It is now 6 months since my lungs first gave up. I know there are people a lot worse off than me, and I am enjoying all the new crafty arty stuff I have tried but I really want my life back now. I want to dance and run and see all my lovely students again. I want to have them running the bleep test and be able to join in to motivate them. I want to remember Ive left something at the pool and jog down to get it. I want to fill in that extra space in the netball team during practice. But even more than that, I want to walk out the door and not notice the change in oxygen saturation in the air. I want to do my own shopping, in one go, rather than having the split shopping over a few days to manage it. I want to walk up the two flights in stairs to me flat without needing to rest. I want to go Christmas shopping myself and pick my own presents to give rather than sitting on the internet and hoping. And I want to wake up and stay awake over three hours at a time, without feeling awful. But most of all, I will continue to hope for a cure, because asthma is not just about an inhaler.
