were oke and it took only a few minutes. Then we went to the post office. I had to send back the sewing machine I ordered on the internet. It was not working good and the man from the sewing store said he couldn’t fix it. So I found out I had still guaranty. So I had to send back the machine and I get back the Porto costs. I get a new one or they make it…Well I have an new second hand machine so I rather would get my money back….Then We had to go to the vet, to get Macy’s diet food.

After lunch I slept a while on the sofa until the family was coming. Around 2 o’clock they were over here. We drove to IJhorst were hour little house was. Macy thought we had to drive for two hours, she was surprised we were there in 40 minutes. On the window at the house, there was a sticker, “no pats aloud!” oeps…arjans’ mum didn’t booked for the cat..
The oxygen was there, so I could stay!

The park was very quiet. It was a nice house. Three bedrooms, a big bathroom wit bath, a living room and a kitchen with dishwasher! In the barn there were the chairs for the garden. That day we discovered the park. We went cross country and got stuck in the woods with my wheelchair. We came at a camping ground but we think there will come new houses to rent. Tuesday we went to the Zoo in Emmen. It was very nice weather. Only a bit windy. Wednesday we went to the Lokkerij. That’s a place where storks have their nests and breed out their eggs. Thursday we went to Meppel to a fair. I bought some shoes. Friday we went home. We brought home Macy. Then we went to luttelgeest to the orchideenhoeve.
When we came home arjan went to bed. He was sick.
Saturday we went to the supermarket and watched tv. Most of the weekend we did nothing.

nice days and beautyfull weather, finally!

Thursday evening, after diner we drove to Tilburg. We left at 7 pm. The trip went good. Macy stayed on my lap very quietly. There wasn’t so many traffic as we thought it would. We arrived at 9 pm. Friday morning, I was awake very early. At 5 am. I couldn’t lay down anymore I had to do my aerosol therapy because I had breathing spasm. I slept on the sofa until my mum or dad came downstairs.
In the afternoon we went to Chaam, to the family Versteeg. We sat at their little home at a camping ground. It was very nice and cosy. We went for a walk over the camping. I couldn’t walk so I used the wheelchair. I didn’t bring it for nothing because I knew I had to use it.
When we came home at my parents’, we had a barbeque. Mum made her sate, the Indonesian way…jammy! We sat in the garden the whole evening, for the first time this year. Finally.

Saturday, we went to the mall in the Reeshof. I needed some shoes and my mum also. But I couldn’t find the right ones. Then we went to Breda to my aunt. Her backyard was ready. She had a nice terras with wooden chairs and an arbour. It was very beautiful. Mum, aunt joyce and I went to the market to get some fruit and vegetables. I sat in my wheelchair. The men’ watched formula 1.
After diner at home, Arjan brought us to the theatre. Mum and I went to see Jesus Christ superstar, rock opera. I had some tickets at the second balcony but I couldn’t get up the stairs so I got two tickets in the auditorium. Problem solved. It was very good. The lyrics were in dutch but we knew the music. Very good singers. At 10.30 pm it ended and arjan send me a sms that he was waiting at front of the theatre. What a service…

Sunday we went to Baarle Nassau. I bought shoes and slippers! Nice!
Mum didn’t find shoes and dad got a jeans. We ate Belgian baked potatoes. At home I slept on the sofa and the others watched formula 1. While ajax-psv had their soccer final, we had diner and after the match we went to Heerenveen again. We were home at 10 pm.

Monday my house keeper came again and meanwhile I walked to the dentist two blocks from here, I could walk again… When I came back, in 20 minutes, my physical therapist came, and I worked on t he home trainer. It went oke also.
Tuesday I went to the pharmacy and I bought some little things. After diner we went to my cousin. It was his birthday.

Wednesday I went to the hospital, UMC-Groningen for my cf check up. I thought I needed an antibiotics because of that breathing spasm. I have for a couple off weeks. But there is no sign of an infection in my lungs. Well, it’s true, It doesn’t feel like it, but why do I have breating spasm? Well, it can be the blood sugars. They are higher lately. I have to go to the diabetes nurse to learn about an insulin pump. Maybe that’s it. Now I have to take 6 times a day insulin, more then before…iehh

Thursday I supposed to go to my swimming but I had an conference for the astma foundation in Haren. UMC-Groningen revalidation. Beatrixoord. We spoke about fellow-sufferer contacts. And how we can combine it with therapy. It was a very interesting afternoon.

Friday I had to wait for my oxygen and it came at 11.30 am, so it was early. At 4 pm I went to the swim group and I trained in the water with a physical therapist. It was oke. I was home at 6 pm. Arjan came home shortly after me. We made diner and watched tv.

Saturday we went to the supermarket and to the market in the village. Then we sat in our garden and we watched the qualification of the formula 1. At 6 pm we made diner and then we went to thialf to see the taptoe with a couple of marching bands. Very nice! Marching band van Renssen exists 50 years now and a lot of my friends from my yought were in de band. I went to see them al the time but I couldn't get in it because of my cf. We were home at 12 am. It was raining al little bit.

Today we have to clean the house and do the laundry. Tomorrow we go on a little trip until Friday. Arjans’ parents, his sister and her boyfriend are coming to. It is a house for 6 persons. Macy is also going. Hope she will like it…

Good week!

My little pony's

Last week I had trouble with breathing. More than normally. I don’t know why. I don’t feel if I have a pneumonia. I was tired after the swim Thursday and Friday. When I came home I couldn’t do anything. Arjan went to the grocery store by himself. Saturday at queens day, I didn’t do much. Sunday we baked an bread in the machine. It smells so good when you wake up!!
Monday my housekeeper came again and I had to train on the home trainer with my physical therapist. It went oke.
Tuesday I went to the sewing machine store to buy a second handed machine. My machine is broken so I wanted an other machine. But a new one is very expensive. So I bought a second-hand machine. I parked my car to far so I could get it later this week. I had to go to the internetcafe meeting in the afternoon. So when I came home at 4 I needed an little sleep on the cough.
Today I went to the post office to change dollars into euros. To buy the sewing machine. I also had to go to the town hall, to order a new passport. Now a day it takes a week to get a new one…so next Wednesday I need to get it. I also got some papers to try to get a scoot mobile. Little walks are difficult for me now too… Then I got my sewing machine.

I made a “crochet” little pony. One for me and one for my niece. I have now stiff fingers!!
But It is nice to do when you can’t do much.



Arjan is to the soccer game form Heerenveen against twente to get to the UEFA cup. I hope they will win….I think so they do…
I’m going to watch tv, drink some tea and do my aerosol therapy…
